Artful Imperfection
”Feed your joyful, selfless heart. Feed your soul to grow. Feed with books, music, painting or arts. Feed with your special favorite passion you joyfully share near or far apart.” ~ Angelica Hopes Author of Rhythm of a Heart, Music of a Soul Well here I am with Toto (aka…Cami) heading into the last four performances (as Cami’s stage mom) in The Wizard of Oz.

I’m Being Followed By A Moonshadow
Hey there! I thought I’d pop in to share a bit of my eclipse experience here on the Oregon coast. The Oregon islands are awesome. The huge rock is called Facerock.

Next I dashed out to a local coffee shop where they were handing out free eclipse glasses and coffee. You can never be too prepared There were quite a few people enjoying the moment.

As exciting as it sounds (along with FOMO* tugging at me) it looks like I’ll be hanging out enjoying the view from a sweet little cottage.

However before I even applied I decided that perhaps it wasn’t such a great idea after all. I mean seriously how would I have time to do all the really important stuff in my life? With Cami performing 4 times a week in The Wizard of Oz there doesn’t seem to be much time between … Continue reading
