Dear Life, I recently fell in love with this guy, Medic Bunny, and bought him home from an artist’s studio. He hangs around my home studio reminding me of radiant health, joy, love and living a hopping good life. I have desired a “partner” for many years. He’s such a character and so easy to live with. I am smiling ear to ear.

Dear Life, I flew home yesterday after a great vacation in Arizona where I visited a childhood friend. It was a short but perfect stay. We uplifted Esther’s home and hair. Got the energy flowing. Today I am ready to uplift the energy in my living space. With my feet on the ground, I affirm, Movement Is Life.

Above The Clouds 05.16.2024
Dear Life, Completed Major Projects class. I displayed 20 drawings and 20 paintings along with two large drawings made in 5 weeks. It was the first time I saw all the work together. It went up and came down in 30 minutes. Received strong, positive feedback. Another body of work will begin next week. Today bloodwork and oncologist appointment then tomorrow a 5 hour infusion treatment and art opening. The life of an artist and cancer patient intermingled, continuous and carried by grace.

PRM Drawings and Paintings 05.06.2024
Dear Life, May is my birthday month. I feel reflective. I am re-minded of the good life I’ve had as an artist working in studios and institutions. This week I complete first semester of classes at the community college. Critiques are Monday and Tuesday. Then Wednesday and Thursday bloodwork, oncologist, and infusion. Today I’m going to an Art Studio Tour then eat dinner and play cards with the “Sharks”. Art, friendship, fun, and life.

Dear Life, There’s a lot of activity in my drawings and paintings. My creative energy is expressive. My body feels healthy. My mind is mostly cooperative. It does like to pick up a “topic” and run it around the field a few times. Ah, the active mind of a Gemini! I was awake with the sunrise feeling positive anticipation. What new “invitations” will be offered today? I wholeheartedly say YES to Life.

Dear Life, I received an email on Saturday from my former husband acknowledging the “many glorious years” we shared. I’ve said about marriage and divorce that we had a good marriage until we didn’t. Then we moved on. The end was messy. Change usually is messy as emotions get a chiropractic adjustment into a new life. I learned to make it through the mess.

Dear Life, Two years ago, Anne Lamott met her husband through OUR TIME, the online dating service for the mature audience. I was so inspired, I wrote a personal profile, added recent pictures, and jumped on the site fully expecting to meet mine. I am laughing while writing to you from my loft, living alone, and wondering, how does that work?!? and during COVID?!? Feeling like a teenager with Spring Fever.
Yours Truly, Pamela
Dear Life, I am happy for the snow in Santa Fe. We have been in a drought so need every inch of precipitation. While it snowed, I walked to a nearby store. Bought a Spring denim dress and sunglasses. Retail Winter Therapy. I am ready!
