Imagine if we all treated each other as if we loved each other. How amazing that would be. What a wonderful world it would be to live in. Aren’t we tired yet of all the world-happenings crap? So much anger, frustration, violence, opposition – can’t we agree to just freaking get along?

BLINDED BY PAIN
I have many friends who are struggling hard every day – either dealing with weird family BS, money stuff, illness, or pain – it’s unreal how unrelenting life can be sometimes. It makes me wish I had a magic wand I could just wave once or twice and their problems would turn into Good Things.
PLANT A WORLD TREE
I find solace from the woes of the human world by being in nature. Even if it’s only standing on my door stoop, taking time to take breaths of not-house air. I’m reminded today about the first time I did that – stood out on my stoop, just breathing in the lovely clean sea-air of […]
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU’VE GOT!
Why? Because sometimes life is short, hard, and brutal. And some people only get a few chances at The Good Stuff. And some people get mowed down, their lives cruelly cut short. It’s sad and discouraging to think people value life so little that they have the gall to take other peoples’ lives, ending a […]
THE GOOD CATCH
In our not-too-long-ago past, there used to be little fishing villages where the guys go out every morning and come back with their boats laden with fishies. When they return at dusk on the rosy horizon, the women and chilluns gather round down on the strand and dance and sing, celebrating the good catch as […]
LEG CRAMPS!
Do you get leg or foot cramps? Did you know those cramps are known to be caused by lack of water in your system, and possibly not enough magnesium? Next time these debilitating cramps wake you up at night, or pounce upon you as you sit at dinner, or as you walk down the street, […]
ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS – I WIN!
We don’t play enough. We’re so serious, our faces dragging across the floor like wet mops, full of regret, anger and seriosity. Remember your mom saying, don’t frown – your face is going to get stuck like that? Turns out it’s true! And then we look aghast in the mirror at the lines running down […]
WHAT ART DOES FOR ME
Today it was so hot I felt like someone was sucking my energy right out of my cells. Have you ever felt like that? I think it was pure miracle that I didn’t just wither and slide into a fluid puddle on the floor! But I have a Secret Thing I use to re-energize – […]
PEACE BIRDIES
Are we tired of chaos yet? As if it will ever end! Right? It’s the nature of this contrasty world! That still doesn’t mean I can’t wish for a moment of peace once in a while. Actually, I’d like a very lonnnng moment of peace. I find I’m the one responsible for that, however – […]
TO-DOs that I DON’T DO, and SOME THAT I D
Last night I sat down and organized my latest to-do lists. Long term, short term to-dos, and in betweens that don’t really fit anywhere. Planning, of course, that when I got up today I’d dive right in and tick them off one by one as I got them done. Have I done any of them […]
“I’M FINE,” SHE SAID, SMILING. BUT SHE WA
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 bout of pneumonia. As I understand it, she had “I’m fine’d” for too long, and […]
LIGHT and HEALTH ZAPPING HANDS
Don’t you wish sometimes that your hands could transmit light, healing, and well-being to anything you pointed to or touched? I would see people who are suffering, and I would lay my hands gently on their shoulders as I stand next to them, so all their heavy cares would float away, and they could live […]
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 alive. I’m careful about which bugs are good for the garden, and which ones to […]
FEATHERY FENNEL
I have always liked the feathery leaves of fennel. I’ve painted it a few times, and was never really satisfied with the results. But drawing it this way gives me a look I really like. I think this image would be great to add to a quilt. I wonder if there are people who make […]
STILL NIBBLING IN from THE SIDES
I told you about the way the cattypillars are munching pretty little round holes in the sides of the Red Bud tree leaves, starting at the edges and moving in towards the center. I have been amazed that that hasn’t changed. I fully expected them to start wandering all over the leaf surfaces, leaving little […]
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 – like a little kid eating the crusts off his sandwich before he dives into […]
WEAVINGS in the GARDEN
Being in my garden is always a special treat – even though it’s there, every day, every day, sometimes I forget. Weird, no? How could I??? When I wander in the garden, sweet energies weave and whisp throughout the invisible tapestry of energy of flower, bees, bush and bugs – the elusive suffusive scent of […]
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 know, I know, don’t push the damn river! So yesterday I thought I’d give myself […]
How Long Are You Going to Continue Being ...
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 baddest. You play your woe-is-me scenario over and over in your mind, like gnawing on […]
FOXY-LOXY GARDEN TASSEL RUG
I want to share this with you right quick – I just ordered one of these magnificent rugs for myself!!! I rarely get to keep my own pieces, so I’m excited! The top image shows a rug made for a bathroom. No tassels, but non-skid bottom, and soft and cushy to walk on! Above is […]
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 together and sent wave after wave of pure love to all the people in thrall […]
I Wonder Why You Clap but Not Comment on ...
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 birthday? You couldn’t even do the 50 claps Medium suggests? Another post that surprised me […]
SILLY TIGER LAUGHS ALL DAY
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 FB feed it was my birthday, and so many people commented that I’m blown away […]
I Had to Block An Attack on My Websites T...
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. I’m thinking, wtf are they going to do with a website with MY name on […]
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, wasting her energy She yelled at me. I don’t do well with being yelled at. […]
LET ME HOLD YOU UNTIL YOU FEEL BETTER
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, no complaining, no woes - just a nice, warm hey-I-love-you-let’s-hug kinda thing.
WHERE DID MY ENERGY GO???
I’m used to being one of those annoying full-of-juice, c’mon-let’s-go people who get everyone else motivated and moving and having way too much fun as we make waves in the world with our artful creations. So now it surprises the shit out of me when sometimes I feel like I’ve been rolled over by a […]
MY MACHO NACHOS (& CHIPS)
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 from existence if it was known!
SELFIE BEAR
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 particular about one video posted by a gal who filmed herself all gussied up, slamming […]
PLANT ENERGY
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 used for healing. Each one of them has specific properties that help with various different […]
