It is funny that as we get older, we worry more about our safety. My birthday happens to land December 31st - my dad always tells me… Continue reading Welcome to 2020!

Purposeful Living Art
During a dark season in my life, I needed something to help me move towards the light and God. I was very sad and I began to lose myself in illness, pain and depression. As I thought about my life, my dreams, and my passions, I remembered how much joy I received from painting. One… Continue reading Purposeful Living Art

Change is hard when you are not ready for it. Three days ago, I received news that my Uncle Al passed… Continue reading Life Changes in an Instant
I Love You So Much
Living geographically close or far doesn't change the love we feel for one another. Family love is much stronger than miles on a GPS map.
