The Day After Manitou Springs Carnivale Parade

Manitou Springs Carnivale was the second coldest. After a 50 degree sunny day on Friday, we awoke to snow, fog and very cold weather for Carnivale. But that didn’t keep the fans from lining up for the Gumbo Cook Off Tastings. And many fun people showed up to be in the parade. Too much preparation […]

The Day Before Manitou Springs Carnivale 2014

I am not as on track in my world as I usually am. I thought I was arriving for a meeting early, and I was actually late. Not sure how I twisted the time from 10 am to 10:30 after looking at the calendar last night. Luckily the ladies are very forgiving. I regaled them […]

Productive Day on the Computer But No Sales Day

I worked at the Commonwheel Artists Gallery all day. I prefer to do one long day a month rather than two half days. Although I got a lot of computer work done, very few people came into the Gallery, and no one bought anything!!! That is not a normal day for me. I easily engage […]

Two Urban Hikes Today One About Faith

I hiked over to the new home for Transition Town Manitou Springs with my Greek hiking friend. It is all about having faith. They are working on buying a half acre lot with a historic Victorian home on it that is in the flood path. The bridge was destroyed and water got very close to […]

Struggled with Feeling Exhasted All Day Long

An Early Morning contributed to feeling exhausted today. I had a 9 am meeting for the Creative District application I am helping get prepared for submission on March 4, 1014. Unfortunate, I hadn’t gotten to bed before midnight, so that meant for the 3rd night in a row, I didn’t get 8 hours of sleep. […]

The More I Do the Farther Behind I Seem to Get

Everything I get done, is something I don’t have to do in the future. Getting work done for other people and businesses is a good thing, but not really making progress in my own business. So I feel I am falling behind on my own work, but when some of these people, and the taxes, […]

Being Flexible and Open to Changes is Important to Enjoy Life

I had planned on a hike in Red Rocks Canyon today. But my hiking partner called and suggested a change of plans. At least she wasn’t calling to call off going on a hike. Just thought we should hike somewhere else. Some place new to her, and that we hadn’t hiked together. I had mentioned […]

Did more Commonwheel Art Festival Tasks in Preparation of the meeting tonight. Where does the time go? Spent hours preparing for the Commonwheel Art Festival meeting tonight. I did do something for one book client to start the morning off right. And got some work on my taxes done, but not much. I guess every […]

Mixed up Day of Client and Help with Commonwheel History

Started out with an email making me aware of what I hadn’t done properly. I wonder if I used up all my “on track” focus last year when I relocated the Commonwheel Art Festival in just 3 weeks due to flooding. I wanted to enter a contest for the Festival Poster and missed the deadline […]

A Very Carnivale Day in FantaFaces Studio

I spent all day in my FantaFaces Studio in preparation for Carnivale in Manitou Springs. Oh, I was tempted when the weather was predicted to be the warmest day to go for a Hike. But I resisted that temptation and got into my FantaFaces studio. At first I was a bit distracted by doing some […]
