I am blessed with quite a few artful friends with whom I enjoy getting together to draw or paint, knit or crochet. The above sketch is of myself and a friend who is also named Jennifer.

A Vision
For several months now, there have been rumblings under my feet. I felt it in the months leading up to my surgery in June and have continued to sense this in the days following. It's a shift in focus, even if it is somewhat dimmed at times, a new path or direction, a revisiting of … Continue reading A Vision
*Life
My life is barreling in directions I'm unsure whether I really want to go. Our son is beginning his senior year of high school. Our oldest goes back for her junior year in college. Our youngest begins 7th grade. Am I ready for this? I feel inside a fragility about it all. An uncertainty as … Continue reading *Life

Dancing through Pain
Pain is an odd thing. It has lingered far longer than I had thought it would post-surgery. It takes a stronger hold in the evenings, keeping me from feeling like I want to go out anywhere. It can drain the life right of you. I've been trying to fight it by not only taking pain medication … Continue reading Dancing through Pain

So many times, I am unclear as to how I will proceed with a drawing/painting, but just beginning, … Continue reading Following a Hunch

Celebration Bouquet
On June 25th, my husband and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary. I have two versions of this gorgeous bouquet he sent me. This one is in LINE and then watercolor added in.

Thrive
A dear, longtime friend of mine came to visit with me this week. We are both going through a rough patch it seems, though our situations are very different from one another. She told me a story of how she's been going on walks in her neighborhood where there's a swath of overgrown weeds along … Continue reading Thrive
