A pause, a breath, a road not yet traveled.

I’ve been away from blogging here for a couple of years; my how time flies. Happily involved with various pursuits, work and play, travel and solitude. Have been fortunate to have visited friends and family spread out far and wide. Enjoying working, singing, traveling, gardening and time with family, friends and beloved animal companions. I’ve become much more active Politically (now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their Country!!), and have marched, donated, written, signed and spoken out in ways I never have in the past.
Photography has changed for me since my iPhone camera is a constant companion with improved quality and function. Carrying around my BIG machines just isn’t as easy as it used to be. I’m also making a good deal more abstract digital art, including Mandalas and other kaleidoscopic and geometric works.
Never the less, I’ve managed to take thousands of photo images and share them here and there, mostly on FB (for better or worse). Flickr has also slowed down for me, but I am hoping to jump back into that particular photo pool again now that Autumn leaves are soon to begin falling. Looking forward to reconnecting with my Tribes on Flickr, primarily the group “UTATA”, if they will have me back!
Continued graphic work for Musicians and Artists has been stimulating. Traveling far and wide in the States and Europe continues to open my mind, eyes and heart. Connecting with groups of Singers regularly and keeping heart, voice and mind happy and stimulated by learning and growing with every song we sing. SO grateful for all of my voice teachers and Vocal Communities. Sing every day!
The children in my extended families have been proliferating and growing! Love the wee ones, the excitement and joy of kids in the family. Makes everyone happier when the kids are enjoying being together and having fun.
We are in wedding planning stages for our daughter and her dear Fiancé, and the process is happily moving forward. I’m going to be a “Mother of the Bride”! What an honor. Our future son-in-law is a good man, and we love him.
So, here is my re-entry. I’m hopeful that I’ll be up for keeping the blog posts coming, the photos flowing, and the mojo to make it interesting. Just getting warmed-up!
