Two peas in a pod
They sat and watched the sun rise
And said, “I love you.”
Art Prescription: Relationships are precious.

Dream Weaver October 3, 2016
A fall dream weaver
Work of spun art in hay room
What does your web catch?
Art Prescription: So if your web catches ease with a focus on gratitude and all the good things in your life… what do you weave? If your web catches stress and always looking for things to go wrong…what do you weave?
So like this spider who weaves her best web ever, can you expect good things to happen? Can you get away from the spider next door who says, “we won’t catch anything, it’s useless.”
Weave your web with joy and good things will come…

Expectation July 23, 2014
Looking and hoping
Wishing, expecting, dreaming
Life’s many milestones.
Art Prescription: Life is a series of milestones…pregnant, new baby, preschool, kindergarden, high school graduation, college graduation, engagement, marriage….Celebrate!
Yesterday June 8, 2014
A few days ago
And you came home with flowers
The words to tell you.
Art Prescription: Some days surprise you to no end….and you don’t forget them.
Saturday Morning March 22, 2014
Stretch, yawn, and repeat
Wake up slow, no alarm clock
Saturday morning.
Art Prescription: While for the most part I like being up early, makes the day longer, it is on occasion totally blissful to sleep-in.
Haiku May 30, 2013 Fishing
Side by side they walk
One carries pole, other net
Summertime fishing.
Art Prescription: I have many fish tales from my summers at grandma’s. Not a worry in the world, we’d head off to a relative’s pond with a tub of earth worms and a bamboo pole. Truth is the last time I went fishing was when I “hooked” my date’s head…yep I set the hook!! Now my husband, we don’t fish. We rode back to Chapel Hill, hook and line in tow, to have a physician friend excise the hook. I guess my years of summers in the country, my attempt to show – see I’m an outdoors kind-of -girl, did not make a grand impression. He married me anyways!!
Haiku May 13, 2013 Double Helix
Twirl! Double helix.
Life winds itself in and out
Meets back in middle!
Art Prescription: Final workshop today in this series of Art Prescription Art Journaling. Thanks to a great group!! That and a walk with a friend got me thinking about relationships and how they spiral in and out. Two people constantly changing and hopefully, in a marriage or partnership, they spiral back together as one for a while! Each person being whole and living life, intertwined with another. Life is grand, and oh so fun to share!!
Haiku March 21, 2013 Gentleness
Gentleness of spring
Warmth and care like summer breeze
Share it with people.
Art Prescription: A day at my nursing job always reminds me of how much I have to be thankful for! Knowing there are many things I cannot change, my hope is to deliver a moment of kindness and warmth. What do you want to be remembered for? What brings you pride and serenity?
Haiku October 3, 2012 No Kissing Allowed
No kissing allowed
He leaves, I feel forgotten
Colds are not sexy!!!!!
Art Prescription: I’m writing with a box of tissue on hand. Do you remember your first kiss? A simple cold would not keep me from attempting to share my germs with my 7th grade boyfriend. All things change. After 21 years of marriage, here I am almost 2 1/5 weeks in the guest room. The first week was me trying to not get my beloved’s cold. The next week, allowing him to sleep without waking to my persistent cough. Ain’t marriage grand!! Can I get a kiss hello? A hug?
