close to you


How crazy is it that two girls from opposite continents should meet, become dearest friends, and in the span of 15 years...marry, visit, love, lose, laugh, cry, unmarry, cherish, create, fall, pick up, live in England, live in California, really love,....then both end up....crazy as it may seem, in KANSAS CITY...with little boys just 6 weeks apart? 4 blocks apart? 

The English one is the amazingly talented Sarah Lugg. Here on Artslice,  is a lovely blog article about her talents. She is modest and amazing and so much more, all wrapped into wonderful. I can't believe I can call her & be in the same time zone, let alone walk over to her HOUSE with my BOY. lucky me.

Vicky is smiling down indeed.

11:11



So really, the goal of this blog, and what lights me up the most...is to be able to share the work of creative people. I am continually inspired by the talent around me, every day. It's in all of us, you know.

Here, I have a place to share with you posts, people & places that are in my opinion, noteworthy.

Right now in Atlanta GA it's 11:11. and today, is 11/11. So I find it only fitting & perfect to start off the creative parade with one who lives & breathes it every day.  To live in & around your work and still love it and know it informs your very being & your livelihood...that's a rare thing.
This is a rare man. A talented photographer who puts his soul on the shutter button. Paul Hultberg.  I am lucky to know him. 

People who create..in any way, share bits of themselves with the rest of us. I love that. The vulnerability of putting yourself out there is actually giving a gift, a snapshot of who you really are. 
Inside.

And here, after an hour of figuring out how to write computer code to get this all to input correctly...it is now 11:11 Central time. Go figure.

And create, while you're at it.
