   I think my passion is learning. I love to explore and experience through learning. Paint room, sew something, read about a new subject, travel, meet new people. I saw your web interview Texas Art and Soul. What a treat! It was nice to see you (you are so pretty:) and hear your lovely voice. You say you are not an artist-I disagree! You have an artists painterly eye and “design” everything in your life! You are SO an artist.

   Nature. It’s my go-to for just about all circumstances.

   I love to cook and most of all to knit. It brings me great joy to see my hand knits being used by loved ones to keep themselves warm. It is like I am wrapping a little bit of God’s and my love around them.

   I want to translate more and more Portuguese writings into English, but there just aren’t enough hours in the day, and probably not enough years left, even if I make it to 105. So I have to pick and choose 😉

   Simple: creating, everything french or French culture, and, sailing! So, painting by the sea in the south of France sounds like the answer, n’est pas? Lol

   It would have to be books and reading. My current email signature has a quote attached: “To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all of the miseries of life.” — Somerset Maugham. Since I’m now retired, the most fun is “the hunt” — chasing estate sales, antiques markets, flea markets, etc., for that special something that you just can’ do without. Also getting top billing: my daughter, friends, and, hopefully, more travel.

   Excuse my typo …. I intended to say ….. “that special something that you just CAN’T do without.” 🙂

   My passion is definitely nature and all that surrounds us. But more than just that, I am passionate about my children growing up and appreciating what is so often taken for granted, a 200 year old tree, the seasons; plant life dormant in the winter and bursting to life in the summer. In an age so filled with electronics it is vital children take a little while just to look and listen – that’s the easy part, the hard part is then getting them to appreciate all they see and hear!!!

   One of my big passions is music. Bringing my children to their music school, listening to music being played and practiced, helped me to get through some very difficult times. It felt like angels surrounded me and hugged me and whispered in my ears that everything is going to be OK.
   Corey, when you talk about your dad, my heart melts, what an exceptional man.
   It was 7 years ago about this time of a year when I stumbled upon your blog, while searching desperately anything about France.

    My passion is seeing and looking at: Art, nature, people, movies, books, magazines, interiors, exteriors, Paris, San Francisco, food, the sun, the moon, fashion; just seeing and looking at what is in front of me and all around me.

    For me it’s weaving. I love to work with color, pattern and fiber. It’s really my zen. There’s a rhythm to weaving and it’s always a challenge. I will never not be amazed that I can take thread and make cloth! I have 3 looms which may seem like a lot, but I know weavers who like me don’t have a studio, but have looms all over the house.
