Art & Inspiration For Your Life
Welcome to the Party! This year, I wanted to share the experience of creating a New Year’s Vision Board with friends near and far. I have asked a few of my friends who live around the country to share some inspiration with you. Some will be sharing today and others have volunteered for...
A Party Invitation For You: Creating 2014 I have created a personal tradition for myself to create a Vision Board at the beginning of every year.

A baffling and perverting carnal mesh Binds...
I have always enjoyed showing this painting in different venues. Every time I do, I get to hear different interpretations of what “Follow Me Through the Woods” means to viewers. It seems to evoke strong emotional responses from people. Very rarely are people neutral on this particular image. Some find it comforting and...
It has been so long since I have last written a blog post that I actually forgot my password. That’s a first. Since my last post, my family and I have relocated to Lee’s Summit, Missouri. It has been a busy time filled with many unexpected twists and turns – as most moves...
It’s official, I am off to Unity Institute to pursue a Master of Divinity degree. My family and I are in the process of packing our home in North Carolina and moving to Missouri. I have entered the Master of Divinity program because it is my heart’s desire to learn, to grow and to...
