Though you do not seek the innocent yourself, the innocent seek you. The first augury informs, the second and third muddle. Muddling is not informative. It is advantageous to be correct.

Empowered By The Goddesses
Last night can't be undone. Magic happened to this scraping-by artist. Months of anxious planning and preparation, interrupted by life and health events, and here it was: my poetry exhibit. Performed beautifully by goddesses of their own caliber, embodying influential archetypes much needed in this post-election week. We gathered to share, we're not scared. When … Continue reading Empowered By The Goddesses
A Creative Place
Here we are, the first week of November. It's still in the 80s here in Florida, with a tease of a cold front moving in this weekend. The Living Goddess Exhibit is turning into an exquisite piece of art, thanks to the collaborative effort of all artists involved. I'm really proud of this event, and … Continue reading A Creative Place
My Upcoming Gig
Be proud of me. This is my 1st event flyer of 2016, and it's August. This represents a huge sigh of relief. A difficult start I had this year, but I'm proud I was able to recover within the 12 months. It's the Ishtar in me, I suppose. Can't keep a woman down too long! … Continue reading My Upcoming Gig
On Self-Deprecation
I am in a mood. I'm gonna compose some letters. Not going to mail them, just let the words flow cathartic. I'll print them on lovely stationary, then burn them, after I cross and cover names. Yep. I'm in that kind of mood. I'll start my drafts here for your amusement. To accompany, a … Continue reading On Self-Deprecation

The Freedom to Write
I have a writer's callous. Very few people in the 21st century maintain a writer's callous, the telltale indentation on your dominant hand where you normally rest a pen. Composition after composition, frustrated hand and head viciously working together against time, all the answers having to come out of your tired phalanges. And yet, even … Continue reading The Freedom to Write
The Heat Is On
My hornets are thirsty. I can tell this morning as the long legged, wide winged, red boy who lives in the nest in the upper join of our front door hovers in front of the A/C unit, waiting for the fan to spit up the condensation building up from our constant usage. Yep, it's that … Continue reading The Heat Is On
The Notebook
I thought the pile of administrative trash was a touch too heavy... An interesting habit of mine when I'm in the hospital is to collect magazine pages. It seems I had ripped apart an Italian Vogue magazine in this bundle before me, the bundle I've been avoiding since I came home March 16th. It is … Continue reading The Notebook
Exploring the Divine Feminine
Today is one of those, 'the mind is flying, but the body's too weak to react' days. So I do what anyone in the bed at 3pm does...look up ideas for a gallery wall! Remember last year about this time, I was talking about designing a throne room, and how successful that came out? I … Continue reading Exploring the Divine Feminine
