I adore the period in our cultural and creative history cultivated between the 1880s and the 1950s, particularly the Aesthetic movement, Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau movement, and early Art Deco movement. I have a deep appreciation for the arts, design styles, architecture, fashion, music and all creative modalities that emerged within this magical segment in time. I love to write, dance, paint, and embrace the creative process in general. This blog is my attempt at merging my chosen forms of self expression with the beauty of the present moment, and the beauty of the past. All work is written or created by me unless cited as otherwise, and protected under copyright law. Bon voyage et bonne chance!

Nelson Mandela July 18th, 1918 – December 5th, 2013

"We can change the world and make it a better place.  It is in your hands to make a difference."



Thank you for your courage, your wisdom, your strength and conviction.  Thank you for your humanity, your perfect imperfection, and the example you set for our world.  Thank you for your brilliant light.  May it shine all the more from the other side and continue to guide us in finding balance, compassion, and equality.  Rest in peace Nelson Mandela, you will be missed.

Tapestry




Comes morning now
On bended knee
Bearing unexpected gifts.
Silky velvet threads
Meander lazily
Illuminating
Warm maple floors.

Comes morning now
Spilling
Fluttering
Invitations
Beckoning the dust to dance
Rejoice
Celebrate
This finely woven tapestry
A lifetime in one moment.

You

You
Amaze me.
Your strength, your heart
Humbles me
Elevates me
Inspires me.
You
Leave me speechless
And filled with love.
You
Lay joy at my feet
And breathe laughter into my smile.
You
Are who I desire
And
Who I admire.
You
Are truly a gift
Manna from Heaven.
You 
Are my beloved
Forever.


For my wonderful husband.  Thank you for falling from the sky and landing on my big purple sofa!
