Dr Appointments, Diet, Mania

I went to the GI doctor today. He thinks, based on imaging that was done on me when I was in the hospital, that there might be something wrong with my liver. I have to get an MRI soon. Hopefully it's nothing. I also have other problems they found, but I likely won't have surgery … Continue reading Dr Appointments, Diet, Mania

Lovely Day!

This morning, my husband took our daughter to swimming and let me sleep in. Then we went to the local library and got library cards! I didn't have anything in particular in mind when I walked in, but I walked out with 8 books! From embroidery to biography to sociology, the books span many subjects. … Continue reading Lovely Day!

I would consider myself a Victorian housewife more than a 50s housewife, and I am always interested in … Continue reading Books, Studying, Panama

His notion that ethics and religion do not go hand in hand, but are opposed to each other is a captivating idea. I also completed a documentary series on the early queens of England. This morning … Continue reading Kierkegaard, Queens, Painting

Digital Art Journaling

Using gradients, public domain photos, my photos, textures, light leaks, texts, cut outs, and digital scrapbooking paper, I have spent the afternoon art journaling on my phone. It feels so good! It's very enriching and cathartic. Welcome to my creative space, where I strive to reap the therapeutic benefits of art. Making these art journal … Continue reading Digital Art Journaling

Education Without Returning to College

I've recently been looking at the photography program at a good online art school. I'm just not sure I want to give up my freedom. Right now I can spend my time reading the books I want to read and doing the creative projects I want to do. I already have an undergrad degree, and … Continue reading Education Without Returning to College
