Dear Life, I had the joy of celebrating and seeing the film, “Dirty Dancing” last week at the Violet Crown with this bevy of beauties, including Michael, one of the original Dirty Dancing dancers. That film is iconic and influenced the way I moved my hips forever! The event was the first I’ve attended publicly since the pandemic. Wow, it was great being with an audience as we laughed, cheered, cried, and had a fun evening. Ate a lot of popcorn, too! Thank you, Deana, for the invite!
Yours, Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, I know how important it is in my recovery to see everything with sobriety and levity. When I’m in fear, my knee-jerk reaction is to try to control everything. Not good. When I meet life with love, my heart flies open and I connect with others. Very good. What a difference a new perspective makes. Changes my world and the world around me.

Dear Life. I arrived in CT twenty-one days ago. I’ve had the best vacation with family and friends. It’s always good when you want to stay when it’s time to leave. Thank you Life for the love of all the people I’ve shared this time with. Headed to Santa Fe tonight.

Dear Life, As my vacation nears its end, Arlene and I are taking day trips to small towns, going to museums and enjoying the beach. We also visit with mutual friends over meals and have vital conversations. We live in a turbulent time that asks us to stretch with love, courage, and strength. I try to make the world around me a little bit better each day.

Dear Life, Hydrangea is one of my favorite flowers and bloom throughout the summer in the East. My sister’s Connecticut gardens are a symphony of blooms. Recently, I dreamt I created an incredible earthworks art and had a performance of Symphonic Poems images with music for hundreds of people. A wonderful vision. My hope-filled future.

08.11.2022 WITH LOVE, I GAVE TRACY PARKIN, MY DAUGHTER, THE PAINTING I MADE IN THE WORKSHOP, “ANGELS IN THE DARK”.

Dear Life, Arlene and I went to an all-day painting workshop “Angels In The Dark” then met my daughter Tracy Parkin for dinner at the Water’s Edge. We ate Lobsta’ Rolls as they say in New England then walked the gorgeous seaside property. It was a magical day. I gave Tracy the painting I made in the workshop.

Dear Life, My spiritual reading was “Home Blessing”. I’ve been a guest over the past few weeks and have thanked every home I’ve been in. Traveling reminds me, Home Is In My Heart. I do my best to be present, loving, and kind while I reunite with family and friends. Today I’m happy to meet one of Arlene’s mentors in Westport, CT, Roe Halper. She’s a working artist and teacher in her eighties. Each day is an adventure.

Love Letter to Life 08.08.2022 My Family
Dear Life, I had a wonderful visit with my grandson, Christopher, daughter Tracy, granddaughter Laurel and fur baby Murphy. We sat around Tracy’s kitchen table all afternoon talking, eating and laughing. Tracy and I were reunited in 2020 through Ancestry.com after 50 years of separation. Their presence in my life is a miracle.
My heart is whole and overflowing with love.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
