Although I have not weeded my garden for the past 2 years, these lovely ladies keep bursting through the tangles to show me the strength of their beauty. “Fear not” they say, “we will keep growing strong even in the absence of your loving care. The weeds will not distract us from our purpose and…
Do you think of New Hampshire as a cold place? Much of the year it is, but this week temperatures reached 103 F. It seems like the colder the winter is the hotter the following summer will be, at least for a week or so. Weather in NH can be unpredictable and uncomfortable. No sympathy?…
Show love to all creatures and thou wilt be happy; for when thou lovest all things, thou lovest the Lord, for He is in all.
Yes I’ve been dealing with the messiness of my life lately. Being creative is often very messy, but life is messy anyway. It’s okay as long as you’re getting somewhere, learning something, improving something, or at least making an effort to deal with the mess.

I’m grateful for my parents who were always there for me. I’m grateful for so many lovely memories that got me through the hard times.

“Be a good human being, a warm hearted affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief. Having a sense of caring, a feeling of compassion will bring happiness or peace of mind to oneself and automatically create a positive atmosphere.” Dalai Lama, 1935
Beautiful paper, practical use, fun to make, fun to share, a unique craft.
Breathing, being, feeling, the warm sunshine, the cool shade. Smell the grass, the water, the flowers. I’m grateful that I’m here.
One evening last summer I went to the beach with my camera looking for some unusual scenery. I hadn’t been to the beach for a long time. We don’t have a lot of beach in NH and since I’m from Florida originally, and have traveled to more exotic beaches as well, the beach here has…
