I have been very absent and am just turning a corner where I see the sun and all  the colors I have so missed in the last months! I am ready to toss my black wardrobe in favor of turquoise, yellow, orange and red, colors that make me smile when I wear them. I bought a gallon(not even a sample first!) of an apricot toned gold to paint the living of the house I am in, and that is a huge celebratory moment for a woman who always paints her home no matter if it is a rental, a purchase or a lengthy stay at a good friend’s! I just have to have light and color around me….they are vitamins for my soul!

My son just gave me this incredible new page and I love it! It’s kind of gypsy/artist/crazy/movement…..It’s me!!

And I am ready to get back to the art of lifting our spirits with a few bits of wisdom culled from my adventures as a Realtor in the market of life! You can tell by my effusive use of exclamation points that I am back in the game. I was going to remove the last entry, which is kind of haunting and not uplifting, but it occurs to me that there may be another out there who has hit bottom and needs to know that there is light up ahead. I always told people I am the kind of person who deals with depression like I did swimming. When I got in over my head and feared drowning, I would raise my arms so I got to the bottom of the pool as fast as possible, because only then could I bend my knees and push off to get back to the air and light and oxygen!

I’m breathing again, thank you Lord. And it feels good!
