Sunday endorphins
Found in the pool, lap by lap
Hallmark holiday.
Art Prescription: What if everyday was Mother’s Day, Nurse’s Day, Father’s Day? How about we treat everyday as a holiday to celebrate life and those we love? Why wait until it’s pushed upon us and most people think everyone else is celebrating the perfect “day.” My wish!!! Be real…be you…

Out of the cocoon
She unfolds her brand new wings
And takes her first flight.

I can see clearly
Through these rose colored glasses
And the scent…divine.
Art Prescription: I think my theme for looking forward to a new year is all about roses! A few thoughts:
Rose Colored Glasses – Optimism and gratitude work!
A Bed of Roses – Seek comfort everyday…make your home your haven.
Everything is coming up roses – Expect the best…dream…and plan for them to come true.
Rose Scented Water – Yep, bathe in it!
A Rose is a Rose – Be authentic…be you!

Extra wheels balance
Side to side, wobble, and weave
All at once, the launch!
Art Prescription: How does one find balance? It takes support and trust once the “training wheels” are gone. Trust in yourself!

One more coat should do
Re-do, re-paint, re-color
Wait for muse to speak.
Art Prescription: New Year, a new blank canvas! I’ve painted about 5 different things on 2 canvases in the past couple of days. Changed color palette and design completely, waffled, stood staring….nothing! I know what I must do. I must leave the studio in order for my muse to appear. Going………..
