Life Alive





Yesterday I got lost in my old neighborhood 
visiting  my favorite stops, including LIFE Alive  just before heading home.
My friend Liz brought me to this lovely organic cafe in Cambridge last spring, 
and since I have taken my fam and select friends. 
 I ordered the Harvest Smoothie (Avocado, Banana, Dates, Lemon, Kale, Chia, and Almond Milk)  and Simply Juice(Lemon, spirulina, honey, and pure water)
knowing that I'd be in the hot box within 2 hours.
 Yum and yum!
Live Alive is grassy green and way fresh and I love 
the relaxed, friendly staff and cool vibes.
NOT to be missed, the Journey Jar pictured above.. 
little scrolls of wisdom to send you on your way.

recipe cheat sheet

I have been using this handy recipe cheat sheet for years, 
and thought I should spread the recipe love.
I have it on the side of my frig and refer to it often, 
like today, for instance, I made apple crisp. 
YUM and THANK YOU angry chicken!

paper collage on wood





We re-worked  these collages for the entire 6 week session..
 adding rich layers of color, texture and pattern each time.
We began with handmade papers that I collected,
 followed by construction and tissue paper cutouts, and then
printing with a mix of paints.
Stencils, oil pastels, colored pencils
 and sharpies to finish.

365 days


                                                                                 


A couple years ago,
I promised  myself
to take a picture everyday 
for 365 days.
These photographs 
are from that collection. 
It seems like yesterday.
