I think that all art is done with the help of channeled energies. We live in a multidimensional universe where we have access to spirits and souls who excel in infinite possibilities. Are we so pompous to think that everything we create emanates only from our small bodies and minds? We each do have unique… Read more »
If you traveled to see your family this weekend, I hope that your trip was easier than mine. What should have been a simple trip from Santa Fe to Denver to Philadelphia became a 20-hour odyssey from Santa Fe to Denver to Chicago to Philadelphia, arriving slightly before midnight. While holidays with family tastes like… Read more »
One of our biggest challenges is to accept that people see things differently based on their experiences both past and present.

I look forward to the Farmer’s Market all week. Local vendors bring whatever is in season…red, black (yes, a black variety) and green apples, chilis, beets, pears, arugula, and bean sprouts cut off at the time of purchase.
