Dear Life, Meet White Angel, my new wheels, 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Sport. This pearl white driving machine is very visible. It has the power to take me on local mountain roads, urban highways, and around the country. Planning a summer Road Trip. Happy to feel free and healthy enough to spread my wings.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
PRM and White Angel 02.26.2025
Dear Life, Temperatures in Santa Fe are in the 60’s so the trees are budding. Plants are growing and snowcaps are melting. This is early. The Spring energy is running through me; can be seen in my drawings and paintings. I am deeply connected to the rhythms of nature. And I pay attention to the flow of energy within me and around me. Yesterday I hit a log jam while trying to purchase a car. Let’s hope a better experience with a different dealership happens today. Go with the flow and car angels.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Watercolor on Yupo Paper 02.23.25
Dear Life, A flurry of activity in the studio has produced new work including beautiful, rich, walnut ink drawings. I love eating walnuts and also painting with them. My health is stable and my energy is good. Interior life activates my painting and my exterior way of living. Changes are happening. More to come on the happy road of destiny.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Walnut Ink Drawing 02.21.2025
Dear Life, Most days, I draw a graphite Energy Portrait. I think of them as gentle x-rays. My body has had a minimum of 4 Pet Scans a year and multiple x-rays amounting to 50 plus radiation images over the past 6 years to detect/tract cancer cells. With all the radiation and chemotherapy I’ve had, I light up in the dark. My next Pet Scan is March 10th. I live between scans with the freedom of choosing my attitude. Family, friends and community provide love and support. Creativity helps me stay grounded.
I thank everyone and my Spirit.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Studio Wall 02.14.2025
Dear Life, I am excited to work with my new Japanese watercolors and brushes. I made a color chart on Yupo paper and in book. Materials inspire me. They help to create new experiences in my art. I recommend getting a creative gift for your heart. Could be something small however charged with big energy. This beautiful set of watercolors is my Valentine gift to “self” charged with love and possibilities.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Studio Table 02.11.2025
Dear Life, Blood results are in normal range and I am no longer anemic. This is a benchmark. I’ve been anemic since November 2018. Cancer patients live with multiple tests and scans and the question of what is next in terms of treatment. March 10th is next PetScan. I ate Rice Pudding with Whipped Cream to celebrate “normal”.
I affirm: “Don’t be afraid to spread your wings over the world”.
I am grateful for the artists Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste who show us how brilliantly to live our dreams.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Vision Board 2025
Dear Life, How is it that I can go to sleep convinced I cannot meet my goals and then wake up thinking, “You can do this”. My thoughts are changeable especially at different hours of the day. After a decent night of sleep, the challenges of life and living with cancer diminish. Believing in my heart’s desires feel within reach. I remember to trust, believe, perceive and receive. Everything I need is here for me through Universal Delivery. And my hands and feet go into action!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, New set of Japanese watercolors and paintbrushes arrived while I was driving through the northern New Mexico mountains in Angel Fire. Today I begin Major Projects class with artist, Brie Ruais, and work with the new materials and emerging ideas. My daily practice of creativity connects me to the greater whole of life, within me and all around me. Happy to be alive and an artist/writer.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
A detail from my 2025 Vision Board
Dear Life, This Vision Board is my “Runway” into 2025, visualizing and affirming my goals and dreams. Highly recommend to everyone the creative process and power of “visioning”. I had so much delight making it in Creative Expressions class and satisfaction propping it up at home where I can see both sides. Get out your magazines, paint, color markers, scissors, glue stick, cardboard, and have at it!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
