A new look for Spring

A new look for Spring

I found myself considering the original look of 7 Green Stairs in terms of what I wanted you, the viewer, to experience. I concluded that the old design was simply too busy and that it’s time to simplify. The content is all still there and I hope this will actually make it easier to...

Entertainment isn’t necessarily evil

September 8, 2009

I try not to overload but some purely entertaining TV or a good chick-lit novel is something I consider essential to my well being and personal development.

March 25, 2009

I found this (page, music video, art?)  when I was researching topics for my other blog.  It’s incredible – and I watched it through twice before I realized you can move your cursor and the ink will follow your “pen”.  How cool is that? It made me realize how important a little play in...

What are you waiting for?

March 4, 2009

I know what it means to feel like you need to be good before starting  something so that you can improve to excellent.  My high school gymnasium had banners for Olympic medals in addition to the state and regional wins.  I didn’t dare try out for anything; ‘just for fun’ wasn’t part of the...
