I’ve started a side branch blog called “Starlisa Stories” at starlisastories.wordpress.com I will do a lot of this deep journaling, philosophizing, mental health, ADD AND Autism, and self-help kind of posting on that blog and keep this one for Photography.

The Elusive Creative Muse
The Elusive Creative Muse Beauty is everywhere. As I write this, I can hear the geese flying overhead through my open window. It tugs at my spirit to come and play and dance on the wind.
