Before I share these new page of my journey . . .

I would love to invite you into something very close to my heart . . .

 

Little pieces of my story . . . .

Little fragments of my dreams . . . . . .

🎹✨ The orchestra is beginning to play ✨🎻

Album: ✨🌌 Waterfalls of Dreams . . . . 🌌 ✨

  

If you feel called to listen,

I hope you will find a little piece of yourself somewhere within it. ✨💛

 

Each song tells a different part of the journey.

Each melody carries a memory.

Each notebecame a piece of the story.

 

Sometimes life closes a chapter . . .

 

not to take something away . . .

 

but to make space for something new.

 

Looking back, I see so many moments,

so many lessons,

so many dreams that carried me further than I ever imagined.

 

And today . . .

 

my heart is simply filled with gratitude.

 

For every beginning.

For every ending.

For every person who became part of my story.

 

Waterfalls of Dreams exists again . . .

 

and somehow it feels like coming home.

 

A new book . . .

A new chapter . . .

A new beginning . . .

blessed to still be dreaming. ✨💛

 

Lasst uns die Reise fortsetzen . . .

Heute mit diesem Song: The River Flows Within Me – Orchestra Version

 

Bevor ich euch diese neuen Seite meiner Reise zeige . . .

 

möchte ich euch gerne an etwas teilhaben lassen, das mir sehr am Herzen liegt . . .

 

Kleine Stücke meiner Geschichte . . .

Kleine Fragmente meiner Träume . . .

 

Doch nun verändert sich etwas . . .

 

🎹✨ Das Orchester erhebt seine Stimme ✨🎻

 

Die Melodien finden zueinander . . .

 

Die Erinnerungen verweben sich zu einem Ganzen . . .

 

Und die Reise wird zu etwas Größerem als einem einzelnen Lied . . .

 

Zu einer Geschichte aus Erinnerungen, Träumen und all den Wegen, die mich hierher geführt haben . . . ✨💛✨🎻🎹✨

 

Lasst uns die Reise fortsetzen . . .

Tag für Tag werdet ihr mehr darüber erfahren – viel Spaß dabei . . .

 

In den letzten Monaten hab ich ein Album erschaffen, es heisst

 

💛✨ Waterfalls of Dreams ✨💛

 

Wenn du das Gefühl hast, dass du hinein hören möchtest,

hoffe ich, dass du darin irgendwo ein kleines Stück von dir selbst findest. ✨💛

 

Jedes Lied erzählt einen anderen Abschnitt der Reise.

Jede Melodie trägt eine Erinnerung in sich.

Jede Note wurde zu einem Teil der Geschichte.

 

Manchmal schließt das Leben ein Kapitel . . .

 

nicht um etwas wegzunehmen . . .

 

sondern um Platz für etwas Neues zu schaffen.

 

Wenn ich zurückblicke, sehe ich so viele Momente,

so viele Lektionen,

so viele Träume, die mich weitergetragen haben, als ich es je für möglich gehalten hätte.

 

Und heute . . .

 

ist mein Herz einfach voller Dankbarkeit.

 

Für jeden Anfang.

Für jedes Ende.

Für jeden Menschen, der ein Teil meiner Geschichte geworden ist.

 

Waterfalls of Dreams existiert wieder . . .

 

und irgendwie fühlt es sich an wie Heimkommen.

 

Ein neues Buch . . .

Ein neues Kapitel . . .

Ein neuer Anfang . . .

 

Ich fühle mich gesegnet.

 

Gesegnet durch die Reise.

Gesegnet durch die Menschen, die mich begleitet haben.

Gesegnet durch die Schönheit, die selbst in schweren Momenten zu finden war.

 

Und vor allem . . .

 

gesegnet, noch immer träumen zu können. ✨💛

Most of life is lived in transition.

 

Not at the beginning of things.

Not at the end.

 

But somewhere in between.

 

Between certainty and doubt.

Between who we were and who we hope to become.

Between the stories we’ve outgrown and the ones we have yet to write.

 

Perhaps that’s why certain strangers linger in memory.

 

Not because they appear complete,

but because they don’t.

 

There is something deeply human about unfinishedness.

 

The way we continue changing,

continue searching,

continue carrying both confidence and uncertainty at the same time.

 

No one arrives fully formed.

 

We are all, in one way or another,

still becoming.

Meine Malerei ausgestellt:

 

1991-04, Sie Wicht, Sie wichtiger, 300 x 230 cm, Kopiedruck auf Leinwand

1991-04, you little man, you are important, 300 x 230 cm, copy print on canvas

 

Dies ist nicht nur ein Wortspiel. Der Satz weist darauf hin, dass jeder Mensch und jedes Wesen, jeder Gegenstand auf der Erde wichtig ist, geachtet und anerkannt werden sollte - ohne Rücksicht auf Aussehen, Religion, Volkszugehörigkeit, Reichtum. Die Erde selbst ist klein und so wichtig für uns kleine Menschen.

 

This is not just a play on words. The phrase indicates that every person and every creature, every object on Earth is important, should be respected and recognized - regardless of appearance, religion, ethnicity, wealth, riches. The earth itself is small and so important for us little people.

There’s a line in Ted Lasso about the difference between judging and being curious, and honestly, it should come printed on coffee mugs, T‑shirts, and maybe a few foreheads. Most people walk around acting like they’ve already downloaded the full expansion pack of life. They hear one detail and go, “Ah yes, I know exactly who you are.”

 

Spoiler: they don’t.

 

Curiosity, though? Curiosity is a whole different vibe.

 

Curiosity says, “Tell me more,” instead of “I’ve decided everything about you in the last three seconds.”

 

Curiosity leans in. Judgment leans back.

 

Curiosity opens doors.

 

Judgment labels the door, files it alphabetically, and never walks through it.

 

And the wild thing is - curiosity is actually more fun.

It makes the world bigger, weirder, and way more interesting. It turns everyday moments into little discoveries. It keeps you learning instead of calcifying into the human equivalent of a dusty encyclopedia set.

 

Being curious doesn’t mean you’re clueless. It means you’re paying attention. It means you’re willing to be surprised. It means you’re not afraid to admit you don’t know everything - which, ironically, is the fastest way to learn anything.

 

So here’s to choosing curiosity over the cheap thrill of being “right.”

 

Here’s to asking questions instead of making assumptions.

Here’s to staying open, playful, and teachable - even when life gets rainy, blurry, or downright confusing.

 

Because the people who stay curious don’t just understand the world better.

 

They enjoy it more.

I think any black woman is a queen.

It's just, do you know it? Do you see it in yourself?

Do you recognize it, do you abide by that?

Do you define yourself as that?

 

Based on who we are and what we've been through...

How we survive + where we stand, we are on sacred ground.

We stand on the backs of our ancestors.

 

Thanks Karoline, for inviting me to pose with you 💖

We escape reality not to reject it, but to breathe within it. In the rush of obligations and noise, we seek refuge—whether in art, music, nature, or quiet moments that slow time. These escapes offer clarity, untangling thoughts and easing burdens, reminding us that life is more than demands.

 

Stepping away renews us, giving perspective and space to dream. Reality Escape is the bridge between exhaustion and restoration, where the weight of the world dissolves, if only for a moment. In that pause, we rediscover who we truly are.

Das Gemälde ist eine Anspielung auf die damals notwendige Überlegung zur Selbstfindung. Mein Zimmer sollte mir Geborgenheit geben. Aber ich, durch die tägliche Arbeit im Beruf gefangen, musste die Wand durchbrechen, das Zimmer es verlassen. Das Suchen nach dem Sinn und den Möglichkeiten meiner Malerei wurde zu einer wichtigen Arbeit, die gelingen sollte. Dieses Gemälde war eine Hilfe.

 

This painting is an allusion to the time necessary consideration to self-discovery. My room should give me security. But I, trapped by the daily work in my job, had to break through the wall, leaving the room there. The search for meaning and the possibilities of my painting became an important work that should succeed. This painting was a help.

 

Außerdem könnte mein Zimmer auch für jeden sein Zimmer bedeuten und seine Anstrengung zum Leben.

In addition, my room might mean for each his own room and his effort to live.

Sometimes, you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes, in the middle of nowhere you find yourself.

1992-08, Freiklingeln, 95 x 70 cm, Acryl auf Hartplatte.

1992-08, Free ringing, 37 x 27 inch, acrylic on hardboard.

 

Zimmer hier. Leer, frei, besetzt, voll.

Man könnte da klingeln, was man wünscht.

 

Rooms here. Empty, free, busy, full.

You could ring the bell there, which one wishes.

I ascribed to Iyanla Vazant ( www.amandashome.com/cried.html ) when she said:

 

" I cried for all the things I had given, only to have them stolen;

for all the things I had asked for that had yet to show up;

for all the things I had accomplished, only to give them away,

to people in circumstances, which left me feeling empty,

and battered and plain, old and used "

 

But that was Yesterday.

Today, I am reborn. No more the weak, the meek, the downtrodden.

I've discovered how strong I can be in the face of injustice, humiliation and torment.

That strength came from giving up values that I previously nurtured in my soul.

 

 

Marqs sat quietly on the step, mulling over the address of the coffee shop and the word that kept echoing in his mind: "je t’aime." The address—314 Eagan Way—felt almost poetic, the numbers resonating with the concept of pi, 3.14, and its infinite nature. Its endless decimals mirrored the boundless and often irrational essence of love. Yet as Marqs pondered this connection, the weight of his own finite past pressed heavily against him.

 

He had faltered before—moments etched in memory where he’d failed, relationships fractured by his weaknesses. These moments had a way of creeping up on him, paralyzing him that he might have destroyed all chance of happiness and love, and perhaps even that he did not deserve the chance.

 

But something about pi’s infinite nature tugged at him, whispering that the story wasn’t over, that the decimals kept rolling forward. Imperfections didn’t mean the circle couldn’t complete itself. He knew that to move forward he couldn’t let his past mistakes drown out the hope of connection, of growth, of healing—and of love.

 

"Je t’aime," Marqs murmured, the words carrying a quiet promise to himself as much as an affirmation of what lay ahead. Rising from the step, he set his gaze on Eagan Way. His stride wasn’t perfect—it faltered under the weight of his past—but it was determined. The coffee shop awaited, and Marqs moved forward to embrace what lay ahead.

 

First Coffee

 

Back to December

Not your Barbie girl, I don’t play nice, Too much fire, too much spice. 🔥✨

 

Neon glows, I shine too bright, Break the mold, rewrite the fight.

 

You want perfect? I’m too wild, Sugarcoated ain't my style. 🍬💥

 

No fake smiles, no quiet game, I take up space, I make my name.

 

Plastic world? Not my scene, Dripping colors, neon queen. 🌈👑

 

So keep watching, stare all day, But you can’t mold me your own way.

 

I glow fierce, I break the mold, Too untamed to be controlled.

Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

 

C.G. Jung

  

Tulips were introduced to the Western world by the Viennese ambassador to Turkey, Augier Ghislain de Busbecq, who wrote of seeing the plants in Edirne, Turkey, in 1551 and who later sent some seeds to Austria. The arrival at Antwerp in 1562 of a cargo of tulip bulbs from Constantinople (now Istanbul) marked the beginning of the tulip horticultural industry in Europe. A speculative frenzy over tulips in the Netherlands in 1633–37 is now known as the Tulip Mania.

I'm currently reading Jonathan Raban's Passage to Juneau, so I am referencing it in this image I guess, although I'd been given the book just as I set off for my trip. Raban's book is a great read. “I had a boat, most of a spring and summer, a cargo of books and the kind of dream of self-enrichment that spurs everyone who sails north from Seattle...”

 

“Forget the herring and the salmon: I meant to go fishing for reflections, and come back with a glittering haul. Other people’s reflections, as I thought then. I wasn’t prepared for the catch I eventually made.”

this has been quite a year so far of self discovery for me. i guess some may call it a mid life crisis of sorts. i have always been creative in one way or the other.... but just couldn't find my niche. i grew up watching my mom sew, and was never interested.... until this year. my mom gave me the best gift ever - a sewing machine, for my birthday, and i've been tinkering with it ever since, really only getting serious about it this past couple months. i have never felt more like myself.... ever. last night my sewing machine broke - totally seized up. i was LOST. i didn't know what to do. i felt like my friend had just abandoned me. ha! well, after some very wise advice from some fellow etsians, and some help from my husband, i got it up and running today.

 

so..... sewing machine... i promise to love you, and hug you, and pat you, and take care of you, and oil you... yes, oil you..... ;-)

Chakra 1 - Challenges that can waken your Root Chakra include travel, illness, financial problems, or anything else that threatens your sense of security.

 

An underactive root may manifest itself in weight gain, sluggishness, low self-esteem and worry..

 

Sings of an overactive Root Chakra include preoccupation with money and shopping, as well as an excessive need for control

 

Chakra # 7

Hyperactivity in this chakra manifests itself in over-intellectualism, delusions of grandeur, even psychosis. Signs of deficient energy are difficulty thinking for yourself, apathy, and spiritual disconnection.

  

$$ - Random fact about me.... After I graduated from high school, got my associates degree in paralegal studies and started working in a collection law firm down town. I worked there for 6 years.

Know your Exits

Emerging from the dim light of the underpass, where the city's heartbeat pulses faintly against the cold concrete, everyone seems lost in their thoughts. What paths lay ahead of you? This direction is not just a way out of my place of shadows and echoes but a chance to make an existential choice. Exits in my urban chasm are not merely roads and streets; they are the decisions that define me, the moments of truth where my very being is distilled into action.

 

As I ponder existence and essence, I question whether freedom of choice is the most authentic expression. My choice carves a path that leads me back to the same variant of existence, and I never seem to leave. What are the invisible threads that connect my choices to a predetermined destiny?

 

I take a step forward with a deep breath, embracing the uncertainty that ensures my return. Lost in the labyrinthine streets, shadowed alleys, and false exits, I promise myself liberation and self-discovery as I take the next step that could redefine me.

In addition, my room might mean for each his own room and his effort to live.

1939, a nameless man in a nameless city somewhere in Europe carries out his quiet, ordinary life. Once World War II is about to break, his hometown is no longer a safe place. Strange woodland landscapes slowly show up in his mind, till a point where dreams and reality merge into a reborn existence…

Testing the waters isn’t just about decisions—it’s about understanding what feels right. It’s the moment when uncertainty begins to clear, revealing whether a path excites, soothes, or unsettles.

 

In relationships, it means recognizing whether a connection truly aligns with your emotions. Do you feel safe, seen, and understood? Or is something holding you back? That quiet tug—whether pulling you closer or urging you away—speaks volumes.

 

Clarity doesn’t always arrive with certainty—it often comes in whispers, nudges, and quiet revelations. But when you truly listen, it tells you everything.

Wissen Sie, dass mein Zimmer zu finden mir ganz, ganz wichtig ist?

Do you know that to find mein Zimmer (my room, my art) to me, is very very important.

 

Außerdem könnte mein Zimmer auch für jeden sein Zimmer bedeuten und seine Anstrengung zum Leben.

In addition, my room might mean for each his own room and his effort to live.

Take my hand

You know I`ll be there

If you can I`ll cross the sky

For your love

Give you what I hold dear

 

Hold on, hold on tightly

Hold on, hold on tightly

Rise up, rise up

With wings like eagles

You`ll run, you`ll run

You`ll run and not grow weary

My obsession with song lyrics continues. Cliche? Everyone does a photo like this, but not like mine! So, yeah, you may have noticed from some of my other pictures that I was born with this different right hand. I used to try to hide it. No more. It is part of who I am. I am used to the stares, the questions, the comments that people think I don't hear. The one thing that still bothers me is when I meet someone new. They enthusiastically stick out their hand (always the right) to shake. When I try to reciprocate, they either pull their hand back or grab me by the arm. Take my hand, dammit, it ain't gonna bite you!
