“Here I go again” seems to be my favorite saying these past few months. After dropping out of blogging, both reading and writing, as well as all forms of art making or crafting (unheard of for me!), a

Happy New Year from my thawed-out heart

Since my mother passed away two and a half years ago, and I moved far from the ceramic studio where I socialized every single day, I have pretty much kept to myself and have allowed very few positive

Could I be doing something better with my time?

The day before yesterday I read Misty Mawn’s touching post about longings and memories. At the end of it she provided a link to two YouTube videos. Off I went, down memory lane. The next hour was spe

Second thing

I was planning on just letting the second item slide after writing about the first thing many people don’t know about me, because, well I don’t know why. The fact is that I periodically wonder why I w

Even though you didn’t ask, I’m going to tell you two things most people don’t know about me. 1. In 2000 I lived with a rat. No, no, not that kind. The real thing: the four-legged variety. His name

I love these stones

These are the stones that pave the streets of the spot on Earth that in all my life I have loved the most. The town is Torremaggiore, province of Foggia, region of Puglia, in southern Italy. I loved

We went, we saw, we were conquered.

I'm back, more or less. It's been a week today, but I still don't feel like all of me is back here. I can’t find the adjectives to describe the trip. Movimentato, would be a good Italian word for i

Arrivederci!

In a few hours I’ll be on a plane to Italy (actually first London, then Rome). I’ll be gone a month. The photo above was taken 12 years ago and I love it. I’m standing in front of one of several cast
