…I FOUND MY MOJO BACK!
Yep, I lost it for a couple of days. Of course it always returns, I know that, but after a few days I got a little bit worried anyway… I had the time to create and no inspiration at all! That’s pretty frustrating!
But, eventually, it returned to me on Monday… and so I say:

May I introduce you to
MY MAN!!!
It must have been 1996, when this man gave me the album “I’m your man” by Leonard Cohen. He wasn’t quite “my man” then but he for saw that one day he would be, and he
was right. Since 1998 we are together. And by “together”
I mean all day and all night
long. We own a small company together, work together, sleep, eat, laugh, argue and experience life together.
Every hour of the day…
Most women love to have time for themselves, when their husband goes to work, but I am perfectly happy being together with him all the time!
So when my son made this photo of him, a few weeks ago, I knew immediately this was the pic I was going to use with the song “I’m Your Man” in my Leonard Cohen Art Journal.

I had planned a weekend full of scrapping time for myself, but life doesn’t always follow your plans, does it? On Saturday, very early in the morning,
I was waked by the phone (and everybody knows that when the phone rings that early and that long, it’s gonna be sad and frightening news…) My brother called me from Canada (he lives there with his family) to tell me his daughter Lisa (my niece, she’s 17 years old) had been in a car accident and was very badly injured…
It wasn’t yet very clear what injuries she had at that time but now, two days later, we know a lot more and briefly this is it:
Sad news,
Lisa was involved in a serious car crash Friday afternoon, and is in a serious condition in The Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg
It’s not life threatening anymore, but she will be in hospital for a long time. She got a broken neck, broken back, fractured elbow, her arm and wrist are broken and a couple minor injuries. The doctors say she will recover 100%, but it will take a long time.
I didn’t do much for the rest of the weekend…

…I looked like Kate Bush. At least, that’s what they said…

And hey, I didn’t mind!
Can you blame me?
Look at her!
That’s one lovely lady!!!
But to be honest… I didn’t look THAT much like her. Her face is heart-shaped (and mine, obviously, wasn’t. And isn’t. And never will be!)
I think it was the hair though! My hair is kinda red too… not really, but with certain light conditions – yes – OK – there were moments that I looked like her. I have that one particular
photo to prove it.
And I used it on my lay out!
