I am about to do something really, really scary. I’m going to take a week off. No blogging. No business. No nothing. No big gigantic projects. No planning. Zip. Nilch. Nadda. Until next Friday. One whole week of no work. I think I’m going to have a panic attack. I need to slow down before [...]
Happy Hour Fridays: It's vacation time
Posted by Sarah on Apr 24 Published in Healing Emotional Wounds3 comments
I am so exhausted. I keep coming back to this place where I am just intensely tired. I’m still sick, and now sound somewhat like a 13 year old boy going through puberty. It’s hot. Trust me. I’m so drained that I don’t even know how much I can write today. You know those days [...]
Self acceptance, or something like it
Posted by Sarah on Apr 21 Published in Healing Emotional WoundsSo my cold has turned itself into a full blown case of laryngitis, as my colds are wont to do. Ironically, I have a media day to attend tomorrow where there will be not only journalists and print publications, but also television stations! And I sound like I’ve been smoking since I was two. Awesome. [...]
Somebody's got their cranky pants on.
Posted by Sarah on Apr 20 Published in Healing Emotional Wounds*Disclaimer: This is going to be a full on whine. There may be profanity. I may be pathetic. This may make no sense. Consider yourself fairly warned. Maybe it was the bad night’s sleep. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m sick, again. Maybe it was waking up in the middle of the night in excruciating [...]
Happy Hour Fridays: Letting my soul breathe
Posted by Sarah on Apr 17 Published in Healing Emotional WoundsI like this Friday. Do you know why I like this Friday? Because I think something finally sank in yesterday. Let me tell you all about it. Soul Breathing For so long, I feel like I’ve been sitting on myself, suffocating myself. I use hard work to punish myself, and I probably wouldn’t talk to [...]
Mmmm. I’m feeling very…lazy today. Relaxed. Calm. Still. I’ve been super tired the past few days. Since Monday really. I’ll just be absolutely exhausted by 3 pm, and then I get all frustrated with myself, because hey, I can’t work a 13 hour day if I’m tired. I was fighting it, big time. But then [...]

I'm very uncool and that's fine by me
Posted by Sarah on Apr 15 Published in Art, Stuff That I Can't CategorizeI went to life drawing last night, for the first time in a long time. Ughhh, boy am I out of practice. Yeesh. A few things happened last night though that got me thinking this morning. Turns out, I’m pretty lame actually While most of the class was 50 plus, after class was over, I [...]

So it’s probably about time that we talked about the gigantic pink elephant in the room. You know, that one. That one where we talk about the fact that I’ve almost completely stopped painting? Yeah, that one. I keep starting again and then stopping. If I do paint, it’s only ever for an hour, maybe [...]

Ever get the feeling that everyone’s just watching you to see if you’ll fail? Definitely getting that vibe from certain people around Jesse and I about our plans to move to PEI. And it’s frustrating, and I’ve been letting it get to me. It comes over me as a feeling of total helplessness, a powerlessness [...]

Again, another week that has gone so fast, my head is still in Tuesday. It’s been quite the week. Lots and lots and lots of processing. Lots of letting go and moving forward. Big gigantic life changes. Sigh. When do I not have a week like that? It’s kind of exhausting actually. Some good stuff [...]
