Zentangle Inspired Art Peace Bird

Actually, this look back is probably more like full on self indulgent, partly so I will be able to remember the pretty good year that just passed and partly for the few people who bemoan the loss of our my yearly newsletter that was tucked into the snail mail holiday cards I used to send. We […]

Right before Christmas, the Zentangle Diva challenged us to do a Zentangle inspired gift for someone. I dutifully began working on my project, but before I posted it, I managed an inelegant face plant while walking my husband to work. The poor guy was walking to work at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania […]

Zentangle Diva Challenge #246 – Hola Madrid, Spain Edition

December 2, 2015 18 comments

I have a good excuse for being late to this week’s Diva challenge. We spent Monday traveling to Madrid, Spain. Flights from the east coast of the United States to western Europe leave in the evening, but are only about 7 hours long, so we arrived in Madrid Tuesday morning at what would have been about […]

Travel Books by Travelers: The Perfect Gift for Readers Who Like to Travel

November 30, 2015 37 comments

Updated January 15, 2018 For me, every blog post is a little like giving birth. (I may be am indulging myself in a little some hyperbole here.) The C-section of my writing career was a 75 page independent study paper produced during my senior year of law school with over 100 footnotes. This was in some antediluvian […]

Thanksgiving turkey

[If you’re wondering what this Zentangle thing is, start HERE.] This week, the Zentangle Diva challenged us to use the tangle Hollibaugh in our tile.

It is also very versatile […]

French tri-color flag

[If you’re scratching your head about this Zentangle thing, start HERE.] I have managed to get myself pretty much day/night reversed. Since the rest of the people and the dog around me have normal circadian rhythms, this means I still have to try to function in the day time, sometimes on very little sleep. To […]

Passports with Purpose 2015: Worldreader

November 16, 2015 13 comments

When I’m not performing my duties as a recovering lawyer or as a Certified Zentangle Addict Teacher (CZT), I’m a travel blogger. I have an apparently incurable case of wanderlust I can trace to 1963 when my father took us to live in Mexico for a year. I also enjoy writing and photography, so travel […]
