Creative Soul Living is what I call the way I choose to live my everyday life with creative intent. I believe it’s not only possible, but also necessary 
Outside My Window Today
It snowed today. It snowed yesterday. Stuck inside with a busy baby. She’s walking around and tearing up the contents of cabinets. We took a trip to see her grocery store friends today. Wave to the nice vultures.

Different Kinds of Love
Each love we experience adds to our repertoire of love skills. Different kinds of love create layers in our understanding of our worth. Each love is a gift. A work of art we have yet to see. Puppy love is newborn love. About me, complete me. Love me love. Devoted crush giddy gush. First Love…

I Am What I Am
Sitting in my hair stylist’s chair, deep into a conversation, she says she recently heard that we don’t see ourselves through our own eyes, we see ourselves as we think others see us. I asked her to repeat this. She said our self-perception is based on how we believe others think of us. (Turns out…

My Definition of Artist
A friend of a friend phoned me recently. She is in charge of the fundraiser for the local Humane Society and would I be interested in painting a chair to be auctioned off to raise the money? I said yes, of course. I was flattered to have been asked. She would send me a form…

Dining Room Christmas Decorations
My dining room wall is my decorative play-zone. My feature spot to do whatever I want to create the mood I’m looking for.

Surrender The Pink
Yes, I read this book by Carrie Fisher, aka Princess Leah. And although this and her other books were all pretty darn good, I am alluding to Tuesday’s Huesday theme and today’s color is … the color PINK. This random collection of Pink themed photos can be found here on Kathy Gerber’s pinterest page. There’s…
