Stay Sane - Make Art

Most of us have been self-isolating for weeks. My office reduced hours and furloughed personnel back in March, so it has been more than 8 weeks of this new reality.  I am working every third week. It is strange.

Last month Bustle published this article: Making art helps your mental health 

Are you working from home?  Have you been furloughed?  How do you stay focused and productive?  Please share your strategies.

Daily Calm in a Jumbled World

Hi friends.  I know this is tough. I hope you are finding a place of joy and happiness in your home. I have been doing daily projects from making fabric masks for donation to painting and watching inspirational podcasts. Oprah's Super Soul Conversation series are excellent.

My studio is my happy place where I am at peace focusing on creativity. Today the rain on the roof provides an extra pleasant sense of tranquility.  

My word for 2020 is Connection. And although we are social distancing I can continue to communicate through letter writing, phone calls and texts, and of course social media. 

I am grateful to be home with my dear husband, Dominick, and our cat, Matilda. We are safe and have food, books, internet and art supplies.
