Must we move forward

Away from the simple, real

Where you can smell grass.

Art Prescription: Time away from the computer. I’m worried about our future, children who don’t touch the ground, know what grass smells like.

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

I have a special treat for you today! I’ve been working with a group of young environmentalists to bring to life a body of kid’s art. Last summer these NC Kids painted their favorite NC threatened bird with my coaching.

Announcing The Threatened Bird Project Note Cards!! My company has produced this charming set of 12 note cards, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to our local Audubon chapter. http://www.newhopeaudubon.org

Please visit my Etsy shop to make your purchase to support the birds!

Two in the morning

I wake and can’t go to sleep

For thinking of you.

Art Prescription: it’s really hard to turn our brains off at night. Mantras, prayers, and deep breathing can sometimes not remedy sleeplessness. We toss and turn, rolling over options, bargains, denial. And yet the sun comes up facing us with another day of how to live.
