Writing, Photography and Music. I live and breathe these things. I also love people, (Yes you. Well, not so much you as what you stand for) The pigeons outside my bedroom window, braunschweiger with pub cheese on wheat thins and a Clementine Izze, My friends at Eldergarden, photography, the geese and ducks at Glenmere Park, Dee-Dee, mindfulness excercises, DBT skills, Thursdays, rain, John Lennon, guitar, Granberta, spuds, laughing my ass off, inari, tea, orchids, memoirs, NetFlix, real-live like movie theatres, getting my hair washed at the salon, incense, getting better at pool, cartoons, Walter and Perry, my pet artists, feeding people, when people's houses smell like toast, eating fancy toast, making toasts, being a painter's apprentice, soccer players, making giggle face and many other things that strike my fancy from time to time. Thanks for stopping by.
Anyone who will let me take their picture. The people who I miss and are away from me. Someone who can make a meringue. Anyone who is up for a (sub)mission. Someone who enjoys the crusty cheese on the side of the lasagna pan and/or has that same craving to eat all the toppings off the pizza after everyone has had a piece. An Indian Leg Wrestling partner. People who are interesting.
It rules my life. Hard.

This would be my mother and John Lennon. My Mom has the amazing ability to pull herself up by the bootstraps and do what needs to be done. The things she has taught me have been immeasurable. I love you Mom
