Social Responsibility
Working in education, specifically with High School students, one topic we continually go over is social responsibility. This generation of students is the first to grow up not knowing “life without the internet” and/or social media. We talk about being kind online, posting responsibly so when colleges or jobs search a name there isn’t concern…
Read MoreLettering Lately
Here’s an update of a few pieces I’ve finished since getting moved in and starting painting again…as always, click here for information on lettering. Or, follow along on Facebook and Instagram! It’s hard to tell size in pic, but these are large 20″x 20″ canvas and background is lyrics to Toby Mac’s song, Speak Life…
Read MoreCity in the rear view….
Today, this post has brought back all the thoughts…. because on this day 2012, my life looked like this… which was moved into 12×12 storage for what ended up to be for 21 months…. But in these 4 years…. I’ve criss-crossed the country pulling a trailer by myself with only my dog I’ve lost my…
Read MoreWhat I’m Wearing ~ Spring Fun & Rodeo
As per usual there have been days this Spring pushing 90 degrees followed by days in the 60s. I really don’t mind weather like this because I love layers (as posted here) and even when it’s warm outside, I’m typically cold inside places. Kicked off a couple of months of a full calendar with work,…

Happy Monday! Today I’m linking up for #LetsTalkLinkUp and sharing makeup and hair products.

Read MoreWhat I’m Wearing ~ The Layers Edition
So it’s been a while for a wearing post. Somehow the moving and the unpacking and losing Barney and Rodeo all took over for a couple of months and time gets away. I haven’t been snapping pics daily like last year, but still do from time to time, usually also posted on Instagram (follow here).…
Read More#NashvilleForAfrica
This is long overdue…. I went to Nashville in February for an African Children’s Choir fundraiser at the historic Ryman auditorium. This was my 3rd trip to the Ryman, and as a country music fan, I respect this auditorium, commonly known as the church of country music. I love the history, the sound, the moments…
Read MoreThe 6’s…
….are hard I believe in transparency and being honest when really it’s not all “ok”…and as the calendar flipped from 2015 to 2016, a part of me dreaded it, the 6’s have been hard years for me, marked by significant loss. In 1996, as a sophomore in college, I lost my best friend Wendy, one…
Read MoreSettling into new space…
This time 2 years ago, I had just finished up hanging words on my walls and feeling like I was settled in after 18 months of living on the road, with family and friends and the majority of my life packed away in storage. Routine quickly followed and when I changed jobs, I was back and…
