Remember the credo of Walt Disney~ Think, Believe, Dream, Dare. Basically, it's all about avoiding the winter blahs, cabin fever and in general , the "I've been cooped up inside too long blues!" I do this every year after Christmas, clearing away the rubble and glitter of the season, and going through all the closets and cupboards so that everything has a place and everything is in its place. Remember that nothing important was ever achieved without someone's taking a chance. One of my goals is to create an herb garden Remember that nobody who ever gave his best regretted it. ~George Halas. Today, which is bright and shiny, is still very cold, and so indoor activities continue to rule my days. The sky last night was just lovely. A full moon glittered the edges of the few clouds, all silvery, slightly haunting , but still beautiful. When you see the sun rising in the morning, and it makes the winter trees glow rose gold, give thanks for this perfect moment in time. Never forget that regardless of where you are on life's journey, something unexpected and amazing can lie just around the bend Wishing you a very Happy and Healthy New Year

Paintings can speak a thousand words. It is famously quoted that painting, are a mirror of the soul of the painter. Whatever the painter feels or goes through comes out in the form of his/her art and paintings. Painting is by nature, a luminous language in itself. Paul Cezanne quoted – “Don’t be an art critic. Paint. There lies Salvation”. Painting is a part of the painter’s personality. And when it is almost time for the winters to set in, how can we not talk about winter paintings. After all, best paintings are the ones that portrays nature and then becomes worthier. And the serenity a painter feels while observing a robin singing as the snow falls, that is when he puts his heart in such Original Winter Paintings on Canvas and brings life to that moment.

Last October, I posted a movie house tour featuring one of my favorite comedy movies, The Burbs, starring Tom Hanks and Carrie Fischer. The Burbs is a fun movie to watch around Halloween time. It's not scary or gory, just mysterious and funny. (Tour that movie house here: The Burbs.) When I posted about The Burbs, several folks suggested I post a tour of the Victorian house in the movie, Practical Magic. I couldn't wait to watch the movie to see the house. The movie, Practical Magic is based on the book of the same name by author Alice
