One Human Soul

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and the worst of us, and who love us in spite of all our faults. ~Charles Kingsley~ Read more →

Follow Your Bliss

I couldn't summon the enthusiasm yesterday to do much more than snuggle in my recliner with a good book; not even my studio's siren call was strong enough to entice me. I think heavy April snowfalls are just inherently enervating. I decided instead to play with the Paper 53 app on my iPad to see if I could come up with a quote journal page I liked. It's not quite the same as messing around... Read more →
