How many little girls wanted to be mermaids after seeing Disney’s The Little Mermaid? Who wouldn’t, after seeing the magical undersea world Ariel lives in?
In reality, I’m kind of scared of the ocean (perhaps because Jaws came out at a very formative time in my life). I went on a trip to Hawaii in 2003, and got to swim with wild dolphins for several days, plus do a night snorkle with manta rays, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t mildly anxious the whole time.
If the sea were like Ariel’s kingdom, though… And if I could swim like Ariel… Ah, what a lovely dream.

Foxy Romance
Click Here or on Image to Bid or Buy Now (6x6in.)
The fox with the flower reminds me of my sweet MM, who was so nervous on our first date, he could barely speak and sweated right through his shirt.
Have I told you the story of how he courted me for four months, only to be kicked to the curb when someone else swept me off my feet?
And how he got back on my dance card back nine months later, only to be kicked to the curb again when somebody else swept me off my feet?
And how when that guy showed his true colors, kicked me when I was down, and (thankfully) departed from my life, MM swooped back in, healed my broken heart, and finally, after two and a half years, claimed my heart?
I think the fox with the flower has that kind of devotion and persistence. I hope the other fox sees his true colors more quickly than I saw MM’s!

That feeling when you meet someone totally different from you — much older or younger, different gender, different race, different cultural background — yet you feel instantly in tune with them. That.
Sunday Morning
SOLD
Ah, weekends. Even though I work for myself at home (usually in my pajamas), I still like to make an energetic distinction between weekdays and weekends. One way that comes out is just relaxing my morning routine a bit on Saturday and Sunday morning.
Instead of going through my usual routine, which gets me to work in my studio by 9:00am, sometimes I lounge and read. Sometimes I listen to the radio.
It’s nice to just let myself ramble a bit.
