Tiger Legacy

Monday I enjoyed going to the Cherokee Heritage Center in Tahlequah to welcome the 200 motorcyclists who make a journey each year in honor  of those who walked the trail so many years ago.  Although it was hot during the afternoon, it became more pleasant as the sun started to set and we were able… read more

Its almost mid week. Today I’m in the middle of saving my business.  My artist life is like that. Good thing I’m so calm and collected in my 4th decade.  I will handle the crisis at hand  and then  I’ll be attending the Seminole Festival outside of Seminole Oklahoma this weekend.  Located outside of town… read more

Nothing is easy that is worth much.  I was told that growing up.  I’ll agree.  My walk this morning was extremely hard.  I could not get my legs to go.  Christie and Lisan BOTH went today.  I had a lot of stress in my system from the night before.  Stress messes you up.  Damn, a… read more

Today was harder than usual walking my 3 miles due to eating chips and cookies the night before.  Yes I know they make me act and feel like an ogre as well as stifle my creativity but progress not perfection is all I can hope for.   Tomorrow I fly to Sacramento to the Indian… read more
