Making a happy birthday...

My son, Alex's birthday...about ten years ago...

his brothers, Evan and Marion smile on...

On my birthday, there seems to be a dimensional shift... Those I love and want close are far off...physically...emotionally...or psychicly... Perhaps its me. Have I pushed them all away for a day? Am I taking ultimate stock of myself and then celebrating? Yes... My birthdays are always good! I know I am deeply loved. Even in the quietness of the heaven tree, I feel all the arms holding me and eyes looking on me with love.

Happy Birthday me....!

blooming with thoughts...about work and galleries...

Now that my office/studio room is reality, my thoughts move to higher possibilities...taking on students, opening a gallery/studio, painting, painting, painting....Priorties...Priorities...

I was exploring this morning, looking at the Paulina Frances on a Google search and as always paying close attention to my web hosting service, Fine Arts Studio , to see new artists and what they have created for their web pages. We can learn so much from each other. Today's jewel is the Mayr Gallery, so wonderful and worth a look...

Also, you may notice, I am getting the hang of html...proudly...it gives me a bigger voice and a chance to make it easier for my readers to find and explore what I'm talking about here.

Looking straight at me...

Tomorrow is my birthday. A few days ago, before the storms..my son, Evan, noticed this cicada trying to work her way out of her old skin. That is how I feel everyday. I am working my way out of this old skin and becoming a new entity... I am becoming the "real" me. The "should be" skin is peeling away to reveal my potential self...an actualized person. I feel indestructible and very powerful! I was happy to have a chance to experience this little insect's metamorphosis... I learned much about myself by watching her rebirth. She looked straight into my eyes as if she were wiser than I am...hmmm?
