    Relaxing and Exploring

    May 26, 2024 / No Comments

    Day 3 I think it’s important to build in days of relaxation in between your days of adventures when going on vacation. This was a new concept to my husband, Patric who wants to jam-pack as much as possible when we go to new places. I understand that desire because you don’t necessarily know if/when you will be back to…

    Our Travel to Mexico

    February 25, 2024 / No Comments

    At the end of January, my husband and I flew to Merida, Mexico. Merida is on the Yucatan Peninsula and is just over 3 hours northwest of Cancun. Neither one of us had ever been to Merida, so we were looking forward to a new adventure. We stayed at the Chable’ Yucatan Resort, which is about 40 miles east of…

    Hopefully, you have updated your bookmarks to come visit me on my new website. You should notice that I’ve made a few changes. I now have my etsy store linked here. I hope you’ll browse and decide to buy something. I struggled a bit with commodifying what I’m doing, however, more than a few people have asked to buy things…

    So I did a thing

    December 28, 2021 / 1 Comment

    I’ve been encouraged by a few people to start selling my art online. I’ve been reluctant because I don’t want the pressure of creating to sell. Painting has been a way for me to relax during the craziness that all began in March 2020. It’s been very meditative for me, so the thought of commodifying that felt like pressure to…

    Returning

    May 6, 2021 / 17 Comments

    Yesterday, I had to go to the my office to print up documents for a project for work. It was a lot of pages to print up at home, so going to the office was the only answer. I’ve been back in the office only one other time since we were shut down. My desk is still a mess (where…
