Drawn by a Star

Gratitude.  not the bathroom window, but thank you Pinterest, a very lovely pic ! I’m starting today with deep gratitude for the new view I have when brushing my teeth.   Gorgeous wisteria hangs abundantly from the long   covered walkway, just a few feet away from the wash basin. As the crow flies, only a mile or so away, young mountains tower behind exotic plants. This spring garden is growing lush again with love and attention.   Everything is in a process of change.   Wobbly legs have brought me to my toothbrush. I'm still waiting for the hip operation.  Hot lemon and honey   are waiting in the new kitchen.   I’ve moved house.   Well, moved next door ! Today is like… another new beginning.

http://www.blurb.com/books/6964206-quiet-thoughts-mend-the-body-drawings-photos-words Hola amigos, I really wanted to share my new blurb book with you but can't get the link to go live.  So you need to copy and paste the line above if you'd like to see the pics. The images' are mostly pieces I've made at the Wedensday  - Passionarte   group - in Orgiva, led by the  truly inspiring Pernille, whose ideas on playing with materials are completely wonderful and boundless. For me, making books with blurb is always an act of joy and celebration !  I hope you enjoy this one. Blurb books are easy to make, honestly!  Anybody can make one. This book is  dedicated to Bridie, Rebeka and Maria T, three young women who enrich my life more than they will ever know. Quiet thoughts can  be healing,  I really believe this.    Hasta lluego And Namaste.

  Instructions for living a Life. ‘Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.’ ¬-Mary Oliver dreaming about my new studio.  Photo thanks to Pinterest. a digital drawing  I made 16 years ago ! so love brushes... So love smiles - any age... sound bowls... mysterious  whirling ...which reminds me... I am deeply touched by the response of many, many friends to my news! Thank  you all so much. I will never forget the oncologists words:  ‘Todo bien.’  For the third time, ‘todo bien!’ All clear.  Everything's fine. It's a miracle. There was a stage early on in this challenge when I though I wasn’t going to make it. I seemed to have lost every ounce of life energy. I wanted quietly to give up.   A friend said, if you want to go Meg, I will support you, but don’t go defeated by this illness. I’m especially grateful for  friends brave enough to challenge me. Little by little, apart...
