Toni Bernhard, author of How to Be Sick: A Buddhist Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers, has just posted a video on her website. I am particularly inspired by her use of silk embroidery and other needle arts to help in making her transition to her new situation. This is about 5 minutes but contains a lifetime of wisdom.

I just wanted to let my blog friends know I haven’t disappeared but am taking some time out for moving. We’re getting a bigger apartment and I’m getting a studio/study room. I’ll be back with reports on art, storytelling and the joy of living by December 10! For more details, become my facebook friend and hear more than you ever imagined.

There’s a new post on my Chronically Inspired website. Sabra Redfern has contributed a self-hypnosis technique for dealing with pain and anxiety.

I’m so glad the Portland Open Studios event takes place over 2 week-ends. It’s impossible to get it all in even then, but at least you have a fighting chance of seeing all the artist you’re most intrigued by. Last week-end I got to see the wonderful ceramics of Sara Swink, Pamela Grow and Babette Harvey. Also work by Harold Oxley, Diane Russel and Carole Zoom to name a few. It’s such a wonderful way to tour all the different neighborhoods of Portland and the eclectic range of art. Here’s a link to their website. Even if you only have one day this week-end, tour what you can. You won’t regret it and you’ll be delightfully inspired.
