Love letter to Life 07.26.2025 Omaha Sunset

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I took this sunset photo from the 7th floor window of my hotel in downtown Omaha. Happy to be here and explore the Bemis Art Center Open Studios and city galleries. Will go to the Chihuly Glass Sanctuary, “the cornerstone of the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center Healing Arts Program; a place of respite and reflection for patients, families and staff.” This evening, have dinner with Alice, my Soul Coach since 2008, and who helps me navigate this wild and wonder-filled life.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, Tracy and I found my new Beloved in Maine where they serve lobster and soft-swirl ice cream cones. I am over the moon in love. Don’t quit before the miracle!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 07.08.2025 Golden Portland

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, The day was filled with beautiful people and places. Walking the Promenade, we met Richard Wilson, a well-known artist and treasure. Delicious baked goods and coffee at The Standard, lovely shops, an art store where, of course, I left with a big brush. Tacos and a siesta, a picnic for dinner at Fort Williams while Marimba music sang out over the ocean. “Golden light” moment at Bug Light, celebrating its 150th Birthday, capped a perfect day.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 06.30.2025 Joy and Peace

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I left Santa Fe on June 4th, 27 days ago, for my Treasures Road Trip. I’ve been to 14 states, including Amelia Island, FL, Annapolis MD, New Hope, PN, Cold Spring, NY, and with family in CT. Days are full with parties, the beach, visiting friends, and going to 12-step meetings in Westport where I got sober over 44 years ago. So many memorable moments. I am relaxing, too. My body’s DNA says, “We are home”. I get into the hammock and swing!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 06.20.2025 Beautiful Blossoms

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, Connecting with people and being creative is what I value in my life. Feeling the love, smiling into eyes, meeting someone new and adding them to the “treasures”. I had fun drawing with Violet at the kitchen table. Had lunch with Michelle and Arlene at Terrain Cafe in Westport, CT where I once lived. Each day as I walk up the stairwell to the guest bedroom, I see Arlene’s incredible family portrait gallery, a series she is working on. My mind, body and spirit are happy.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 06.18.2025 Family Treasures

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, Arlene’s home burst with “treasures” yesterday. My daughter, Tracy, visited. Arlene’s painting is from a photo taken the day Tracy and I met in 2021, a reunion after 50 years of separation. I was receiving chemotherapy and about to have Stem Cell Transplant for Lymphoma. The “little treasures” are the children of my niece, Kira, and her husband Rich. Meet Noah, DJ, Carolina, and Manny. Our family’s “adoption” stories are too many to be told here but are full of love and blessings. Happy to be “home”.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 6.16.2025 The “Treasures”

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, My road trip is now officially name “The Treasure Trip”. I am happily meeting people as I travel through cities and towns. Some are friends and family but many are new “treasures”. I tell them I am on a summer road trip. They beam when I ask “Can I take a photo? You are a treasure”. Making memorable moments for myself and others sharing the love.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 05.09..2025 A Promise

| Pamela Markoya

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
