I woke up much happier today, I think I needed a good moan, plus a back up plan.

It's a gorgeous morning, I shall be knitting in the garden 🌱

It’s been 3,174 days since I escaped corporate life. I was 44. My children were tiny. Now they're teenagers.

Today I turn 53, and we are infinitely happier here, in our farmhouse by the ocean. No more meetings. No more commute.

If I can escape, you can too (because I'm a dumbass). #Life #Art

this is my quiet time

watching dawn
rise

a sacred space
few will know

it feeds my soul
with its glow

amphitrite's grace

the softest touch
can awaken the deepest ocean blue
we obey the currents
we ride the undertow
drown with me
in love
fathomless.

Sunlight glistens
On a droplet
Adorning a pink petal
I catch it
For just a #moment
And yet
All of eternity
Is laid out before me

Sunrise on Whitley Bay beach in the UK.

Sunrise on Whitley Bay beach in the UK.

Golden mist on the morning tide.
Whispers where the sea dreams hide.
Stone and sand in a hush remain.
Bathed in the sun’s soft amber flame.
Broken posts stand in place.
Peace walks here with quiet grace.

In the Arabian Nights, travelers pitch tents in the desert under a canopy of stars, telling tales to pass the time and survive the night. Storytelling and camping are kin; both stretch across the unknown with hope and wonder. #FairyTaleTuesday

A view of an ornate ceiling and two pigeons looking a the photographer.  Caption reads: The photographer was lying on the ground, trying to shoot this ceiling. The pigeons were concerned.

An illustration of a woman painting in the outdoors. She’s surrounded by deer as she paints on her canvas. We see a large tree framing the composition and two deer resting on the ground surrounded by flowers.
