First Things First!

Let’s have a morning cup of Coffee together.

As I read through the end of the year report that WordPress has put together for each of us, I wanted to stop and thank WP  for their wonderful support.  I have learned so much, and grown far more than I expected.  This by no means suggests that I’m finished.   I’m just getting started!  You’re never too old to learn and as long as you’re learning, you’re growing.

I also want to thank my fellow bloggers for supporting me in my journey to become a better blogger, and all that goes with it.  At times it has been challenging, and sometimes a breeze, but I have never forgotten that all of you are what helps to make me who I am, and will become.

Our Mela Luka trees after our big storm. We lost a big limb, & had to cut many off.

I wish for us all to have a more prosperous year of blogging, and growing in an endeavor to meet our own personal goals.

We should all get an award for showing up, and trying!  So in this new year, I hope to get to know many of you better, stay friends with those of you I’ve gotten close to,  help each other meet our goals,  and continue creating with wild abundance!

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as News 5.0, Money 3.0 and Cricket 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate

Dear Desperate:

First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

May we suggest that you enter the following commands:

  • ithoughtyoulovedme.html
  • try to download Tears 6.2
  • install the latest Guilt 3.0 update.

Husband 1.0…

Thursdays Time Out For Art…

Copper on a 6"X6" canvas

For a long while I was into aging everything in sight.  I love the look of Copper once it has turned to green, and everything I could get my hands on seemed to have a green patina.

This little painting I gave to my daughter-in-law for Christmas a couple of years ago.  She spends some of her time Running, working out, and practicing Yoga.   The symbol is copper, that I worked so hard to get just the right patina on.  The figure was foil which I painted.  This was truly art from the heart.

This little piece I created along with three or four others with the same tribal motif for my daughter, and her husband for the same Christmas.

That Christmas was a Christmas of art!  I don’t usually give away my art,  because the family & friends that may be recipients often have different ideas about their kind of  art, and then feel obligated to hang my pieces somewhere in their homes.  They don’t want to hurt my feelings, I don’t want my feelings to be hurt,  and  if your family can’t support you, who can……

My art sisters however, all love art for the sake of the creative process, and I can count on them to love whatever I create, and share!  Each year at Christmas the five of us draw names, and create something special for whoever’s name I have drawn.  Each month we always have a wonderful Diva day together, but Christmas is particularly special because each of us gets to take home a gift of true love for one another, and the creative process!

I feel truly blessed to have my art sisters, and my art friends.  Their creative energy is amazing!

My creative process has been inspired lately in part by Zebra Designs & Destinations.  I hope you will check out a different kind of art from Zebra, and maybe you to will be inspired.
