I am writing over at Still Standing today. . .
Ever feel like you are really reaching for something to write about? Lately that is how I am feeling. I am not sure if it is the end of the school year and life taking on a new flow or if it is just a season right now.
If you are a faithful reader, I apologize for not having something riveting to always say. But I am painting more and that is really where my focus is.
Something that I have been doing more of when I feel like this, is to go back and revisit some of my older posts.
I found something that I wanted to share. It is a poem that I wrote for Amelia’s memorial service and it is titled “What Will You Have in Store for Me.”
It is being published on Still Standing Poetry Sunday today and I would love to get your feed back about it. Just click over the image below to read it. I added some artwork that I think identifies with this poem.
I am literally in between coming and going. I was just whisked away for a surprise few days at a spa for my birthday (hubby is awesome) and am now back and have a few hours to re-pack for our first trip to NH. We are going to a family camp and apparently, there is more to pack than I realized. But before I am off line for the next week, I wanted to share a few things with you.

Second, I wanted to share an article I wrote about children and grief. I speak from a place of professional and personal experience.

Third, I have some new art that I want to share, as well as a collaboration project I am doing with Tina over at Mama Mia jewelry. So, if within a week I haven’t shared . . . call me out and I will get myself together and post some photos and share the new pretties!
Fourth, the Donate Art project is still going strong AND I have added the “Gone Too Soon” as a card for early losses. You can see more about that HERE.
Fifth and finally, I would LURVE to hear from you any feedback on what you think of the new navigation bar. Is it easy enough to find things? Or ~ what would like to see more of in the shop. Ya know. . . if life gives you a second to respond.
