Encaustics

So this is the beginning. Here are my first 2 encaustics. I'm selling them to raise money for the series I will be starting soon.

morning thought

From my grandmothers journal, a quote from John W. Gardner in the book Recovery of Confidence

"Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure, and separates the victim from reality."

Another book

Just finished this one. A short read. Beautiful words. Deeply thoughtful. I'd say more but I'm tired. Perhaps a quote tomorrow.

found.

Currently my favorite corner of the house is this...

Ryan found this light globe on the side of the street and knowing that I've wanted one for a long time he jumped out and grabbed it. It now sits in the corner by the couch on some old suitcases of my great-grandmothers given to me by my parents. Love it.

a good start

So I just picked up Tolkiens "The Hobbit" last week and finished it this afternoon. I first read it about 10 years ago. Such a good read. It was wonderful for me to start the year with something fun and a bit magical and to read it so quickly, much to my astonishment! So, I want to spend more time reading this year and less time watching filler TV (although some of that will just happen, and I'm ok with that too). Now on to something else.

the other day.

A wonderful birthday with the man I love, 2 great boys and really great friends.
