Seeing The Colors

  • Posted in stories

Red, Green & Everything In Between Things take place through sight and through blind action. Much of growing up is simply seeing where you acted blindly. I know where I was wrong, in believing that the idea of something is somehow better than what it actually is, better than the raw, bitter truth of who [ READ MORE ]

I've been running a marathon for a while now. Starting up a shop takes serious reserves, you have to be prepared to work hard, focus, and retain strength for when times aren't so easy. I've done it. And now, as we close our second year in one week, I have to dig deep to find [ READ MORE ]

Stingy With Your Info

I grew up in a family where I was always encouraged to help others when I could. Sometimes this meant donating your time, or providing someone with a potential business contact.

This little fish was my favorite Halloween visitor. Not only is Ila a very special girl but her costume embraced the beauty and magic of playing dress up.

The unknown creates mystery and intrigue for all of us. I always loved the idea as a child that you could look into a crystal ball and see the future. I also loved the pursuit and the excitement of discovering. The beauty in this photograph captures the wonderment that I would feel long ago and [ READ MORE ]

Some days are just better spent on the couch……. What a dreary, raining, dark day. On my less productive days I often pretend to work and never actually get anything done. Today I just accepted that I would spend the day on the couch and replenish my depleted stores of energy. I would recharge my [ READ MORE ]

Overcoming The Line of Linear Thinking

It's a fine line between walking a creative path and being mistaken for crazy.  I've never made important life decisions based on what others think about me, but I will say that the constant pressure of linear thinking in my world can make me question if I'm just wondering in the dark.  Creativity of any [ READ MORE ]

What a Great Idea!

This morning I did my little meditative walk to try and clear my mind before the work day began. It was beautiful outside, the sun shining, crisp, cold fall air surrounding the lake. I started to focus my thoughts on the cards, how would I keep from being discouraged with the project? How would I [ READ MORE ]

Hi Jean, I’m Thrilled To Be Here.

I definitely believe in the "build it and they will come" theory. You have to put yourself, your ideas and your hopes out into the world in order for something to manifest. Whenever I get into that place of doubting this project, I think what will this amount to? Will it ever get out into [ READ MORE ]
