What I’m doing now (October 2025)
My oldest signed up for online courses for this academic year so she can go work at a ski resort in Colorado for the winter. She found a nice used snowboard on a local online market.
I’ll be driving her out there on November 1st!
My youngest seems to be settling into college nicely and is very busy. Not only is he on the Debate Team, he’s coaching/judging high school debate, and mentors kids on a debate team at a private school in Berkeley. My brain hurts for him, but arguing is his life, so he’s happy.
I’m grateful for the incremental way in which my kids have decided to leave the nest.
This makes it less of a shock for me, and easier to adjust.

Freed of that responsibility, I have resumed my daily art habit! I’m applying for a spot in the Mid-America Arts Alliance Artist INC program. I figured out how to do CMS so I could showcase 65 of these journal pages I’ve been talking about. I don’t have a link to them on this site for you though because they are not really for the whole world to see—yet?
​
In preparation for the essay questions on the application, I took most of a Saturday to do a serious accounting of my 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year goals. This was a great exercise. I then broke down the 1-year goals into action steps and put those in the list app that I live by.
​
I’m still a Case Manager in Supportive Housing. Sometimes my eyeballs meander over to scan job listings, just to see …
Please drop me a line, just for fun, and/or friend me on Insta.
I hope you’re well!
