A New Beginning
As you know, I truly enjoy the beautiful art of poetry; it is one of my favorite forms of expressing myself! So, here’s a treat for you! 😀
Rainbow over Mars – May, 2018
A New Beginning.
After the rain
comes a rainbow.
After the storm
comes the calm.
After the dark clouds
comes the bright sunshine.
After the ending
comes a new beginning.

It is never, ever, ever too late
for a new beginning.
Cheers & Hugs,

Learning To Draw With Udemy
Simply draw for the love of drawing, you don’t need a reason why. 🙂 Recently, I signed up for an online drawing class to learn more about this creative art and to also hone my own skills too. From this ongoing experience, I’ve learned some surprising things along the way that I’m happy to share with all of you! First of all, the course I signed up for is called The Ultimate Drawing Course – Beginner to Advanced by Jaysen Batchelor and Quinton Batchelor. This course is available on Udemy.com and it is around $14.99–just a heads-up, don’t worry about the ticking timer that says you only have a certain amount of time left to buy the course at this price, it has been available at $14.99, every day, for months. With that being said, what I most enjoy about this class is that it aims to assist those who haven’t had any drawing lessons (like me) progress and learn the different techniques of this art form from novice to expert.

A Little Something to Ponder
In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on. -Robert Frost
For this post, I wanted to share with you some wonderful poetry that I’ve recently been admiring. The author of this delightful poetry is none other than Robert Frost. He is someone I remember learning about in school, but once I finished the required literature classes I never again thought about him…until now. Lately, I’ve rekindled an interest in poetry by creating a new blog page where I share my writings, thoughts and discoveries with you. It is an activity that I’ve found very rewarding, calming and purifying. And because of these experiences, I’ve been learning about other poets–modern and not-so-modern. Eventually, in my readings, I came upon a familiar poem I haven’t read in years called “The Road Not Taken.” It is a poem filled with wisdom, imagery and lessons learned along the way:
