Well, you know I could not have come up with this one on my own. I needed a trip to Chanticleer's lotus pond, so that I might find the photo. I needed my husband to make that photo art. But most of all, I needed Amy Riley and Nicole Bonia of Winsome Media Communications to patiently wade through my design hopes (can it be simple? can it be easy for me to maintain? can it be basically like it was but a million times better?), to kindly walk me through Feedburner and the Site Meter, and to be there, pretty much around the clock, to answer my profoundly unintelligent technology questions and to be their dear, helpful, knowing, calm selves.
Amy and Nicole, you are the best, you really are.
So what do we have here? We have, at long last, an uncluttered sidebar. We have my biography—the books, the awards, the teaching, the anthologies, the judging—all housed on one page. We have review excerpts of books past and present; an interview revealing a little why, a little how; a YouTube channel that collects my various adventures on film (not all of them, indeed, I tossed many of them out; call it summer cleaning).
We have the blog, still—the photos and musings on the writer's life, the heat of summer (or the chill of winter, if we ever get there), and, mostly, books I've loved and other writers who have taught me.
The door is open. Please stop by. Please stick around.

Green Lotus is is a round 1″ in diameter glass ring.
The ring band is bronze and it’s attached firmly to the base of the glass pendant. It’s sturdy, adjustable and can fit on small to medium sized fingers.
I make all of my jewelry by hand.
This ring is not waterproof. Please do not wear while swimming or taking a shower.
Comes in a cute little organza bag.

Good thoughts in,
Bad thoughts out.
Deep breath in,
exhale slowly.
Savour the peace within.

In Egyptian art, many royal representatives were depicted holding sacred lotuses, members of the water lily family, and the gods were also associated with water lilies. In Buddhism, the lotus is an important symbol of enlightenment because it illustrates beauty rising through mud and water to bloom. Because many species tightly furl their blossoms at light, the lotus is also a symbol of opening to the light.
The roots of water lilies are embedded in the mud, well below the water line. The mud keeps the roots moist and provides a source of nutrition, while richly oxygenated water seeps into the roots.
I love the analogy of rising above muddy beginnings and blooming in spite of it all!
The lillies and stems were painted a base color and then finished with colored pencils. The lily pads are exposed patterned paper.

Hmmm, another struggle for the right image again this week. I'm not sure this thrills me but I'm sticking with it anyway. I do feel the Lotus is a sign of renewal. Maybe that's why so many spas use it as their logo and on their brochures.
I'm deeply feeling the need for renewal. I haven't been taking very good care of myself since this move. I can't seem to get out of my own way and I hardly ever feel well anymore.
Well, time to change the old attitude and bad habits that keep me stuck. I know that if I keep doing the same things I'll get the same results. From this day forward I'll work on renewing my body, mind and spirit and become more of who I want to be.
I can't wait for the transformation but at the same time I know I must practice patience because that's where I keep falling down. I want results yesterday.
I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing. This is the year. It really is!

My boys and I have just come across renowned illustrator Raúl Cólon’s first fully authored picture book, Orson Blasts Off! (published in 2004), which is a real flight of the imagination. It’s about a boy who can see no end to boredom when his computer breaks down… until his jack-in-the-box called Weasel points to what is going on outside: it’s snowing, even though it’s July. Then Orson embarks on his adventures with great gusto: the North Pole, a desert island and even the stars.
The story is told through the dialogue between Orson and Weasel – indeed, it would make a good interactive read-aloud, as it’s really a script: but the wonderful illustrations add in the background as well as the wit and irony, so young readers/listeners will have to engage their imaginations too. It definitely provokes lots of comments and conversation – it’s not one to choose for a quick bedtime story, until it’s well established in the family repertoire!
My children love books which blur the edges between the “real” world and imaginary adventures: two which they have wanted read to them over and over again are Jo’s Storm by Caroline Pitcher, illustrated by Jackie Morris and Cloud Nine by Norman Silver, illustrated by Jan Ormerod, which are both out of print now and need to be sought out second hand… I can see that Orson Blasts Off! will be joining them on their bit of the bookshelf.
These books all star boys; there must be picture books out there which take girls off on amazing flights of the imagination too: any suggestions, anyone?

This is just beautiful. You do some wonderful things with patterned paper! It makes me want to try. Is the paper thick enough to allow paint? Must be or you wouldn't be doing it. I love the words of wisdom.
Beautiful painting and beautiful words.
Wonderful painting and the words are pretty cool too. XOXO
Ooooh, i like this very much. Beautiful Lo! Since getting owen i have sort of lost my morning meditation...
Ooh I know this little beauty- I have it on my pinboard!! Lovely words too.x
Lovely, Lolo!!! Especially this time of year, eh???
I must say this is a very peaceful sketch. I could just look at it and relax.
love the words and the image. i just went on an open studio tour and saw some lovely wooden carved buddha's as this lovely lady's studio. I like the way they remind me of peace and that peace is a choice.
This is sooooo perfect for this time of year....soothing and relaxing and a reminder not to get caught up in all the bedlam and madness of unnecessary things.
Lovely!!!
XXOO~~♥

I love your work, Lolo!! This one is perfect for me right now...there are so many functions to attend between now and Christmas! Your words and painting remind me to find the quiet spot within.
I love the tranquility of this piece.... it is something I constantly need to work at....and as Suki wisely says, "Peace is a choice"... but sometimes, one forgets that!
Sorry I missed you last night, "BS"....
Love to you, "SH", "Princess" and "Fear the Ear" - ha-ha!!!!
