Freedom of choice is everywhere when packing. Who knew there were 40-year-old cake knives in the back of the drawer? And, they are probably virgins because I don’t ever remember using them. Candles, barbeque mitts, sun visors…who cares? But, I have to make a decision on whether they come or go. I hardly slept last… Read more »
Being in Santa Fe is not the only valuable part of this. For me it is the quality of experiences along the way. I don’t expect moving to erase what I need to work on. There is no delete tab there. Those things have to be addressed here and now. But, how I proceed from… Read more »
I am moving to Santa Fe in two weeks! How did this happen so fast? This is the time to clean out, close down and not replenish. Eat food that has been in the freezer for a year. Yuch! Now I know why it has been in the freezer for a year. No new jar… Read more »

Last week on Super Soul Sunday, Oprah featured Louie Schwartzberg, a cinematographer who specializes in nature films. His time-lapsed pictures of the grandest and tiniest parts of our earth create spectacular films. I highly recommend looking him up on youtube. His camera zooms in on a meadow swarming with monarch butterflies and a nest of… Read more »
For those of you who follow this blog, I’m sorry that I missed writing last week. I was traveling. Along with being busy and sometimes not having the opportunity to write, traveling opens me up to see things in a new way. It gets me out of my little world and reminds me that people… Read more »
I gave away my sculpture stand. I gave away anatomy books dotted with my fingerprints in clay, the pages so worn that they were no longer attached to the binding. I gave to my artist friend armature wire that supports a sculpture like its skeleton. She was thrilled to receive them. New to her; old… Read more »
I am sitting in a coffee shop listening to soft sixties music waiting with everyone else for the snowstorm to end. Yes, it snows in Santa Fe, and the locals are grateful for the moisture. I am reflecting on my time here as the month of exploration is almost over. Within two weeks, I… Read more »
