Fuel the Fire Within

Well, I've been on vacation for a week and it was great for renewed energy and focus both professionally and creatively.  I spent the last weekend in my studio enjoying the creative fire from within.  And for me, that is exactly what it is a fire from within which needs to be stoked and fueled to keep it burning.  I'm getting ready for the holidays are you?  

Remember to "Make it Count"

Creatively yours,

Thrown to the Wolves or Not?

My husband keeps saying they we've thrown our daughter out to the wolves! She, our baby, started college at age 17 - she turns 18 in October!

I, however, believe that we have sent a very strong capable young women out into the world to conquer it! Yes, at times I am fearful but I know that this is part of "me" missing her!

As long as she continues to make wise choices she will be fine. On the other hand I don't believe my husband expected the "empty nest" to hit him so hard! He misses her terribly and that was not something I anticipated nor did I plan for. So for me at this point I'm focused on helping him get through it. Wish me luck!
