MISHA AND HER TWO LOVE MUFFINS, WHEN THEY WERE MINI MUFFINS.


THESE DAYS I AM PRESENTLY WORKING ON A MAJOR FINE ART CROCHET DEADLINE, SO I HAVE BEEN, NOSE TO THE YARN AND HOOK, WORKING LIKE CRAZY.

TO ASSIST ME THROUGH THIS LONG PERIOD OF NONE-STOP WORK, I WENT TO THE GRAND ARMY PLAZA BROOKLYN LIBRARY AND THE CONTEE COLEEN LIBRARY IN HARLEM AND CHECKED OUT ABOUT 40 HOURS WORTH OF BOOKS ON CD'S.

THE FIRST GROUP OF CD'S I STARTED LISTENING TO WAS DR. MAYA ANGELOU'S, A SONG FLUNG UP TO HEAVEN AND, LETTER TO MY DAUGHTER (OF WHICH I FEEL THE WRITINGS WERE ADDRESSED TO ME).

I MUST ADD, THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO CATCH UP WITH ONE'S READING AND REFLECT. THESE VERY OPEN & MOVING BOOKS ON CD'S BY DR. ANGELOU, MADE ME REFLECT ON MY LIFE AS A ARTIST AND THE LIFE AND WORK OF A PARTICULAR ARTIST IN MY LIFE.

I THOUGHT BACK TO THE BOOK THAT I READ A WHILE BACK, BY AN AMAZINGLY CREATIVE ARTIST I KNOW, THAT LIVES, WORKS AND CAST HER SPELL'S IN HARLEM.

HER NAME IS MISHA MCGLOWN. MISHA IS ORIGINALLY FROM DETROIT MICHIGAN, SHE CAME TO NEW YORK TO POLISH HER NATURAL-BORN RISING STAR. SHE SHARE'S HER JOURNEYS THOUGHTS AND CHOICES IN A VERY ENTERESTING WAY

THIS, I AM SURE, IS THE ONLY BOOK OUT IN BOOK-LAND, ABOUT A VERY ACTIVE/HANDS-ON/ATTENTITIVE SINGLE, AFRICAN-AMERICAN MOTHER, OF TWO TEEN-AGERS. A ARTIST, JEWLERY DESIGNER/TEACHER/BUSINESSWOMAN, SINGER. THAT STILL MAINTAINS THE SPARKLE IN HER DREAMS THAT ARE FUELED BY HER CREATIVE GIFTS AND A STRONG FAITH IN "FOREVER AFTER".

THIS IS A RARE ARTIST "REALITY JOURNAL". BECAUSE NOT MANY WOMAN WITH A FULL LIFE LIKE MISHA CAN FIND THE TIME TO WRITE, FIND THE CREATIVE VOICE, FINISH, REWRITE AND SELF PUBLISH A BOOK LIKE THIS WITH OUT IT BEING FULL OF THE BLUES OF REGRETS, ANGER AND EMPTY HEARTEDNESS.

THIS IS A BOOK OF REFLECTIONS AND PROJECTIONS. REFLECTING ON THE OPEN FIELDS OF DREAMS THAT EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO, FIELDS OF DREAMS THAT ONLY FADE OR THAT ARE PUT AWAY ONLY BY THE HAND OF THE DREAMER. AND PROJECTIONS OF A SELF GOVERNING "JEANIE" OUT-OF-THE-BOTTLE.

THIS IS A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BOOK, TO BE CONTINUED, FOR AND FROM, A FULL HEARTED DREAMER THAT IS IN THE MIST OF HER SELF FULFILLING DESTINY.

TO BE READ BY TRUE-TO-LIFE BELIEVERS IN DREAMERS, AND THOSE THAT KNOW THEM, OR THOSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THEM. THIS IS A BOOK OF A ARTIST WHO IS ON THE ROAD TO HIGHER CREATIVE GROUNDS TO A UNPAVED VENTURE.

A GREAT STUDY OF FEMALE CREATIVITY, THERE IS A LOT TO BE OBSERVED FOR THOSE WHO WANT A FAMILY AND ART CAREER, EVEN IF THAT MEANS BEING A VERY RESPONSIVE SINGLE MOTHER ARTIST.
