Time to read

On March 25, 2020 By athurber43In Creating, Learning something newLeave a comment

Whether we like it or not, that's what a lot of us have on our hands, time to read. We should also be thinking of making time to create, because our brains are surely craving that. I read this. I will read this again. I signed up for the newsletter. I think you should, too. …

Burn your limitations

This past week in yoga class we learned about the third chakra; Manipura, the lustrous gem, the solar plexus, the center of personal power. We talked about our inner fire being a gold, bright light, and our teacher said the most amazing thing: "throw your limitations into the fire". Whoa. Just throw 'em in. Let …

"I am always doing what I cannot yet do, in order to learn how to it." -- Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) Look who got a new laptop and now has one of those funky stylus doohickeys so I can draw on my computer!  Many miles to go before I sleep, but I am already imagining …

Assumptions

Do not assume you know everything.  Do not assume you know nothing.  Have truer words ever been spoken? We continue our series on strength in yoga class, and this statement was shared as part of a larger piece of poetry.  I am embracing it this week, not just in my art practice, but at work, …

There and back again

On April 6, 2018 By athurber43In Learning something newLeave a comment

I've traveled.  I've aged.  I've created.  All since the last time we spoke!  The highlight reel includes a trip to Philadelphia for the Public Library Association conference, delayed by Winter Storm Toby, but thoroughly enjoyed. I found so much inspiration at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.  I was refilled by just walking through, maybe they …

Exploring strength, honoring the sun.

It's finally March!  It does my heart good to see the snow melting and the red wing black birds at the feeders.  I could do without seeing a winter's worth of Miss Thora's morning constitutionals when I open the front door, but . . .  Spring is a process, just like everything else. We started …

Wow!  Look at all the surprise guests at the opening!  I was so excited and happy to see each and every one of you.  Thank you from the bottom of my very full heart for coming out! Here's how the layout turned out: And here we are, looking cute and feeling artsy!

Yup, it’s February.

It snowed yesterday, a lot.  And a lot of snow means a lot of shoveling.  Just so you know, I love to shovel, I don't know why, I just do.  Maybe it's the meditative nature of the solitude, the push and scrape of the shovel on the ground, the strength I feel with every shovel …

A big announcement!

Starting this week, I am honored to be a visiting artist at Artistic Roots in Plymouth NH!  This is the first time I have been a visiting artist, and I can't really believe it.   Artistic Roots is a cooperative non-profit art gallery and if you live any where near Plymouth, NH, you have to go.  …

You spilled water on your laptop and your backspace button doesn't work and shift now turns airplane mode on and off. Even if your truck door is frozen shut and you have to pour hot water on it to get it open. Even if this wipes out all the extra morning time you set aside …
