http://marthaslavin.blogspot.com/2016/11/measure-your-life.html
Postcards in the Air. Art and Thoughts on the Wing. Friday, November 25, 2016. The Mindful Life Project, a great name for a small start-up non-profit founded by JG Larochette, a 3rd -grade teacher in Richmond, CA. Salute e Vita, a restaurant in Richmond, run by Menbere Akilu, an immigrant from Ethiopia. What do these two have in common? We spent last Friday night at an event for the Mindful Life Project, and had a delicious dinner beforehand at Salute e Vita. But that is not what these two have in common.

Postcards in the Air : January 2017
http://marthaslavin.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Postcards in the Air. Art and Thoughts on the Wing. Friday, January 27, 2017. Yellow: my favorite color. Bright, cheery, light-filled, the color of the sun. I needed to find yellow this week. As an artist, I use the color wheel to make colors shine. Yellow, by itself, can be soft and comforting. I add yellow's analogous colors - green and orange - around yellow to make yellow more varied. What are you doing this week to step out of your comfort zone? Friday, January 20, 2017. Tomorrow is a big day. Image...

Postcards in the Air. Art and Thoughts on the Wing. Friday, September 30, 2016. Gus is one of my many nicknames. Bill has not been afraid to put aside all of his business acumen to take on the challenge of photography. He takes photos with the same single-mindedness as he does with all of his activities. And the proof you will find in these photos of birds. Enjoy his photos. Let me know what you think of them! Friday, September 23, 2016. Here's the advice I wasn't going to give (from last week's blog):.

Postcards in the Air. Art and Thoughts on the Wing. Friday, August 26, 2016. DO YOU STILL USE A PENCIL? One of these days a pencil will be an object of curiosity in a museum somewhere. These are my two favorite kinds of pencils. If you visit an art school, you will walk into rooms filled with computers with students creating magical designs using various design apps. You will be hard pressed to find a pencil except at the instructor's desk. The first sketch to lay in the background. All of this could als...

On Retreat - A Slice of Life
http://lindahoye.com/on-retreat
A Slice of Life. A Life of Gratitude. This post was first published at Story Circle Network’s One Woman’s Day. Once a year my husband goes on a salmon fishing trip with a few of his friends. It’s as much of a pleasure for me as it is for him. While he looks forward to fishing and fellowship, and anticipates the salmon, halibut, and crab he’ll bring home, I look forward to time at home replenishing my soul with silence, simplicity, and solitude.

Postcards in the Air. Art and Thoughts on the Wing. Friday, December 30, 2016. WHAT I COULD HAVE SAID. Images by Bill Slavin. Have you ever had one of those moments when you are in the spotlight? You say something, then later you remember all the really pithy ideas you could have expressed? Don't you sound brilliant in your own mind? Another panelist, an editor and writing coach, suggested that she focus on developing her characters. If she had an antagonist, write about that character. Put the c...Later...

http://marthaslavin.blogspot.com/2016/12/burning-bras.html
Postcards in the Air. Art and Thoughts on the Wing. Friday, December 9, 2016. Twenty of us sat in Maidenform's headquarters in New York City. We came to preview the new season's underwear that Maidenform designers offered. The designers stood in front of us waiting for their expected praise. What we gave them instead was "We don't want to wear girdles and bras like that. Too tight, too pointy, too stiff, too hard to get into.". 1969 Teen Lingerie Ad,. Lovable Lace Mates Undergarments.
