Nightmarre
Dare to dream, a theme that creates a dilemma for me. I am a realistic person, who does not chase big dreams and hardly does self-reflection, like Christie. It is a form of recognition, which makes me joyful. Unlike Christie, I am not very impulsive and spontaneously do things that
Dare to Dream
When I was young, before I was married, after work, I would ride the bus, to night classes at college I used to daydream on the journey, sitting on the top deck where I had a good view along the way I’d dream about what the future might hold for
The Butterfly Dream
To me, at first, ‘Dare to dream’ can be taken to mean “Have the courage to pursue your dreams.”But the phrase also whispers something else to me:“Do not fear change.” And with that, Zhuangzi’s ancient parable,The Butterfly Dream, came to mind. One day, Zhuangzi dreams that he has become a
Revolutie vs Rotatie
Janine has already told us that Revolution and Rotation have a common origin in Latin. Jacque’s poignant opinion has opened the eyes of all of us, I think, to what is going on in America at the moment. At the time, we didn’t know anything about the terrible meeting

A New Prompt- Change of Language
My first experience with a Change of Language was when, as a newlywed, we traveled to Jordan to meet my in-laws. My husband’s family is large, and since everyone wanted to see and meet the new English bride, there were several large gatherings. Initially, it was incredibly overwhelming. On top
Change of Mind with Meditation
This year, I embarked on a journey to try many new (to me) things, such as acupuncture, wild cold-water swimming, and ice baths. One of the first things I tried was guided breathwork meditation. I admit, I was very sceptical at first. Over the years, I’ve had many false starts

In modern society, where the use of loose change is declining, it is true that the physical presence of small coin is diminishing due to the spread of digital payment methods and the decrease in cash usage. However, in some ways, their value remains important.Loose change is connected to human
Colour Blind
At the time I was making this piece I was pondering the very real disability of colour blindness, which is present in some of the males in our family. The piece began life as an blue Ikea upholstery fabric and a bottle of Clorox bleach. It was the strange year
Color is about Perception
My fascination with color led me to Bauhaus designer and artist Josef Albers. He experimented extensively with the interactions of color and how the perception of them can change it. Scientists know, people perceive color differently and it changes from one person to the next. Many will remember the controversy
