Dear Life, Slept in. Deep and restful. Woke to a light covering of snow in Santa Fe. I feel grateful to have a warm and quiet home, peaceful and loving relationships, strong and resilient body, creative and thriving life after five years of living with cancer. Thank You Higher Power and Community.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, Friends are being displaced due to fires and toxic air in LA. Thousands of people and animals are on the move. The ravages of climate disturbances and war are disrupting so many lives throughout the world. I feel the unrest. I make art and pray. I help how and where I can. I remember to be kind to everyone.

Dear Life, I quietly pray while wildfires rage in California. My love goes out to all beings under the siege of fire, ash, smoke and displacement.
Here are yesterday’s Energy Portraits.

Dear Life, I appreciate the Graphite Energy Portraits as a daily check-in. I see them as I do x-rays and serving the same purpose: an imprint of my-self in a moment in time. I hang the drawings in my studio and after a week can see patterns, intensities, the behaviors of the marks. A musician does this with notes, a writer with words, a dancer with movements. We all do this all day making all our different marks. How are you making your marks today?

Dear Life, Returned to my Santa Fe Community College campus. All is quiet except for a few staff and custodians. Classes begin January 21st but I have access to studio and facilities. I sat and enjoyed my space and work. Good to be there. I walked a few loops throughout the indoor corridors. Baby, it’s cold outside so I’m grateful for the warmth within me, my home, and the college. I did my first “Energy Portrait” of 2025. Hello.

Dear Life, The New Year calls me to review and create new Vision Boards. The one you see here is from 2022 and was 4′ x 6′ on a wall in my former studio. I’ve started to collect images for the upcoming year. This is a shout out: Do you have visual magazines I could use for my vision boards and collages? Private message or call me. We can set-up a hand-off or mailing. Thank you!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Vision Board 2022
Dear Life, Life is mysterious, the comings and goings of daily life happening while another “reality” plays within me. I am deeply moved by a “beaming face” in my dream that inspires me to awake with joy and gratitude. The flickering of candlelight and a familiar song plays lifting my spirit while I unwrap a gift, “Love Poems From God”. That’s spot-on in my wheelhouse where books and art are my companions. Thank you for the gifts of mystery and meaning-making moments.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
