THE ALTERNATE STUDIO

"Winter will take some patience." That's what I said on a short Facebook video this morning after waking up to 35F in Central Florida.

Today I am working in my tiny bedroom as the studio is a large open space and hard to heat. I am diggin the sunshine too. It is a good time to work on garden froo froo and not outside digging. Last year I painted some cinder blocks in a Moroccan Style motif. They became Buddha's pedestal. This year I am creating pavers for around the earth mandala.

That's it. I am getting back to the sun and color.

FA-BLUE-OUS BUDDHA

I'd rather be blue thinking of you, I'd rather be blue over you, Than be happy with somebody else.


Another short post because I have been rocking the garden redesign. My 200 lb solid cement (ok I am exaggerating but it takes 2 full sized people to budge him) Buddha has been in my garden for over a year. Last week I was given an arch arbor kit to paint and build to place over him. Somehow the gray concrete called out to become BLUE. Today I stained dear Buddha and he looks pretty darn good. I think he is happy. I know when the  hanging planter and vining plants get in he will look blue but feel FA-BLUE-OUS!

Another short blog post this week. Two pairs of gloves failed in the dying process and now I have smurf hands. It will be wierd at dinner out tonight so I best go fix it. :)

IT'S A MATTER OF BALANCE

Oh my goodness, I have been a bad little blogger. I haven't posted since mid November and here it is the new year. My Bad. Year-end was so busy. So is this beginning to the new year but... big but, all seems so much more in balance. Why? Because I am diligently taking care of me. This week I am simply going to post some photos of nature and get off the computer.

I was off grid Saturday night and Sunday morning. I didn't even have cell service. Friends took me to the coast. I was fully present. :)

These are terns on New Smyrna Beach. We also went to Blue Springs to visit with some manatees. Lovely.

I love the "do" on thee terns!

I have vowed to myself to BE out in nature at least five times a week. I am continuing my morning meditations before I get out of bed. Starting EACH DAY with deep focused and meditation makes an enormous difference in life quality. I believe it opens up your energy for good things to enter. Who needs valium?

The other thing that I am doing is eliminating or cutting down severly on some things in my diet and reducing computer time (that one is hard as I work as a graphic designer). More on that another time. Beach, Biking, Bed, Bonfires...It is a matter of balance.

Well - I leave you there. Happy 2019. See you soon.
