About
The Red Queen/The White Queen The yin and yang, both right and left brained….that’s me in a nutshell. It’s difficult to consolidate the 2 very different personalities into 1person. Since opposites attract, I am fond of myself yet I am often in conflict.

Art vs Business

Country vs City

Sloppy vs Meticulous

Practical vs Dreamer
As the quote says, “stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey.” I work too hard and feel it’s time to begin having some fun. Even though I work full time, am a parttime student and community volunteer, I gotta have more fun-taking time for a laugh and pleasant company. Despite my plump exterior, I am an active person who prefers being in the outdoor world communing with nature and secretly yearns to live the life of an artist.
I express myself through my work, gardening, as an actor and director, arts and crafts, and writing. I explore my world by reading, taking classes, attending concerts and plays, spending time with my friends and family, hiking and exploring nature, and travel.
At my advanced age, I decided to start working towards my Master’s degree in Performing Arts Administration. When I’m not in a dank, dark theater or studying, I’m outside getting my hands dirty in the garden. I live in a winter, water wonderland so the out-of-doors is important to me.
My blog, which began as an online diary, has turned into a garden and nature journal, with personal tidbits thrown in here and there.
Why do I call the blog Through the Looking Glass and how do jellyfish figure in? My explanation is here.

hello :~j
Blog looks GREAT! would love to see some pictures of the nature you describe so well. Happy blogging!
Thanks, it’s been a lot of fun. I’m in the process of transferring all my old diary entries onto this site…it’s more professional looking and I can add photos, which I was unable to do on the old one. Once I’m done with that, I’ll start adding pictures.
OK, who is this????
I’m just a fan of yours. I live in Michigan and grew up sailing on the lake (Lake Michigan, that is). Your sailing stories remind me of sailing with my Dad. I followed you here from Diaryland and only just started blogging on this website very recently.
Ahhh, well the boat splashes in two weeks so hopefully there will be more sailing stories and less work whining… I can’t wait
Hiya,
So that’s what’s wrong with me: both left- and right-brained.
You summed it up so well. It explains a lot.
‘Never satisfied’, my mother used to say. Pity it is now too late to tell her why
I like the muted snow series you put up today, even though I dislike snow. ( there I go again).
Joco, you’ve been busy here today. I like snow, at least until February. Grey days are more difficult. Being both left and right brained just means the everything interests me – I cannot limit myself. I haven’t decided whether that is a good or bad thing yet.
So hello … from one Michigan snow lover to another
hey just here for the love-lies-bleeding pic and randomly enough, I am a snapdragon, too!
Wonderful blog. I look forward to reading and seeing more of your artistic viewpoint.
