Jolene is on her way! Barb is picking me up at 7 am tomorrow morning. We pick Jolene up at the airport in David at 8:30, and then we are off to Las Lajas, which is about 1 hour 45 minutes from here and about 45 minutes from the airport. Then, for the next three days…fun! Jolene wants to learn Zentangle, so that will be packed.
I have entered a bookmark phase. I saw these on the Creations CeeCee YouTube channel, and I wanted to make them. I did the first phase yesterday and just finished the second go-round. Not sure what will happen next, but I think I like that scraggly branch one.
Phase 1:
Phase 2:
And, the latest Zentangles:
I received encouraging feedback from Ash today:
“I like this Christine! You are doing great now focus on consistency on day to day basis.”
On a less happy note, Gloria had to return to the hospital yesterday. Apparently her insurance company has not completed the details of her itinerary back to the U.S., and they will no longer pay for health care at home. They also need to pick her up from a hospital; so she had to go back. And then, adding insult to injury, she has tested positive for Covid. So, it is now unclear what will happen.
My favorite new teacher: Swami Sarvapriyananda. He teaches from the tradition of Advaita Vedanta (nonduality). I first saw him in conversation with Rupert Spira. He is an excellent speaker. He is organized, funny, down to earth, a wealth of knowledge and gives great examples of how we can become more familiar with who we really are as consciousness.
Okay…time to pack!
good to hear of all your opportunities and experiences. Sorry about your friend and her health challenges. Have fun on your little trip with the gals. I go to a retreat for the weekend Friday afternoon
I LOVE your artwork!! You certainly have a gift. Your Zentangles are so pretty and articulate. Those lines can be kind of difficult and you make it look easy. But, having started this I know it’s not!!
I’m glad Jolene finally started her journey. She’s going to love it.
Actually, Dan said he’d be open to going next year and stay on the beach for a week. We’ll see.
Love You!
Love those bookmarks! About to board in DC – see you in two more flights! š
I read a book a month? š Hint hint…
