Dear Life, I traveled 1800 miles to put my feet in the Atlantic Ocean, Amelia Island, FL. My tour guide for the day, Ken, is a family friend. Last week, I hugged Sting in Phoenix. This week, I danced to the jams of The Grits at The Palace. My brother and wife own a home on Amelia, where I’ve dropped my bags for the week. Thank you Bonnie and Dave. Loving the Beach House. Wish you were here!

Dear Life, Rolled another 500 miles from Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico and into Tallahassee, FL. Stopped in Mobile Alabama on the gulf for local food at Felix’s Fish Camp and Restaurant. Everyone is welcoming and all smiles when I tell them I am on an epic road trip. Today I reach Amelia Island to be with family friends and put my feet into the Atlantic Ocean. Living the dream and riding the wave of love!

Dear Life, Two days of travel, a thousand miles rolled under the wheels of White Angel from Santa Fe, NM to Wichita Falls, TX where I slept one night and woke to an epic thunderstorm. Fortunately, it cleared by 10:00am. Got back on the road and out of TX, through Louisiana and into Vicksburg, MI. I chose a hotel on the banks of the Mississippi River. This officially marks crossing from the west into the east. Today I travel southeast to the Gulf of Mexico and to the northwest of Florida. Tomorrow I reach my first destination, Amelia Island, FL. Loving Life!

Dear Life, Today I start my summer road trip that will take me east across the country to the Atlantic ocean and north to NY, CT, Maine and beyond. I am feeling excited. My bags are packed and ready to be put into White Angel. I have an art kit and journals to maintain my daily practices of painting and writing. The road calls and my Spirit is happy to answer YES. Here we go. You, my dear friends, are with me!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, An uplifting evening with Sting in Phoenix, remembering we shine brighter with time. Beautiful and creative spirits. We are one in love.

Dear Life, Up at sunrise to be on early flight to Phoenix where I will visit childhood friend, Esther Kelbaugh, for the weekend. We will enjoy walking and talking, eating and shopping, and dancing with Sting at his concert Sunday. I smile and flow with the joy of living!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, Today I celebrate 72 revolutions around the sun. I thank family and friends for all your love and support, and am grateful to my Higher Power and Life Force. I have lived beyond several expiration dates in the dance with cancer. Today, I celebrate life.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, Campus studio is moved home. No classes this summer. In recent paintings, I see pathways weaving throughout imagery. I am preparing for my Summer Road Trip. June and July will be a time of inner and outer reflection; new experiences of landscape, people, places, things, emotions. I will continue my daily writing and art practices. Journals and an art kit are easy to pack. I am practicing disciple with clothing. Do not empty my entire closet into the back of White Angel! Travel Light!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
