Love Letter to Life 06.12.2026 G P S

June 12, 2026 | Pamela Markoya

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.

Love Letter to Life 06.07.2026 Personal Style

June 7, 2026 | Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I had an enlightening conversation about personal style. I thank my friend, Esther Kelbaugh, for simply saying to me: “You have your own style and always look good.” That came after I disclosed having spent an hour changing clothes before leaving the house. Ever had a day like that? When nothing looks or feels right? When you have a hard time recognizing the person looking back at you in the mirror? Esther’s comment left me feeling free to dress how I feel best, socialize in a way that connects me to others and create art that is my Spirit’s voice. My Personal Style: jeans with a black tee, meaningful words, and energy in the art.

June 2, 2026 | Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, June feels dreamy. I imagine doing all the things I love and more. My Vision Wall in the studio grows with new images. Collage in books brings my imagination to the page, collecting bits and pieces of my unconscious, revealing what’s up inside of me. I like what I’m seeing. Here’s to living it a day at a time.

Love Letter to Life 05.27.2026 Thanks

May 27, 2026 | Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, Thank you for the outpouring of positive vibes and birthday wishes. Yesterday, I said good-bye to Flow, my chemo port, as it was successfully removed. Oncology check-up will be every six months. My body is healthy and resilient. A miracle. Maybe I will get a tattoo written in beautiful script over the scar: FLOW!

May 22, 2026 | Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I reflect on the past year as I approach my birthday. This inventory helps me to honor all aspects of my life and prepare for the upcoming year. I am a Spring Baby, a Gemini, an artist, a miracle who has lived beyond a few expiration dates.
I am full of gratitude.

Love Letter to Life 05.19 2026 Preparing

May 19, 2026May 19, 2026 | Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I am preparing the studio for new work. Walls are clear except for my Vision Wall where I enjoy adding images and words that inspire and uplift me. I am collecting pollen and petals from flowers for making natural pigments and paper this June and July. The doors of my Soul are open to new experiences of collaboration, creativity, nature, and play.
