CELEBRATING SPRING

I love springtime! Everything is so fresh, so green, so full of blooming life. And the mosquitos and other annoying bugs aren’t out yet, so I can sit on my doorstep and enjoy the blossoms and scents without getting eaten … Continue reading

EVOLUTION / DESTINY

I wasn’t planning anything of any great importance when I set out to draw this one. It took me by surprise! All I wanted to do was see if I could draw something using steps as a foundational theme. So … Continue reading

PLAYING in the FOREST

I had a dream this morning where all these funny looking folks were out playing in the trees. They were climbing and swinging and diving and flying and just being loud and laughy and silly, being naughty and having way … Continue reading

IS ART MINE? AM I ART? WHO AM I, ANYWAY?

I did an experiment back in the mid-80s. I decided to go on walkabout – or, since I’d be living in my truck, I called it truckabout. Because for years, I had had this niggling feeling in the back of … Continue reading

CATTYPILLAR HOLES

This remains a mystery! You know how yesterday I said there are cattypillars chewing pretty little round holes in some of my Red Bud tree leaves? I noticed something intriguing about them this morning: they only eat around the edges … Continue reading

CATTYPILLARS ON MY RED BUD TREE!

Sun + leaves = glory and delight! There are two times each day when the sun filters through the leaves of my Red Bud tree, lighting it up like stained glass. I never get tired of seeing it. The way … Continue reading

Arnica Heartleaf

Arnica promotes healing; is antimicrobial and antiseptic. I’ve used Arnica for years – both in salve and homeopathic forms. It works great, especially for some forms of artritis (which I like to call arth-wrong-iss) and carpel tunnel. Except it doesn’t … Continue reading

ARTISTS ARE the RAFTS

I fully believe that no matter the intensity and depth of the swamp and the mire and the mud and the insanity that we are going through – and probably will go through a lot more of in the coming … Continue reading

ROSES for YOU

As you know, I’ve been recovering from a two-month ordeal of having been environmentally poisoned. Doing the requisite rest everyone tells me to do drives me crazy – seems like it makes the healing take longer than I’d like. I … Continue reading

I Was Poisoned

This is why I haven’t written since January. I was physically and mentally incapable of writing at all. For two months. I awoke on Christmas Day to the stench of something dead in my house. Within an hour, I was … Continue reading

How Long Are You Going to Continue Being Ruled by Depression and Anxiety?

What if you could top chewing on your pain? It’s tiring, boring, and it’s just spiraling you deep into exhaustion. Right now you’re probably stuck in a closed mental/emotional loop that goes nowhere, and makes you feel bad, badder, and … Continue reading

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE

You do! I value YOU, and every one of the people who show up, view, appreciate and buy my work, make comments, send support dollars – it means the world to me! I wish you a very happy after-Christmas/holiday-in-between week, … Continue reading

THE END of the DARK FORCES

I had a dream tonight that woke me up and made me come running here into my studio to sit down and write it out. In my dream, all of my light-filled friends and allies in the entire world got … Continue reading

I Wonder Why You Clap but Not Comment on Medium

I’m almost done with Medium. I’m disgusted. The other day, I posted that it was my birthday. That post got 18 claps. Really? You supposedly read my post, clapped, but didn’t even have the courtesy to wish me a happy … Continue reading

I Had to Block An Attack on My Websites Today

I have been targeted lately by some chin*se assholes who keep asking me if I have registered some of my websites in ch*na, and that they want to do so, themselves. Even going as far as wanting to register angelatreatlyon.com. … Continue reading

BLACK STALLION LOVES BUNNY

I guess I’m just the typical 79-year-old teenager who never got over loving and fantasizing about having horses.  . My parents had a boat we got to sail all summer – they said that was enough! No horses! I said, … Continue reading

POSSIBILITIES

There is so much threatening our freedom right now! So – what to DO??? Happy Thanksgiving Day to all who celebrate, and to all who do not! I choose this image named Possibilities for today because times are scary right … Continue reading

I Refuse to Let Life Crush Me

People are reeling at the chaos created by recent events! We have to manage our minds better! Being with people recently, whether live or on social media, feels like being in an emotional washing machine, tossed around like a piece … Continue reading

LOOKING BACK JUST MAKES YOU YEARN, ACHING and DEPRESSED

Listening to Shanna spout crap like that made my belly churn. What the heck was she thinking??? But suddenly, she went into this kind of glassy-eyed trance . . . Shanna came back over today to tell me she was … Continue reading

STOP WASTING YOUR ENERGY!

My neighbor Shanna came over, crying, utterly bereft about the election. I told her to put her big-girl panties back on and quit indulging in weeping and wailing and moaning and being angry and sad, moping around like a victim, … Continue reading
