Matthew Wong - The Modern Vincent van Gogh

Earlier this year, George Bothamley, the writer of Art Every Day, introduced me to an artist I didn't know before: Matthew Wong. I was instantly mesmerized by his art, and his personal story reminded me so much of Vincent van Gogh…

The Charlotte Pendragon Diaries by Charlotte Pendragon

Magic and Fur Part 2

When I lose a pet, I’m continually devastated. It’s literally like losing a family member. It doesn’t seem fair; beautiful creatures can give you so much companionship, loyalty, and love, yet we feel a profound mix of emotions when they're gone.

Magic Moments: Episode 8

After we recorded this short message outside, (with my husband working away in the garden - - some of the noise you can hear), mom spoke of an American soldier taking her little hand, (when she was even younger, as the war broke out), and guiding her and my nana across a busy road with army blockades, etc., during the war in England. She said she reme…
