Merry Christmas

megan — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:10:56 +0000

To those I love and those that I don’t even know… I wish you the merriest Christmas. May Christ who came to earth to be with us shine his love and light on you. May you start the new year fresh looking ahead with hope. May you enjoy peace and friendships and at least know [...]

Frohe Ostern

megan — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 12:52:02 +0000

I’m in Germany over Easter. On Friday I attended a Seder Dinner with a family from Cadence. It was very enjoyable and helped me remember our small group’s Seder dinner last year. I think we should do it again or something similar. It is such a testament to the need of remembering. The looking back [...]

Be still, my soul

This hymn meant a lot to me when we sang it at church last week. It’s taken from Psalm 46. Its melody has been with me for over a week now, and its words also really resonated with me. Here are the words below. But you can also see them on a blank page [...]

painting in the winter

megan — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 21:41:39 +0000

I’ve been taking a painting class at the cultural arts center in my town this winter. It was a decent class. Mostly it just gave me three hours every Saturday to sit and try to paint. So this is what I came up with at the end of the class (after doing color wheels, sketches, [...]

What would you do if…

I received this letter in the mail at work. Sent from Denver, but it didn’t have a return address. It is a card, with no writing inside. Just my address hand-written on the front. It was weird, however, the weirdness has turned into an inspiration. I am a perfectionist. At times I think that’s an [...]

Color in the mix

This is a new painting done over Thanksgiving weekend.

A Halloween treat

megan — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:21:00 +0000

On the plane back and forth to and from Kentucky, I did some doodling. Then I scanned in the doodles and made some vector illustrations in Adobe Illustrator. This is one that turned out Halloweenish. I’m excited to be doodling again… On other fronts, still a lot going on. I went to see my [...]

…to be a Kentuckian

megan — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 03:16:23 +0000

I’ve looked around on the internet for “what it’s like to be a Kentuckian” and can’t really find a good list, so I thought I’d collect a bit here. For me to be a Kentuckian (or in my case a Central Kentuckian) means: that you feel weird when the road is wider than one lane that green [...]

a whirl wind of happenings

Vacation in New Mexico was wonderful. I loved it. We stayed at a place called Sunterra de Taos, a little spa and lodge run by a local lady. She gives massages too, but we didn’t take her up on that. This picture is looking outside the window of our “casita.” Beautiful. Lately I haven’t been enjoying [...]

Vay-cation

megan — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 22:17:00 +0000

Woohoo. I’m going to New Mexico. Adam and I are traveling to the Taos area for 4 days. Adam says this isn’t enough time to call it a vacation, but I say if I’m off work and I’m chillin’ with my homey and taking in some peace and relaxation, it’s all about vacation. I’ll post [...]
