The “Pair Extraordinaire” joined in birth, body & soul. In time their combined voices would raise the spirits of all who were lucky to hear them. Watch, listen and learn…

Disheartened by the half hearted effort, the door looked more inviting than staring at the floor, day after night. The realization that shapes shift more than ever has become a reality that forces the forces to react and to remain relatively sane.

Disheartened by the half hearted, heart effort, the door looked more inviting than staring at the floor, day after night. The realization that shapes shift more than ever has become a reality that forces the forces to react and to remain relatively sane.

Think of the words & phrases: HaveAHeart, HeartAche, Heart&Soul, HeatBurn, HeartSmarT, HorseBeforeCarT (what?), HeartBreAkeR, HeartConDitIoN, AtHearT, HeartOftHeMaTTeR, LoseYourHearT, PourOutYouHearT, HasNoHearT, EatOutYourHearT, ChangeOFHearT, TakeHearT and the all time best (maybe) HeartInOne’sMouTH. That’s lotsa ways of thinking and expressing one’s heart or actions of the heart. With Valentine’s Day slowly coming over the next rise, one needs to heartily hearten the heartsick in order to hasten the heartwarming for others.

A curious thing happens in creating wearable art. What may appear to others as easy, is in fact a journey of wonder, questioning, potential failure, agony and maybe a triumph. Emphasis should always be on the “maybe.” What may appear, in the creator’s mind, to be a fabulous idea, when brought to fruition may just be a loser. In this particular case, the final wearable turned out much better than the initial flash of joltofelectrodes.

As Valentine’s Day slowly approaches, the thoughts of our “PastLoVEs” may also be slowly creeping through our conscious and un-conscious thoughts and memories. Where are they now? Alive, dead, maybe lost – but not forgotten. Forgotten memories, faded photographs, old tickets stubs, a lock of hair, favorite blouse or shirt = ephemera that lives on in one form or another. Bless the times we’ve shared and the picture clear memories that cloud out the dreariness of today’s existence…

Each day, your heart can become renewed, if only one wishes that to occur. It takes a simple act of thinking, a re-starting the engine of compassion & love with a happy thought and a desire to re-new your way of loving & living. Give “Re-NeW a HeArT” a try and see if your passion takes on a protean pathway.

In the dense and dark light of night, the shape shifters’ protean approximation lends an immaculate air and vision unseen during the light of day. What?

The “three reasons” were obvious to some, oblivious to others and totally unseen by many. The reasons are obvious, when seen in the cool light of day versus the heat of the nite night… Get the ocular visual, presentation package?
