Art Inspiration
An artist friend and I met at the Weisman Art Museum for a little fun, and we left with a lot of inspiration. Where do you like to go for artist dates? It doesn't have to be a museum. Heck, it could be a thrift store, a flower garden or even your favorite coffee spot....
One Drawer
"I'm so happy when I open my sock drawer!," said my client after we'd begun the promising challenge of tackling her closet. It all starts with her desire to get organized, but how do you really get started? Try one drawer. She and I have teamed up for several sessions...
Upgraded Change
How long have I been desiring a new updated website? Talking about it, imagining it, knowing it was very needed hasn't been enough to get it done. Until now! I'm so very grateful to Mari Pfeiffer for her web design and writing talents that she brought to this project....
Walking Together
Ten beautiful creatives in one selfie! Together we are venturing through one of Julia Cameron's books that I find particularly helpful for practicing artists entitled Walking in This World. Let me tell you a little about the stories that unfold. Each woman brings her...
Dream Launch
What a beautiful evening with new friends, gathering near Lake Phalen where our dreams crafted onto paper lanterns set sail at dusk. How do you launch your dreams? Speaking what we hope for aloud with friends listening, writing them into words may seem the obvious...

Out Only?
Funny how the city painted this on the street curbside in front of my house! When it comes to spirit, is it really "out only"? The sidewalk in front of my house needed to come out because the tree roots had made it uneven. Rather than have it simply moved over, where...
Labyrinth Moves
One of the many qualities I love about a labyrinth is the experience it give of the whole. It's a tricky talent to hold the big picture and take the singular steps of life, but this configuration offers a neat pattern. Oh, if it were so easy! Nonetheless, its visceral...
Jester Joy
Lifting spirits along the May Day Parade route, creative souls walked tall in the streets. How must it feel to move and wave and smile from inside one's creative expression? Creative fire on stilts this time! No, our creativity isn't always part of a public fest, but...
