Sharing what I create, record or marvel at in the visual realm. Stepping out of your comfort zone. July 3, 2015. I’m taking a winderful online class with Danny Gregory called “Sketchbook Skool”, which is helping me step out of that comfort zone. Here is one result. 8221; For a very important date (yes, that laundry doesn’t do it itself). And finding hidden gems of truth and life. Life is short, opportunities pass. (Oh, young friend, you will learn that time only speeds up as you get older.). Going inward...

Healing from Trauma: Embracing the Irrational. Why would John do this? Because of my own trauma history, I understood him implicitly. But a trauma specialist might be more convincing. Everything about us our brains, our minds, and our bodies is geared toward collaboration in social systems, writes Bessel van der Kolk, medical director of the Trauma Center of Boston and author of The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma. Healing can’t come from trying to reason with p...

Why I'm glad I broke my shoulder. Posted on May 27, 2016 by hmallon. I have what a friend once called clever feet. I’ve always relied on them; they turn on a dime, and they’ve never let me down. I climb, I hop, I zip around; When I’m busy I’m always busy my feet ping from one task to another. Sometimes, I actually complete something before dashing on to the next. […] Read More.

How to Deal With Obsessive Thoughts. Recently I made a fool of myself on Facebook. Or I think I did. I wrote a comment on someone’s funny post, one that I thought was really witty and would make the post-er laugh. When mine became the lone unliked comment in a sea of ‘likes’ I said, Oh, shit, and deleted it. Please note: I am not writing this to feel better, or to elicit comments about how the post-er failed to appreciate my wonderfulness. Let’s just say I was inappropriate and leave it at that. Prior to...

Sharing what I create, record or marvel at in the visual realm. What light through yonder window. Stepping out of your comfort zone →. August 18, 2014. I’ve been a little lax with keeping up my creativity sharing, but it doesn’t mean I haven’t been creative. No, sir, dishes go undone, laundry isn’t put away–all the usual as I pursue that elusive butterfly in my brain. Maybe I’ve been spending too much time on Facebook admiring everyone else’s creativity?

Sharing what I create, record or marvel at in the visual realm. The joy of cut and paste. Facebook blues →. What light through yonder window. November 18, 2013. Light reveals and transforms. I am passionate about light. Like a moth to a bulb, I am drawn to the sun’s warmth and power, sometimes searing my wings. It awakens the creativity within me and everything bathed in the glow is to me a visual masterpiece. And it made me want to do more, to pay attention to that creative side of me. Sometimes we ...
