New Year, New Possibilities. My Top 5

February 2, 2021 Jolley1 Comment

There is something that I love about a new year. I love the idea that there are so many possibilities that exist. For me it’s not about setting goals or resolutions but instead to be open to what could be. As January came to a close, I thought about what transpired and what insights that… Continue reading New Year, New Possibilities. My Top 5

Why do we do it?

August 6, 2018 Jolley1 Comment

Why do we do it? Why do we deny ourselves something that we know is good for our soul? Is it because we are afraid, uncertain, or just stubborn? Today I took myself down to the San Diego Museum of Art. I’ve been wanting to go for awhile and there never seemed like a good… Continue reading Why do we do it?

Hi ya’ll! I’m now living in San Diego, CA, the city where the sun is always shinning. There is so much to do and so much to explore. If you love to workout and eat good food this is the city for you.

Being Patient

March 16, 2018March 16, 2018 JolleyImageLeave a comment

That’s a picture of my Dad and I at my wedding last year. I think it was the last time he looked his healthiest. Since that time we, as a family decided to place him in a care facility. His care became too much for my Mom to handle on her own. It was a… Continue reading Being Patient

I’m sitting on my back patio looking out across my yard. The sunshine is warm on my face, it’s rays soaking into the layers of my clothes. It’s windy out , a warmer afternoon in November and I am reminded of sitting on the patio of my childhood home. I wonder in this moment about… Continue reading Attachments

How to Decide

October 3, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

How do you decide what the best solution is when that decision concerns someone else?  I’ve been thinking a lot about these questions since my Dad’s Alzheimer’s has gotten worse since this past March. My mind has been a swirl of thoughts, emotions, hope, and despair. I’ve wanted to write about this experience many times… Continue reading How to Decide

Back with my Stitch Obsession

July 20, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

It’s official. I’m obsessed with Cross Stitch yet again. I left this hobbie untouched for many years as I focused on other creative pursuits like painting, drawing, metal work and sewing. I’ve come to accept though that painting is no longer my main obsession. I think painting and I have broken up. It was hard,… Continue reading Back with my Stitch Obsession

Toby, Tudor & Duke

July 7, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

I wrote a post back in April (Home Renovation & a Puppy) announcing the arrival of our new puppy whom we decided to name Duke. He has grown quite a bit since then. He is very loving with lots of energy. I caught this picture of him in a calm moment in our living room.… Continue reading Toby, Tudor & Duke

Daydreams and Pencils

June 5, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

Lately I’ve been daydreaming of my artwork, the work I was so heavily immersed in just 5 short years ago. Painting and drawing was my thing. I rarely make time for drawing these days and I always find my way back to it knowing that I will always be a maker of some sorts. Even… Continue reading Daydreams and Pencils

Renovation & a Pup

May 21, 2017 Jolley1 Comment

We moved. We’ve unpacked. Actually we are still unpacking. The renovation has begun. We are painting and stripping wallpaper and pulling up the carpet. It’s exhausting and exhilarating. We’ve just about set up our kitchen, bedroom and our closet and the t.v. Our couches are underneath drop clothes so we’ve been sitting on green plastic… Continue reading Renovation & a Pup
