Five Things

Absorbing ~ The Brain That Changes Itself by Dr Norman Doidge and Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You by Marcus Chown - plenty to get my head around, it's fascinating stuff and I love it!

Standing On My Head ~ I'm back on the yoga mat after a six month break - I know, I know! I have been craving balance and the core of physical & mental strength that yoga gives you.

Listening ~ to my i-tunes playlist on shuffle ... now playing...

Creating ~ A triptych, that has to be honest, stalled, while I concentrate on fighting off a miserable winter cold.

Browsing ~ I've not been posting much, but I have been reading plenty ... take a look here, here and here

Lunch at the Bay

The days have been grey and rainy here and my four walls have been closing in on me. I'm in the middle of a painting, another triptych. It has a long way to go and I am tossing around ideas of colourful detail that I would like to add. One step at a time though, you can't rush these things.


To help clear my head I visited this little bay area and found a blue boat, a little turqouise cottage with an inviting adirondack chair on the veranda and a vibrant pink bougainvillea - a flower I claim as my signature bloom - If you leave it alone to grow and pay it little attention, it will produce bright, showy flowers and smooth stems. When you prune it hard, it doesn't flower much at all and develops nasty big thorns.


I had to stop for lunch - a savory tart with salad & coffee at a very cosy cafe. I walked along the waterfront looking at all the holiday cottages, thinking how lucky I am to live in this beautiful area.

Moon Talk

The moon was full and magnified emotion.

I am the luckiest woman alive!

There is so much to be grateful for...

I give my thanks....

For miracles....

Thank you for listening.
