Dear Life, There are many disruptive weather systems throughout the states. High temperatures, fire, smoke, monsoons, flooding, and more are causing major issues. Heat has slowed me down some. I show up to the studio and an art class with a “summer camp” attitude. It actually makes it enjoyable. Wherever you are, please, be sensitive to your body. There is a reason for the phrase, “The lazy days (daze) of summer”.

Dear Life, My recent guest texted me from another room in my home this screen shot along with “THIS IS YOU”. Well, first I melted then shot it back at her, “IT IS YOU, TOO”. I have since forwarded to others who have left me smiling. Don’t you just love getting an uplifting text from the other room?!? Please forward and make someone’s day.

Dear Life, A childhood friend, Esther Kelbaugh, visited me in Santa Fe for a long weekend. I love having her here so much that I tried convincing her to move. Alas, as much as Esther likes Santa Fe, she has a beautiful home in AZ. The upside of this is we get to vacation with one another in two great places. Thank you for the fun, laughter, and love!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

JUNE VISION MAP 2026
Dear Life, For decades, I have made Vision Boards and many have covered walls. The current one is in my campus studio. The images/words are pasted onto road maps, hence the new name, Vision Mapping. I am planning to facilitate a Santa Fe workshop in July to inspire others to have fun while Visioning. This road trip does not require gasoline! More details to come.

Dear Life, Summer Solstice is here and with it a desire to grab a beach chair and my bathing suit. Alas, I live in the high desert far from the ocean. However I can experience a Lightness of Being in the beauty surrounding me and ultimately within me. The energy of summer helps me release any “weight” blocking me from the Lightness of Being. Be gone fear and worries. It’s a beach day! Today that means going to the studio and planting my toes in the waves of creativity and lunching with a friend. Happy Solstice, Everyone!

Dear Life, Like the wizardry of my smartphone and car’s navigational system, I have a GPS working within me navigating my thoughts and actions so I may be in the right place, at the right time, with the right people. Yesterday I was walking on SFCC campus and ended up at the opening of the “Un-Housed” Exhibit in the Dean’s Gallery. I talked with artists and listened to a presentation that moved me deeply while standing amongst beautiful art. I knew my GPS was working: God’s Positioning System.
