If you want to be like God, create something, because that is what God does; He is the Creator. We are made in His image – to be creators in our own dimension. That is what He wants from us: to be creative outlets of His spirit on the human level. Let Him work through you!

Seven Romance Novels I’ve Read and Can Recommend
Today I noticed that Goodreads has declared this to be “Romance Week” so I followed their links to a page naming the Top 100 Romance Novels on Goodreads. I don’t normally read romance novels, so out of 100 novels named, I’ve read only 7 of them, and of those, 4 were classics.

50 Books to Read Before You Die – My progress on this challenge
I just love book lists – almost as much as I love books themselves. I got this book list from a Goodreads group with the same name as the list. So . . . thought I’d put the list on my blog here to keep track of which books I’ve actually read, and we’ll see how many I get to read before . . . . that morbid thing happens.

My 2019 Reading Plan and Tentative Schedule
My plan for reading this year is to stay close to the plan I already made for the 2019 PopSugar Reading Challenge. That will provide for a lot of diversity in my reading as I’ll be exposed to genres I wouldn’t otherwise pick up to read. I will also have other books to read, because not everything is covered in that challenge.

Zentangles, Folk Art, Rembrandt, and Me
My art is classified as folk art. One definition I found for folk art is – art done by people who are not trained as artists. I’m not sure all folk artists are untrained, but for me, that is, for the most part, true. I took a few art classes in high school and college, but since then, nothing. I spent most of my life taking care of my children and that precluded creating a lot of art.

My Progress on the PopSugar Reading Challenge for 2017
Yes, I’m doing the PopSugar Reading Challenge again this year. It helped me last year to have a list of books to read, and I got a lot of the books finished (but not all).
