Maddie and I are enjoying visits to the new Joslin Diabetes Center. The beautiful bright colors make you forget that the reason you are here is because your child has a life-threatening disease which requires ongoing management and education. This morning, we met with the wonderful Kathie Cooper, our diabetes educator. I say "our", because … Continue reading Joslin Diabetes Center

Maybe I’m Just A Little Girl…
This is the refrain from one of my FAVORITE songs by one of my FAVORITE musician/singer/songwriters: Mindy Gledhill. You just gotta listen to her music! It's the most wonderfulest!

...(whispering) i don't know if you've seen or not, but there's a new gallery over in the right-hand margin of my blog. It's called Fine Art America. I'm giving this a try as a way to offer prints, cards, and even canvas prints of my artwork. I'd really love to know what you think! ...(whispering … Continue reading Pssstt…
What I Have to Give
When the basket passes by, I often wish I could give something other than money. Not that I always have that to give. We've been taught that, MORE than our money, God wants our Hearts. So I often imagine my own little self inside that basket, being whisked away for use in His Kingdom. I … Continue reading What I Have to Give

What … Continue reading The Habit of Attention

I was in my morning walk "zone", lost in thought, when I became aware that I was being watched. Looking up from sand and shells, I saw seagulls, hundreds of them, lining the beach where waves meet the sand, all of them standing looking my direction. It was as if they had tweeted each other … Continue reading On Parade

A Day at the Beach…
"A day at the beach is like silk in your hands..." I dunno. Even though there's sand and salty water, it's just how it feels to me...silky, blythe days unfurling in color and doodles.P.S. I'm using my ipad for blogging, including taking the pictures. The color is not nearly so vibrant as the actual page … Continue reading A Day at the Beach…
The Beauty of Line & Watercolor
A couple of days ago, Maddie and I sat out in our backyard, in the cool morning, to draw. I had several sketchbooks (as I do when using watercolor, so that I can move on to another drawing while one is drying), pens, watercolors; and she had her big sketchbook, pencil, and markers. When she … Continue reading The Beauty of Line & Watercolor
