Hello! I started this site to share some of my creative journeys and explore with others who might be on the same path. This is a two-fold site, for now.
First, my Conversation Salon — I call it The Merry Band of Conversationalists. I started this conversation group 20 years ago; I can’t even believe how time has flown, seriously. I wanted to find interesting people who would enjoy getting together to share ideas. Simple, right? In fact, it has been — and more fun than I can express. My first blog post is about The Merry Band, and I will, periodically, post flyers and experiences from this group. I’m also planning to write a “how to” book entitled Twenty Years of Conversation – How To Host a Successful Conversation Salon (or something similar). Stay tuned!
Second, I will be posting about my various artistic adventures — my many mistakes, discoveries, and even some successes! I started painting furniture and furnishings. Then, I moved on to painting on canvas — mostly with acrylics. Painting has become a form of meditation for me. Close the door, turn on some music, and forget about the world of responsibilities that we all have. I’ve learned so much, and I will continue to learn as I experiment with new styles and mediums.
Eventually, I’d like to include some of my other writings on this site. I am originally an English teacher, and I have an assortment of essays and stories to share… We’ll see how this goes. I’m always the first to admit, “I know nothing!” But learning has been my life, as I’m sure it is yours as well. This is an on-going adventure; I hope you’ll join me!
