Heat Wave

Marlene’s Mid-Life Diary

It’s really hot today, record breaking heat for this time of year. Too hot to walk outside, I’ll wait til later and swim in the pool.

I’m taking the day to work on going over the skills I learned in Adobe In Design, to create a story page layout for the book.

Truth is I’m feeling the heat both outside and inside myself. Fears are present but I’m determined not to stoke the fires.
Staying cool and breathing to keep calm.

My passion has always been storytelling whether that involves writing or imagery. Following this passion, I built a 20-year career licensing my unique hand painted illustrations and product designs to renowned companies in the gift, paper, and home décor categories. My clients include Waterford Wedgwood, Tiffany & Co., George Caspari, Shurman Fine Papers, Block China, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Cartier, Shaw Living, Stephen Lawrence, and many more. To view samples of my artwork, just go to http://www.createdigitalart.com/designers/marlene.php. Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
