Musings on art, life and creatively coping with it all
Yesterday i watched salma hayek's movie of frida kahlo. it was so amazing!!! she was certainly born to play this part! needless to say, frida's resilience was inspiring - not to mention her art!!!!!!!!!

I suffered a serious stroke over 10 years ago (aged 43 at the time) and it's been a slow, often frustrating, recovery... I lost my speech and was totally paralyzed on my right side, but with patience and regular physiotherapy, I can now speak, walk short distances, operate the computer, but my right side is still paralyzed. I get botox injections 3 times a year in my right bicep and forearm, which relaxes the high-tone muscles and makes it easier to stand and walk. Last year I started weekly sessions of hydrotherapy, where I build up the wasted muscles by exercising while supported by the warm water. It's bliss at the time, but I ache like heck next day - but it's so worth it :)

I was to make a necklace for a lady...she said in her German accent, "Make it very Frida" I took it that she meant chunky and/or funky...large bits and pieces.
Glad you are home, and I too am fascinated ny Frida
One of my favorite artists - and movies - I loved how they would merge the actors into the scenery of her paintings at different times in the movie - especially since her art was so personal, drawn from her life. She really is quite an inspiration.
There aren't too many movies any more that I'd like to own, but that is one of them.
Been thinking about you and wondering how you are. Love Hugs and Blessings
