Strike Me Beautiful

Strike Me Beautiful is my newest idea of driving around the county and painting scenes that just absolutely strike me beautiful.

I have been in a painters block lately (much akin to a writers block) and it might be just the trick to jump start me again. I love to paint and I love a good workout but sometimes some kind of something sets me in a pattern of doing neither for weeks.

So Strike Me Beautiful!

40 Day Challenge

I didn't sign up for the 40 day challenge at the Beyond Limits Yoga as my days are unpredictable with tax season but I am taking the 40 day challenge non-the-less. I started yesterday with diet, exercise, journaling, meditation. My theme is transformation.

Move On The Near Horizon

I think I found a new place to live. It's a bit of a drive but its a house with a beautiful yard and sits right on the lake. It's peaceful and quiet, like a retreat. I know I can go "home" after work, eat healthy food and work non-stop on all the children books I have in my head and series of small paintings. I can continue to paint my large work at the studio space downtown. I am getting quite excited about it.

Last Years Corn, This Years Seed

Growing organic, (heirloom seed when we can). We collected our own seeds from last years crop. We are adding a few more varieties like Fava Beans for this years crop. Pesto, salsa, dips, apple sauce, blueberry jams ... I am already planning for the harvest.

Daring Sugar

Daring sugar. I am not sure what that means but I like that phrase.

40 Day Challenge

I am signing up to do the 40 day challenge at Beyond Limits Yoga.

Idea

Here's an idea: write an epic but really cool story of a life of a woman from teen angst to wise old coot and everything in between. Not an original idea but ...it's wide open!
