A shot in the arm.

I think my photography will be getting a shot in the arm. It has been so difficult to get myself involved in my photography in any way lately. I received a call from the A. E. Backus Gallery in Fort Pierce, FL today and they want me to show my work in the Holiday exhibit... November 25th - January 2nd. There will be artists displaying 12-15 different mediums... from oils, pottery, to photography (me). Because of the large number of artists... I will not have to prepare as many photographs to han… Continue

The Edge of Life

Some times I think we go through life... just looking at the surface of events, feelings and even people. We don't put out the effort to go deeper, to learn more about a person or event. "I don't have the time!" is our excuse. That person may have been the one with the opportunity… Continue

Special Preparation Before Writing.

This crazy world makes it hard to become focused. I do not see how young mothers can manage to do so with young children. I had a friend who would lock herself in the bedroom... with her children at the door, despite saying.. this is my time!! My concentration or lack of it I could probable blame on the fact I am a Senior Citizen, but I feel that is just a cop-out. So, I try meditation in various forms. I have either a note pad or a voice recorder, handy for walks or sudden inspirations. I cann… Continue

Types of Books I Have Read over Time

I know I mentioned mysteries, but in a complete contrast... I love philosophical books, by spiritual writers. I have read most of Thomas Merton, some Henri Nouwen. Later in life I read books by Eknath Easwaran, Nancy Wilson Ross, Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh. I read about finding Peace in a troubled world. It all has helped me find peace within. There were more, individual authors here and there. For a good number of years I practiced yoga and more recently Qigong. Both of these help to align no… Continue

Obstacles to Writing

My obstacles are mainly computer related. First, my original 'story' was on a different computer, That computer died! How could it do that to me? I never spoke unkindly toward it. I always treated it with care, following directions for nurturing and all. It died anyway. I almost thought that I recovered my lost data when I removed the innards from my old computer and with a 'Swiss Army' type of universal adapter was able to hook the drives up to an older computer. But, alas, that attempt also fa… Continue

Writing

Writing is something that I never thought I would be interested in. Yet, over the years various people have commented about my way with words... how I express my thoughts. Slowly several ideas have begun to emerge and are now coming into being. Book Blogs looks like just the place to learn more about what I am trying to do, the steps needed to get from A-Z. I suffered a big set back in my writing venture, when my computer died... as well as the unit that could read my removable back-up disk als… Continue
