Gardener Park is derived from my grandparents residence, the only real home I ever knew. It was a place of love, security, and freedom. In this blog I hope to share my life experiences with being bi poler, an artist, a survivor, a child, and and a hopeful spirit.I am alot of things and this isnt just going to be about art, even though it is the reason Im doing this at all. It is about the whole person, me, Ellary, warts and beauty marks. I plan to share lifes general experiences, along with art projects, recipes, gardening, thoughts on nutrition especially as it applies to depression, my love of animals, my dog Lily, my boyfriend Marc, and being a multiple trauma and cancer survivor. I want to share my funnies, my hard times, creative times, tearful times. I am an open book and am not afraid to tell all. So be patient with me, this is my first blog. Here we go........
