Being Present
My painting journey began on December 8. I painted a few Christmas things that I saw on IG with a cheap little paint set and brush. Then after participating in a two week writing sanctuary, I picked up my paint brush again. This time with new paints, brushes and paper courtesy of a wonderful gift…

Grief Revisited…

by
It takes only a song, a smell, a memory shared on FB, a sound, a picture, a date on the calendar… and the grief comes flooding back. Fresh as the day it began. Today was just that… a date on the calendar. Four months to the day. A time on the clock. It happened right…
