And she knew it. And she kept on smiling that big fake smile, even though she also knew she might be dying. Today I happened upon a post written by an old friend who had just gone through a near-fatal … Continue reading

I’m so tired. I work at night, because cool nights are better than 107-degree days. And there is less psychic interruption. But what is really important? But having a backwards sleep cycle wears you out, and I’m worn to the … Continue reading
I’m sure you’ve seen all the posts everywhere that say love yourself, take care of yourself, and on and on – Well, what does loving ourselves, taking care of ourselves, even look like? Is it fun? Serious? Drudgery? Happy? Silly? … Continue reading
When I moved to my new place a couple months ago, I noticed a feathery young plant sprouting from one of the pots on my doorstep. I haven’t had time to take care of it more than watering it every … Continue reading
What are we waiting for? I’ll get the blanket and the food basket, you get the drinks, and I’ll meet you out under the tree! It’s a lovely day, not too hot, not too chilly – just right to sit … Continue reading
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
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
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
They’re still at it, but now the leaves look like they’re tired. The leaves, drooping now, look like little boats trying to drain themselves of excess water. The holes are still on the edges – no bites on the surfaces … Continue reading
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
Three goodies for you today! I have so many designs just sitting in little folders on my desktop, each one begging me to let it come to the light and be seen! So today you get not one, not two, … Continue reading
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
Over the past few weeks, I have found myself glued to my screen, watching tiktok and FB reels. I come into my studio with a long list of things to do – and every single one of those items promptly … Continue reading
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
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
An enormous spout of splashy water came fountaining up – and up – and up – Every once in a while, the amount I miss the beach almost clobbers me down onto my knees. I miss the sounds, the waves, … Continue reading
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
Today it’s my birthday – I can hardly believe I have lived this long. I frankly never thought I’d make it past 26. (We won’t talk about Ms Wild Child in the past, now, will we!?!) I posted on my … Continue reading
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
I got all the way to my mid-teens before it suddenly came home to me one day that other people didn’t just suddenly get complete downloads of ideas the way I did. People asked me, “Where do you get your … Continue reading
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
If only I had the means to comfort everyone! Wouldn’t it be nice if you had someone whose arms you could just fall into, snuggle up against them and revel in the comfort of their Being? No need for crying, … Continue reading
I used to go out into my yard in Hawaii, sit in my favorite chair, and hold hands with my ferns. They loved it (they told me so!) and I loved it. I miss that. Where I live now, I … Continue reading
Some of us, who are perfect in every other possible way (ahem!), have a terrible, dark secret. That secret, if known, would probably make everyone on the planet shun, condemn, and make fun of us! We might even be deleted … Continue reading
Having a basically shy nature, it’s beyond me how people are so obsessed with making selfies. I just don’t get it. Why would anyone want to plaster themselves all over a world-wide platform? Can you tell me? I’m thinking in … Continue reading
Back in the 90s, I lived in two of the bays of an old abandoned fire house, where the town fire trucks had been kept. There was a big parking lot out front. At the beginnings of our daily walks … Continue reading
I’ve studied healing plants for years, and have always wanted to honor them somehow – the ones I have used always did such wonders for me and my family. So I’m working on creating a series of designs featuring plants … Continue reading
There are some days when things in life seem so shitty that I can’t get my mind bent around a single thing – except drawing. Drawing is my life-saver. Today was one of those days. I’ve been completely occupied with … Continue reading
There are days I’m so full of ideas and images they feel like popcorn popping and bursting and trying to get out of my noggin. Today was one of those days. Usually, before I open my eyes to fully wake … Continue reading
My ma had the most awesome organic garden. She had every veggie known to man and some we had no clue what they were. Despite it being the source of so much deliciousness, we kids hated that garden, because we … Continue reading
