Rounding a Corner

What a week! I don't know if it was because I got the second shot of the vaccination or Spring weather, but I got a lot accomplished. Most of all one night I got a really good amount of quality sleep. I seem to be looking forward more, instead of behind me. I am really glad I didn't get a reaction from the shot and was able to see my son perform a sold out show at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, NJ. I put air in my bicycle tires, went for a few bicycle rides, got my oil changed in my car, got a new phone and traded in my old one, went for an eye exam and will get a pair of readers and one for distance while driving, and went to Atlantic City twice. I also signed up as a partner for Trades of Hope and ended my 100 day project at day 90. I don't feel bad ending it at day 90 and it could be why I got so much done last week. It doesn't really matter, and that is why I stopped. What does matter is that I have something productive to focus on. I am looking forward to be able to share a company started by women and for women. It is a fair trade company bringing jewelry, handbags, scarves and gifts made by artisans from all over the world. It is a great opportunity for so me to share with you a company you may have never known about. I love to buy something handmade when I travel. Wednesday is the first introduction party. I will be posting some sneek peeks on facebook and instagram. The party will be virtual in a group on facebook. I hope you can join me. I also set up a link tree with links to all my sites here: https://linktr.ee/greetingsfromgeralyn2020@gmail.com you can just press one of the buttons to get to any of my pages. Quote for the day: To improve the golden moment of opportunity, and catch the good that is within our reach, is the great art of life. Samuel Johnson. STILL my favorite quote, it just says it all and really helps me move forward Song of the day: It's Alright Jon Batiste Oscar winner for Soul for Disney (loved this movie and watched it the day it came out) This is the performance from American Idol last night!

A new dawn.....a new day

 I love Sunday mornings.  I love to reflect on the past week and look forward to the start of another.  What I learned this week painting, was what working on the minis, made me realize.  The first one I was looking at the flower more while painting and by the third I felt more free and the brush just took me to the painting.  I was in more of a flow.  So, the more time I take, the less I had to think about it, and could just enjoy it happening.  Like life, right? I learned from the computer there is a park in Roosevelt Island called Four Freedoms and currently has a staircase covered in a huge image of sunflowers in a field celebrating the 100th year of the womens' vote. It is also in Eleanor Roosevelt's honor.  So, I'll be sharing a lot of her quotes.  It was a good week for Ian as he was featured in a cover story in the Tri-City news.  Kaylyn  is busy working and taking good care of my grandson.  He is growing fast and has six big painful teeth already!   Love seeing all

Two Hearts Are Better Then One

Then in the beat of a heartbeat, (well, really two) our whole world changed.  Our world became a whirlwind.  We lived in the town where we went to high school.  We owned two homes in town and the one we lived in had a pool.  Our children were involved in every recreational sport they could join.  And, there was chorus, band concerts, and school plays to attend.  It was the good life.  I remember how emotional I would get at many shows.  I cried like a baby the first one.  Their recorder concert was another story.   Out of anyone in my family, I knew my dad would really enjoy it.  He was in the middle stages of Alzhiemers and I had to get up several times to bring him back to our seats.  That was the last show he attended.  We lost my dad when my children were eleven.  My mom and brother joined us every holiday.  We rarely went out unless we could walk there, and be close by.  And, we would go to fundraisers.  By the time the children were two, we were able to go on  cruises, and many

My World in Blue and White Project

This is a blog post about the first three months of 2021 during a pandemic. I am a work in process and have learned most of all the importance of living in the moment. I have learned a LOT from doing daily practices. Making goals in my Ebay shop. Learning about Women Artists and taking some classes. Clearing out the past of "stuff" in my basement. And, best of all being the best "4 year old self" possible. I am going to list Five links of Women who have influenced me the most in living life in the moment and creating daily practices. Their resources are mostly free and have endless amounts of inspiration. My main goal is to do this with the resources I already have on hand and keep the costs down as much as possible. I strayed away a little bit and it really taught me that is ok. Just learn from it and move on. I start my day with resources on the computer. Here are the five sites I use the most. I also have been able to take free workshops through z
