Dear Life, My blood test results were great. Normal. My body is healing and generating new, healthy cells. It is a “moment in time” to celebrate. We all can celebrate when we receive positive news. We can all support one another through every “result” whatever it may be. My faith and hope is here for you. Thank you for being in my community. I love you.

Dear Life, Today my Major Projects class will have a final critique with Shane Tolbert, teacher, and Jordan Eddy, writer and curator. I look forward to seeing my classmates artwork and hearing everyone’s comments. I have received many gifts being at Santa Fe Community College: uninterrupted studio time to explore new work, feedback from a variety of guests, students, and teachers, a wonderful community of people engaged in creative pursuits. I look forward to working in my campus studio and taking classes through May 2025.

Dear Life, Sustenance: a. means of support, maintenance, subsistence; b. food, provisions, nourishment; c. something that gives support, endurance, strength. I love the dictionary. Sustaining my body, mind, and spirit is built on healthy thoughts, words, and actions. It includes all that feeds me. Today, the fridge gets cleaned out of “holiday” leftovers and will be filled with easy to fix nutritious food. The campus studio will be prepared for a mid-week critique as I finish up work then prepare art to be moved home. This is all sustained by an incredible Life Force, a gift from my Higher Power, living in and through me, and connecting to community. Thank You.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
