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!

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!

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.

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!

Watercolor on Yupo Paper 04.16.2025
Dear Life, I visited New Mexico in 1990. This photo said, “your life is about to change”. I was living and working in New York City with no intention of moving but LIFE had other ideas. June 1991, my job at Fashion Institute of Technology ended. I took a leap of faith and decided to checkout Santa Fe. I shipped books and art supplies. Everything else was gifted to a young couple who were moving into NYC. Paying it forward. I landed in my Soul’s Home. Today, I smile as I remember. Lighten Up.

PRM at Ojo Caliente, 1990
Dear Life, Happy Me! I was reunited with my daughter in 2020 after she was released for adoption in 1968. After 50 years of searching, I put my DNA on Ancestry.com. Tracy found me the on the same day I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma. Mother love surged through me and my life force has defied the odds. I am here, healthy, and celebrating our love. Another gift: my mother got to meet Tracy and have a relationship before Mom died in Aug 2024. To all mother’s and families, miracles happen. Keep the faith and love one another. Feeling lucky!
Your’s Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, “I promise never to leave my voice and heart in the past again”. This “promise” was painted five years ago. I am going through my storage bins, remembering the past is necessary for self-awareness. Letting go is essential for moving forward. Found some treasures that now have a place in my home. Other things, as beautiful as they are, can be a gifted treasure for someone else. I am blossoming.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
