At the end of May the world lost a great person, a powerful woman, intellect, and humanitarian; the death of Maya Angelou was one of those events that left many of us speechless.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted here, but I have not been twiddling my thumbs.

It seems nearly impossible that it is time for East Bay Open Studios again, but that is the case.

In the last post I addressed my New Year determination to empower women with writing and coaching circles. So here is all the exciting info!

Happy New Year! We have all made it through the holidays with their inevitable highs and lows.

I’m happy to say that the Focus Group I mentioned in the earlier post did meet again, and again after that.

Did you know that The United States of America was the first country in the history of the world to mention happiness in its foundational constitutional declaration?

Recently I held a focus group to go more deeply into issues of aging and self-identity.

I want to thank all the people who came out to Open Studios.

I probably don't have to explain that time got the better of me in working on new work and preparing for the event.

Yesterday I was so frustrated with the big canvas that I painted the whole thing an off-white color and left the studio.
