Even though I won awards for teaching Art, I know what it’s like to struggle with finding time to create art, because years ago, that struggle consumed my life. I know what it’s like to wake up and feel lost and filled with grief. And to lay down at night thinking about how in five years, I lost my ...

Hello Lovely!

Today is Pi Day! Not the eating kind but the math one...today's date is 3.14 !! When I was teaching in the public school system, a math teacher organized a way for all the teachers to buy a t-shirt with the symbol on it. And every year, on March 14th, we wore our shirts!

Today is Tue...

I was in the city this past week, and because of that, I had a special trip to Sephora. A while back a Sephora employee shared with me the MakeUp ForEver Eyeshadow sticks. She said that these sticks were designed with Synchronized swimmers in mind as makeup was needed in the pool for performances (a...

I love to read. I read mostly nonfiction books of well-being, art, creativity,  business, self-help, spirituality and more. I like obtaining knowledge that I can use or put into action right away. What is new to my reading world is Audible. Audible is an app that is like a 'book on tape.' Today is #...

Happy International Women's Day!! I have been blessed by women I love and women, who I don't know, but I admire their stance or beliefs. Women have made incredible strides and changes over the past 60 years in the business world, socially, and  in the family tribe.  Women in my family grew along sid...

Today on this #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques , we are seeing what artist of the present, and the past, have used to make sense of colours in their palette (it isn't this specific colour chart that they used).  Artists have used colour charts to figure out a specific colour mixed with another, or artists...

Today's #FridaysFinds has to do with a magazine. But it's not only a magazine, but a magazine specifically  for teenagers. It has teenager things and  more. Some of this issue's articles are: Frozen Out (being excluded), Defeating Doubt (Friendship insecurity), Rise And Shine (hints to getting out o...

It is a classic match up! Over the years there have been decided lines of which side a person was on. So.... are a Pepsi drinker or a CocaCola drinker....or does it not matter? I personally like Diet Pepsi, but with the regular drink, I like both: it depends on how I feel. So, how about you?

Well, well. It is March.I can't believe it; where did February go? March is here and that usually entitles a big dump of snow somewhere in this month, as Mother Nature isn't done with winter just yet! And yet, we all know when March arrives, spring is that much closer.

Today's #WednesdayWins is all...

Last day in February!! Hard to believe. Soon spring may be peeking around the corner.

Today's #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques is about collage. Collage is the act of gluing an object to another object. So for example, in the video, I had a thick tube with a cardboard bottom and handmade paper. I ripped ...

I love reading modern prose and poetry books that have to do with us, humans, and our development into our personhood. An example of this is Canada's famed poet Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey. But a few days ago, in Chapters, I found a book by Brianna Wiest named Ceremony.  The cover's title and the aut...

I hope this post finds you well. I am well but seem to be a bit forgetful! Yesterday I drove into the city to go to the dentist for a crown on my tooth. Perhaps it was my tiredness, but i forgot that this morning I had a LIVE Art & Soul Creation time, in my FaceBook group, at 10 am!! D'oh!! Thank go...
