The term friendship, like love, has myriad definitions. My neighbor is my friend, although we only wave politely and engage in small talk and banter as we haul in our trash cans. My sister is my friend, although we live far apart and have little in common. My fellow artists in the guild are my [...]

Positive or Negative, It’s All About Energy
This is a true story I wrote last evening about the effects of the energy each of us contributes ongoingly to everything and everyone around us, whether we’re aware of it or not. Positive or negative, each of us does make a difference in how well (or not) the planet continues to evolve. I’d love [...]
Ranting about the Power of Advertising
I’ve decided I’m not going to watch tv any longer, but that has nothing to do with the subject of this rant; stupid, stupid advertisements!

However, this caricature, Zanny, has magically taken on a life of her own! She’s now a line of notecards addressing many of the issues of the [...]
Ranting About Creativity and Stuff
I say this rant is about creativity, and in many ways, it is. But it’s about more than that too.
Sure, it’s often nice to own lots of stuff. I used to, but don’t so much any longer. Since becoming an empty-nester, I find I require little “stuff” to make me happy and that, in fact, [...]
Today’s Rant: The Art of Conversation
I love hearing from my friends and family, really I do. And in our conversations, I attempt to do more listening than talking, although I’m not always successful. (Oh wait…….I have a rant to post about that subject….attempting! I’ll post that one next.)
As much as I enjoy hearing from everyone, it always cracks me up when [...]
