There and back again...and rarin' to go!

I'm finally back in commission! Ha Cha!... well, nearly.

I wanted to thank all of my friends and family who have been so generously supportive after my surgery and

for the wonderful outpouring of love and healing energy.

Being in the natural health world, I've opted to go a Homeopathic/Holistic route for treatment,

and so far I'm doing most excellent!

As part of my therapy, I helped my Dad as he built what I'm calling my "Healing Bench". Being a lover of plants, I've always wanted a greenhouse, but since space doesn't allow, my Dad has built this beautiful three tiered bench for my orchids! My step-Dad had previously built this mini pergola. (yes, we all get along great!) So combine the two and you have a beautiful orchid shade house!

Isn't it super!

Since this photo, I've finished staining it and just need a few more finishing touches, such as the overhead shade cloth and little copper caps for the posts, before the orchids move in.

Boy, sorting through the lumber stacks at Lowe's, and lifting and reaching, (albeit in slow motion) have really done wonders to help get my muscles back up to speed. Now I just need some Myofascial Release sessions to address the fascia and scar tissue and I'll be good as new! 

 I'll post a photo of the completed project later.

 Love you Dad!... Thank You again and Happy 75th Birthday!!!

So folks, I'm sure you're wondering when you might catch a glimpse of some new art? Well... let's see... I have a fun piece that was published in the Winter issue of Celebrate 365 that I'll be posting shortly, and many more waiting in the wings so stay tuned. This year will be bigger than ever!
I hope you like the little tweaking that I've given my blog, as an update for 2011.
Thank you again everyone, and Love to all of you!.... Oh!... and Happy New Year!!! :-)
