Today is my 60th birthday!

What could be better than celebrating my "big six O" birthday but by starting a new blog and share it with the whole world, right? I can't think of anything better (OK I can!)  other than devouring a whole cake from my favorite bakeshop in Newmarket all by myself. Check them out here http://www.nutmegbakeshop.com/ 

How did I get here? 
Since my grandbaby was born last year, I have been thinking that I would like to keep some sort of a diary to share with her when she gets older. I want to somehow give her an idea of who I am while I still have my marbles (or so I think !!)  and since I have no say in how much longer I will stay on this earth, ME in a written form sounds like a good idea. 

Then, a couple of weeks ago, it dawned on me at 3:00 am in the morning that maybe I should expand this sharing myself with my granddaughter thing to sharing myself with her AND with the whole world while I'm at it. Why not, right? Well, I doubt that the whole world will care to know more about me, but maybe some will and maybe what I have to say will be of some value to someone, so why not? 

SO, what will I be blogging about? Initially I had the idea that my blog should be about my art journey, but since I am more than an artist and since I wish for my granddaughter to know me in my entirety I decided to blog about everything that involves me, my art journey included. Sounds good?

To everyone who decides to follow my blog and join me on my sometimes serious, other times funny and silly journey, THANK YOU!!! I hope you will find it beneficial and entertaining. I am hoping this will be a way to connect and share ideas and somehow influence each other to become better people! 

My first official blog post will be in a few days, this is just the intro!!! I need to grow up a bit more before I put on my big girl blogger pants and dive in!!! See you when I'm sixty and a few days :-)

Have a good day/night depending on where you are and see you at the next post!!!

Sammy this is for you! I love you beyond words and hope one day this will mean something to you!
