Almost Famous— Again
Nah! Just Joking — But Featured So grateful to be interviewed for Bold Journey Magazine/Website. Many thanks for the opportunity to tell my story (Bold Journey is a space to share stories and learn from each other’s experiences.) I went into it thinking that it would be similar to the article we did on Canvas Rebel last October, but it a was a quite different format. To tell the truth, it got me a little out of my comfort zone on several levels, and it’s always good, in my opinion, to shake things up every…

Make Time
Instead of Resolutions~ I have nothing against New Year’s Resolutions— except that I seldom Keep one in the long run. I do start every year with certain Goals in mind though. However, I don’t kick myself if I fall short or am unable to fulfill my sometimes too ambitious plans. If I have discovered anything in Life, it is that it has to be an organic process, that we each evolve and transform at our own speed, and sometimes in directions that we never anticipated. I have written on this Website during these last three…

Almost Famous
Maybe Not Famous But Grateful ~ I am grateful for the friends we have made in Fort Davis, in Marfa and in Alpine, many of them small business owners themselves. I am also ever so grateful for all of our regular customers, for the chance to get to know some of these lovely people better (and also for all of the customers who come from places like, Austin, San Antonio, Midland , El Paso, or even Houston, Dallas or Fort Worth. Many of these are regulars also, coming once twice or more often a year,…

The Dreams that you Dare to Dream
… Really Do Come True The summer flew by. We are settling into Fall after the fun and rush of having relatives from Florida [Daughter and Granddaughter to me; Sister and Niece to my co-workers] visit. I so enjoy doing the whole tourist experience in this area that I love so much. You get to see every thing with fresh eyes, and we get around to things that just get overlooked or put off in our day to day life. From Prada Marfa to the Château Wright Winery to munching lunch from a Food Truck,…

Bella Vista Fort Davis Shop
This charming gift shop needs to be Seen. The short drive out is pleasant and scenic. The shop itself commands a view that most would envy. It is so pretty out there. On the Deck, festooned with rustic decor, ceramic bells, plants and pots, and gorgeous wreaths, you get a vista of the surrounding mountains that just can’t be had from town. Marcia has stocked the store not only with her own gorgeous floral wreaths, arrangements and creations, but absolutely the best selection of gift ideas I’ve seen anywhere in West Texas so far. You…

Thinking in Circles
What Makes The World Go Round Searching for an Eco Philosphy That Works I’ve been thinking a lot about creating a sustainable business for quite some time now. It is a difficult economy, and a difficult idea to Sell, much less to achieve.
