With Gratitude...


In memory of those who perished and their loved ones today, on the seventh anniversary of 9/11. With tremendous gratitude to our troops who are a living example of love and bravery - the men and women protecting our nation and fighting for our freedom so that others might be free.

More Paint


In late August, I grieved the loss of a great roommate - she's totally fine, just had a fun opportunity to move in with a good friend IN (!) the city - and the loss of a paint color I loved. The room she lived in has housed quite the variety of women since I moved into my place four years ago. Roommates have come and gone like the weather changes in New England. And, each was a sad goodbye in its own way.

Saying farewell to my latest roommate also meant saying adieu to my favorite wall color in the house. I couldn't help capturing the change as I reflected on the people that have lived in the room - I was a little sentimental about the color because of the friend and former roommate that chose it a couple years back. Here's a pic of the progress I made in painting over the gorgeous blue for my new roommate who desired green instead. I call it, "Transitions."
