Back to art and writing once again

I have taken time off to help family again with work etc. but I am really missing my dreams of continuing my art work- painting daily and finishing my art/cookbook. So, I quit yesterday and I am back at it. Can't wait.
Do all of us Moms always continue to put ourselves on the back burner to husbands and family? Even when everyone is grown? Why? When is it our time? When we are dead? Think about it.
Well I am not waiting any longer- I turned 52 a few days ago and now is the time for sure. I am sooooo not getting any younger.
I talked with my life long best friend today and she and I are collaborating on our cookbook/art book.
She is a fabulous artist and cook. We both live in different parts of the country but have been like missing twin sisters with all our passions. We love to cook and create new recipes daily and create paintings as well. Her name is Sherrie.
Look for more soon.
