It's clear in my mind....
There is this house.... it is white. All white. The kitchen's white cabinets are glossy, shiny and bright. The kitchen door leads to the sunniest, brightest backyard. So bright it blinds me as I walk out. The living room is cozy, with a huge comfy L shaped sofa in a tan color and the fireplace is inviting and warm. The Family Room is dark blue like a clear summer night sky, and there are tiny little lights all over that look like yellow stars. There are games and fun things to play with. And wait!... it is on top of the hill overlooking the Hudson River by the Newburgh Beacon bridge. That's my dream house. It has lived in my head for the past 25 years. Very, very clear in my mind.




Every day I wake up wishing that my whole life would become as clear in my mind as my pretty house does. And every day I go to bed wishing I had followed through with much more than I did or I had been more organized or I wishing I had been a better person, mother, wife, friend, etc. Something does remain as clear as my pretty house. It is the fact that I KNOW I want to create art every day of my life. I want to capture moments that sometimes live in a vision inside my brain and I want to bring all those thoughts to reality. Why? Not for any specific reason but because it is what makes me absolutely soar.
When I capture those moments, it is absolute Magic. It gives me purpose. I go to bed knowing that I did exactly what I wanted on this day and that feeling is priceless.
I woke up a couple of weeks ago with a vision of what I wanted and I texted my sweet daughter in law to inquire about her plans for the day. When she said none, I asked to come take pictures of Ian. Spontaneous, last minute and just perfect.
Art waiting to happen. In my mind. Very clear.
