Dreaming, believing, and making things happen. I love people, teaching, and sharing with words, images, and music.

The snow in sweet home Chicago. (just for a few days...)
woman standing, all bundled up, in a very snowy landscape. Her arms are outstretched with thumbs up- she is about to make a snow angel. Smiling... and blue sky above.

Unless you know me, you will never know the significance of this photo. I’ll call it- me chilling on my sofa. Honestly, it’s monumental.
Smiling woman sitting on a peach sofa, typing on her laptop (on mastodon or Pixelfed of course!) she’s draped in a hand-crocheted ‘Afghan’ blanket made by her grandmother and her daughter’s art hangs above her - a beautiful blue painting of orange figures swimming or flying in a circle.

Since I’m still unwell, at least I can share a festive image… here’s to a friendly fun fantastic evening, and to writing your own soundtrack to life. Happy Halloween! (Yes, I gave pointed instructions for AI to make this) #Halloween #cello
Image of a cello with wood that is the texture of a pumpkin, and glowing jack-o-lantern eyes in the top of the cello body. The glowing mouth is just below the bridge of the cello and there is a ghostly bow next to the cello. The cello is standing upright on an open spell book, and there are mini pumpkin candles on a hard wood floor, with their glowing reflections in the grain of the wood. There is a night sky background showing the Milky Way galaxy, and there are some floating mini pumpkin candles in the air. It is a friendly cello!

I would very much wear this rose if it were a dress. Looks just like either a Quinceañera or a Disney princess dress!

The bluebells... an indulgent selfie. I love walking in the bluebell woods and I propped my phone on the ground and hit the 10 second timer. ...and it was fun to do !
woman almost sitting (in a pretty way) near the ground in the woods, with bluebell flowers all around her and tall trunked trees in the background. She is smiling and her medium long red-brown hair is looking pleasant. She's wearing a burgundy long sleeved top and jeans.
