#lillediane #mypostcardlife #humansparkler My beloved foster mother is in the process of putting her sparkly suit on. Would you join me in praying for her to complete her dying wish to have enough energy to make me one last fruit cake?
She took me at age 16 in 1968. Her unwavering love has been my greatest gift and reason I'm who I am today.

First-Time Visitors:: I am a mixed media artist living in the southwest corner of Colorado. We bought a 1973 Vintage double-wide manufactured home that's stick-built on the outside and begging for my artist's touches, inside and out. I am having my creative way with it until we build a customized roundhouse to take advantage of our 360-degree views!
This means our home is a lifesize canvas for me to experiment on with any DIY projects I want to test drive--whether or not it turns out how I envisioned it to turn out! AND, I'm taking you with me as I transform my personal spaces and places inside and o

What do you do when your brain gets in a loop of "stinkin thinkin"?
What helps you to stay in the now?
My life has been affected by #cptsd (chronic post stress disorder) and #agoraphobia (fear of leaving one's home) both personally, and with others.
These are the techniques I use to get off the hamster wheel in my head. They have faithfully worked for me, and, let me tell you, rounding up my brain can be challenging.
I'm humbled and blessed to say the hard work I've done to overcome my fears has paid off. I'm so grateful for this.
Sometimes just knowing you are not alone helps. I know it helps me.
Thank you for watching! #lillediane #mypostcardlife #humansparkler

Join me for a Quick Sketchbook Tour of My Postcard Life here in Montezuma & La Plata Counties in southwest Colorado. Locals will recognize some of the historic and favorite restaurants in our area.
After I moved back to the Durango area in 2015, I began sketching people and art at our local restaurants while we waited for our meal. The sketches were quick, childlike ink drawings—no self-berating was allowed. I’d put the drawing away while we ate, then over a final cup of coffee while waiting for the bill, I’d drop in watercolor.
I couldn’t erase ink which forced me to leap and not turn back. This practice stretched me and elevated my art skills and confidence in drawing. I love the wonky characters I drew, and the truth is, in my opening drawing in the video, locals recognize the woman immediately when they see this sketch. And so did she! I’ve since met her and become friends. Life is cool that way—I drew a good friend to me!
I hope you will jump in to make quick postcards of your life using ink and watercolors. It’s relaxing and good for your soul. Thank you all for watching!

My mama is lying in a hospice bed 1500 miles away from me. She called me to tell me a secret and now I'm sharing it with you. I'm now witness to (as are two others) her describing a remote viewing of me.
Her secret changed my life for the better once again just as she did 56 years ago when she brought me home as a foster teen. May her secret uplift you, too. Thank you for watching! #hospice #lillediane #mypostcardlife
My family and I are grateful for each sprinkling of love and your prayers for ease and grace as our mom puts on her radiant sparkly suit.
In gratitude,
Lille Diane, family and friends
