I made this as an art journal suggestion from one of the art journaling sessions I participate in. It's made with a white charcoal pencil on black gesso. The words are in white gel pen. I wrote some of my favorite quotes.
I thought I'd share them here.

I participated in a post card exchange recently and I just wanted to share the one I just made, because I thought it was really kind of pretty.
I wish I could send postcards to all my MGL friends. But instead, I'll just share one…

With weather the past few days being in the teens, I am sooo ready for spring. In fact, since I can’t wait, I thought I’d share an old blog post of mine from a couple years back on another one of my blogs.

This past Saturday I had the extremely wonderful pleasure of a solo hike in the local Arboretum. I was blessed to have a warm but not too hot day, and hardly ANY other souls around. If I ran across another human it was far away. For a…

It's cold here in the Midwest. It's been in the teens, which I guess I shouldn't complain too much about, since my MGL brother to the north of me in Canada had -38 degree (with the windchill) weather recently (hi oliver!).
But I thought I'd share some flowery pictures I took over the years (oh, yeah, and the most common bird in my neighborhood).
Crested Iris (Iris cristata)…

Hi all - just found this site. So I'm told I'm "gifted" by a psychologist recently. Others have said this to me over the years too. I'm 45, have been a lawyer for 18 years or so, single, never been married, no kids, and feel I've let life slip by…Continue

A community for support and fellowship for gifted persons, those close to them and associated professionals.
MyGiftedLife.org is not a high-IQ society or corporate entity. MGL is not a business, nor is it a formal charity. We do not currently operate on any grants or fund-raising. Our mission is to provide a place where people can provide fellowship, encouragement and information to each other when needed.
MGL is for gifted persons and those involved in their lives, including parents, families and friends. Educators, psychologists and other professionals are welcome, as are others who may simply want information about giftedness.
Mygiftedlife is a safe haven. It's a place where anyone who experiences life from a gifted perspective can share their unique selves and weave a common thread going beyond the tapestry of any usual forum to one based upon expanding awareness of experiences, self, others and the world we live in. Mygiftedlife is a place for delving deeper. I've come here and been understood when that seemed impossible. Gifted people and those advocating for gifted children navigate societal structures that present a great challenge. Support can be hard to find, but here it is.
"Hey, all the inane shallow chatter about stupid stuff at other forums got you down? Come here for more in depth and intelligent discussion about things that actually matter."
