Resurfacing amid big life swirls. How's the #creative journey?
I'm relocating to the #UpperValley of #WesternMass! Landing me in #Greenfield / #TurnerFalls.
Here's to #LivingAdventurously and to keeping an #OpenHeart in #TurbulentTimes. Plus sweet sojourns to the #art haven of #MASSMoCA!
#Creativity is a choice! Keep on, fellow #creatives -- #artists, #poets, #performers 💜.

Hope
Amidst all the ugliness & hate & horror….there are people in this world that help all they encounter to realize there is good in the world, they show that people can be much much more….& they inspire us to try to become the better version of ourselves. Open your heart & eyes, they are all around us.

Expanded silver gouache from lower background to all the background. Also drew a large owl in the left upper segment. Donuts along bottom portion. Owlets sitting along a branch in the middle and at the edge of a tree hole.
This stage shows the painted frame: a thorny vine (brown), sparsely leafed (green). This is a 3rd piece in a whimsy series featuring owls, donuts, & trees.
Small #strides in #creative life, apace with full-time #caregiving. Current #whimsy piece: graphite (drawing), watercolor pencils (mostly used), & gouache (least used). Steps detailed in ALT text.
#BskyArt. #MixedMedia on #Paper.
#Art for everyone 💯❤️
Last week's travel for my #LiveIn parent fared well. Only select moments felt #MidwestGothic, as certain family maintains certain cycles.
#Grateful for #recovery "away" from #trauma reactions, & for #sobriety with mindful responses to difficult dynamics.
Here's to #living & #overcoming. ✨

You don't have to explain yourself or say you're sorry that you can't do something. You can simply say “no.”

Traveling in the #Midwest (#Ohio) of #USA. My mom turns 76 tomorrow, & exceptionally will spend it with her grandkids. She's rocking her #walker & faring well despite late-day challenges. Everyday victories for #PLWD / #PeopleLivingWithDementia & #caregivers = humans #BeingHumans.
I like your stuff.

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.
Success & safety to joiners for #April19, continuation of #HandsOff!! 🙌🏽🤞🏽🙏🏽🌟
My way, it's a weekend of #ElderCare with travel. Time for an MRI "round two" with ongoing #assessment. Seemingly, pin the tail & spin the #dementia wheel.
You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure.
Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.
Earliest stage with graphite drawing & some watercolor pencil.
Step 2 photo: with wetted watercolor pencil over graphite drawing, & some gouache (lower section, select donuts).
A 3rd piece in-progress from a new series of #whimsy featuring #Owls, #donuts, & #trees.

#Gratitude. #Joy. Inner #Beauty.
Goal is 50 quips, in this my year of #Age50. We've got a starter so far.
Some inspiration for celebration:
#recovery, #sobriety,
#art for living,
#faith #community,
#nature & the #cosmos.
Thank you Senator Van Hollen
Churches Together in England have written to Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley calling for a meeting to discuss the police raid on Westminster Quaker Meeting House on 27 March. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...
I still am grateful, as of February I made it to #Age50 / #The50.
And I'd love for 50 #gratitudes , #joys, & "quips" of #InnerBeauty be shared/ generated here.
Fyi #SoberSky, #BskyArt, & #Quaker peeps.

Arrgghhh.
Still masking in 2025? Absolutely.
Because unlike “good vibes,” N95s actually filter viruses. A quick 🧵 on why I haven’t retired my mask (and neither should you)
