So I totally watched the A-Team movie tonight and loved it! I used to watch the A-Team TV show with my parents as a kid. It was so fun to watch something with that similar vibe. It wasn’t so serious. I feel like all the movies that come out lately are so serious, even theContinue reading “Latest Movie”

Divine Inspiration
“Leonardo da Vinci wrote in his Notebooks: “It should not be hard for you to stop sometimes and look into the stains of walls, or ashes of a fire, or clouds, or mud or like places in which … you may find really marvelous ideas.” ― C.G. Jung, Man and His Symbols Inspiration is out there. I’m saying thisContinue reading “Divine Inspiration”
The Writer’s Job
“Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.” -Khalil Gibran My immediate reaction to this quote is that this isn’t easy. It almost hurts my brain to think about writing in this way. Francis Bacon says something similar. “The job of the artist is always to deepenContinue reading “The Writer’s Job”
Change
“There is nothing permanent except change.” -Heraclitus If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that things change. Some things need to be manually evolved and adapted. Some things, like nature, evolve and adapt on their own. We get the gift of learning to see the beauty in all the ways things change.Continue reading “Change”

Many creatives have little fidgets and toys in their workspace. Now that all those mini collectibles are everywhere, it’s easy to gather all the toys you need to keep theContinue reading “Creatives Have Toys, You Can Too”
Lose Yourself
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” – Thomas Merton I used to feel like I needed this for art. This is definitely not my intention as a writer, but I could see how it could happen unintentionally. I don’t know how I feel about the idea of losingContinue reading “Lose Yourself”

“Artistic expression is an avenue through which we can communicate our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. It allows us to transcend the limitations of language and connect with others on a deeper, more profound level.” -hovaveart.com This is why I write. This is why I create anything at all. I get jumbled up in my words a lot,Continue reading “Writing and Artists My Liberators”
Art of Life
“The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us.” — Gloria Steinem I’m not sure how I feel about this. I love the idea of relinquishing control while following my dreams. At the same time, I also appreciate the notion that I’m choosing the boring life, and ifContinue reading “Art of Life”
TGIF!
Books are a uniquely portable magic.” — Stephen King TGIF! I’m looking forward to this weekend. I’m getting ready for my next read. I just chatted with another mama who is into Fantasy Romance, so I think I’m going to give that a shot. If anyone has any good Fantasy Romance ideas, please leave themContinue reading “TGIF!”
