Silent Expressions

 The act of conveying messages without the use of spoken words is a profound form of communication. This silent expression can manifest through various means, such as body language, facial expressions, and gestures. In many instances, the subtleties of silence can convey emotions, feelings, and thoughts more powerfully than verbal articulation.

Silence is not merely the absence of sound but a rich tapestry of meaning that can enhance relationships and facilitate deeper connections. I have said many things in silence. However, I remain puzzled as to why so many single straight men over the age of 30 remain clueless. 


Real genuine love is an emotional expression built of genuine feelings and affection. Not personal agendas and manipulation. 


This post is inspired by the “Say it with Silence, “ by Hubert Laws, 1978 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppl-lDRVUzo). In 1978, I was 2 years old and drew attraction to many things.

Implementation of innovative strategies

  In the upcoming months, specifically from the fall of 2024 through June 2025, I will be focusing on the development and implementation of innovative strategies to enhance the services I offer in the realm of art and consulting. This period will mark a significant transition in my professional approach, as I will no longer be providing complimentary or educational services. Instead, my emphasis will shift towards delivering high-quality, value-driven offerings that align with the evolving needs of my clientele. For those who are interested in engaging my services, whether they are prospective clients or previous clients, it is essential that all requests be submitted in writing. This formal approach will ensure that I can adequately assess and respond to each inquiry with the attention it deserves. By establishing this protocol, I aim to streamline communication and foster a more professional relationship with those seeking my expertise in art and consulting.

Artistic Elegance

  Blend of fashion and art “represents a unique fusion that transcends traditional boundaries, creating a dynamic dialogue between two distinct yet complementary disciplines. This amalgamation allows for the exploration of aesthetic principles, where the creativity inherent in artistic expression informs and enhances the design elements of fashion. As a result, garments become not merely items of clothing but rather canvases that convey deeper narratives and cultural commentary, reflecting the zeitgeist of contemporary society.”
