Virtual Painting Classes – Positivity Corner

I am not an artist. I am creative. As the saying goes, I couldn’t draw a stick figure if you paid me. Well, maybe that is an exaggeration, but you get the picture. I started going to group virtual painting classes and liked them. Then I got into the virtual painting classes you join in on from the comfort of your home. This lit a fire in me. It is something to do – a meditative, peaceful learning experience.

Run With the Idea

Running was always my second-greatest dread; only a visit to the dentist outclassed running. In the most extreme of circumstances, I could perhaps have envisioned myself running from a dentist.

Magic Bytes

At her interview, encouraged by Henry’s heart-stopping smile, Clarissa had lied about her experience. With no idea where to begin, she tousled her pink hair as data surged down the screen. “That’s a mess of numbers, sweetheart.”
