The Eyes have it!

Teeter Totter is the newest addition to the Babe brigade. A new style and I am quite addicted already:)I've always leaned towards the classic styles of bears: bare bears (grin) and big bows. Subtle shading for character appeals to the frustrated artist in me! But I am enjoying trying the more animated eyes of contemporary styles. I just find myself grinning from ear to ear at the expressions

The memory of an old friend

went flashing through my brain today when, during one of my wildly rambling Internet links-following adventures in the wee hours of the deep night, I was lead to a website of the brilliantly depressing but oddly highly motivational Charles Bukowski.( http://bukowski.net/ )~one of the most intriguing American poets of what is sometimes called the Beat Generation. But to catagorize him as such is a

Road Trip!

2009-02-08T13:48:00.003-05:00

I was off on the highways yesterday appreciating the beauty of true winter...while warm and toasty in my trusty vehicle "Bud" (does anyone else name their cars? I have since my first ugly boat of a Ford Fairlane when I was 21!)Fighting off the typical sniffles of the season, I passed through some pretty impressive scenery along the way. Very white, very artistic, very postcard-worthy winter.

I find myself plunk down in the deep middle of Empty Nest Syndrome. I knew it was coming, there was no stopping it. It was not a surprise. I raised my two kids to be as strong and independent as possible while still letting them know, with no preconditions, that I was always there for them when and if they needed me. I will be. It is the one certainty of my life. I will be there for my kids if

Watching the Inauguration coverage a bit. Tearing up a bit. Proud of my country a lot. Hopeful...tremendously. Amazing history being made.I've seen a lot of history. And it has always given me a very quiet, personal sense of gratitude and pride that because of the era I was born in (1950's) I have watched astounding changes come over the country/world/universe/society. I guess everyone thinks

Soul Hibernation

2009-01-10T14:16:00.001-05:00

No surprise to anyone who has a clue about me, but I am a hybernating mammal. Much like the teddy bears I love to create, I enjoy the comfort and relative peaceful tranquility of hunkering down in a less-than perfectly sunny world and...frankly...breathing in and out in soft and gentle solitude. Turning off any excessively *noisy* outer-chaos and busy-ness, tuning out the persistent,vocal *

To another year, that except for the Presidential primaries and election (!), flashed by at lightening speed.Not such a great year for the bottom line, stress points escalating as much as the Dow Jones plunged. Housing screwed up from years and years of business and banking greed (plus, let's be honest...surreal elitist tendencies of a credit obsessed public)...future generations paying for the

On a serious note...

after being disappointed repeatedly, one of the simplest forms of emotional self-preservation is to lower expectations and push on. Keep faith in yourself, keep an eternal spotlight of hope in a corner of your heart, and keep finding small joys in every day. But let go of the destructive emotional pain that can be indelibly attached to having certain expectations. Push onward.Life is always
