    Here I am sitting at the desk thinking about blog building.

    Next thing I noticed was a little kitty had climbed into the chair with me. “Hi there Benny, I’m busy.”

    A tiny bite to the back and pawing on the seat cushion means someone wanted more attention.

    On Your Feet, Lose Your Seat

    Working on blog and photography is competing with Benny’s lap time.

    He knows when I’m devoting extra time that doesn’t include holding him. So he gently nudges me from my seat and honkers down on the warm chair cushion.

    Ok Benny, time for me to take a break.

    “Busy work means busy mind, the human heart needs quiet moments to catch up with where it has been.”

    When was the last time you sat quietly without any distractions, and how did it feel?

    Imagine waking to golden beauty.

    That’s what happened this morning. Existing the darken bedroom, I walked into the bright living room seeing the endless ocean view from the sliding glass walled balcony doors. What a gorgeous orange glow!

    Take a deep breath and just be!

    Morning sky filled with gold light was a dance light and joy!

    THIS WEEK I NOTICED

    New Today

    So many times I easily dismiss the “newness” of today. I fall into the trap of nothing ever changes instead of opening up to possibility of what is “new”.

    Starting fresh, starting the next breath, the next look, the next beholding… how can that not be new!

    There in lies the true story. Change my perception of what is and the experience changes with it.

    Vastness on the Horizon

    The precious moment of morning had me sitting back in my swivel chair with Benny on my lap doing nothing. How is it possible to just be?

    Another shimmering wave hits the sand, then another, leaning back I delight in the comfort that there will be yet another wave. What care do I have!

    The sunrises as waves crash on the shore

    I did not have to share the sun with anyone else and at the same time who was I denying its warmth? Neal was still a sleep, his loss, for now.

    Sunrise, Gold to share or just keep the memory in your own heart.

    Robert Smith

    I don’t plan to wake up early each day to greet the sun as it soars skyward at roughly 1,037 mph, but for now I’d like the stillness to last just a little longer.

    Yes there is plenty of sand at the beach, but you will also find bushes and snakes.

    This beauty is a Southern Black Racer, a slender, non-venomous reptile common throughout the Southeast. They are characterized by smooth black scales, large distinctive eyes, and a contrasting white chin and throat.

    I was walking along when something caught my eye. In the bushes and barely moving.

    Notice, pause then record.

    THIS WEEK I NOTICED

    An act of self-love.

    You are worthy of capture. Of celebration. Of admiration. You are worthy of being seen and witnessed. Of being looked at with awe and with joy. Just as you are, right now. 

    Here’s the thing. Self-portraiture in art is as old as time. We are proof of our own existence, our own reality, and for damn good reason. We are infinite and complex and ever changing. We are majestic and mundane. Self-portraits capture ourselves at a specific moment in time

    SS-001 — Thin gray line (light background)

    Private reflection meets public space.

    When I travel, I love finding examples of public art that has been offered for all to share. Can you find the freedom to exist in public spaces? You belong here! Have you been told that lately? Ever?

    Consider, glance inward, contemplate!

    Creative artists transform walls, buildings, atriums and invite us to share in the moments before moving on.
