I seem to have lost my blogging voice lately. It’s weird. I think part of it is being out of practice. I used to blog every single day, and now, that’s a lot harder with work and sharing a computer. I have a lot less time to sit and mull over my blog post. That [...]

The fear of selling
May 5, 2009 – 8:27 am
I think I’m nearly ready for the Pelham Art Festival. Here’s a big picture from Friday’s article: Me! Now available in Technicolor! Mind you, now that I’ve cut my hair short I look nothing like my picture, but hopefully people will still recognize me? Yeah, that was probably a bad marketing move, but really, my [...]
A personal ad for my Right People.
February 26, 2009 – 11:11 am
Get this – I just spent the last hour and a half playing with pastels and getting embarrassingly messy. Me! Playing! And having fun! I am so happy right now. I’m really feeling joyous. I never let myself do that, especially before I’ve done any work whatsoever. Me having fun. Gosh, what is the world [...]
There's some happy jigging, some goals and some art
February 11, 2009 – 8:45 am
I’d like to do a little happy jig right now. Would you like to do a happy jig with me? Come on, you know you want to. In the past 2 days, I’ve sold one card and one alpaca drawing. Do you know how completely freaking awesome that is? I’m selling things! People love and [...]
It's time for a facelift. Or maybe a "Life Lift"
January 28, 2009 – 9:40 am
I’ve got two completely unassociated topics floating around my head today. Not sure if I can link them up, but they’re both clamoring to be written about, so I guess today you’re going to get a schizophrenic post. First up: my website I’ve redesigned my website so many times, it’s actually a running joke with [...]
Sooner or later.
January 20, 2009 – 9:56 am
So today, I’m calling disability support, to make an appointment. This really feels like giving up to me. I vowed that I would become independent and support myself goddammit, and this seriously feels like I’m waving a white flag. I know it’s not like that. I know some people are so glad to get disability, [...]
That deep yearning, keening artist within.
January 8, 2009 – 2:01 pm
More than anything else lately, I feel like I’ve lost my muse. I’ve been feeling so uninspired. And I don’t mean those flash-in-the-pan moments of inspiration, for those are always few and far between. I mean feeling inspired in your soul, in your heart. I’d lost it. It was probably due to a whole variety [...]
My Plan to Survive Life
December 30, 2008 – 11:15 am
I was feeling completely overwhelmed yesterday. I was in a total panic. It was my first day back to working again after the holidays. I thought that I’d be able to slide back into it, no problem, but boy was I wrong. I sat down to work and had not a clue where to start. [...]
Grab bag: Alpacas, niches and money.
December 10, 2008 – 9:12 am
I thought today, we all needed a little dose of alpaca. Its snowing here, so instead of thinking about snow, I decided that a warm, fluffy, slightly odd-looking animal would be much more fun! Everyone, I’d like you to meet…Pru. $25.00 US + Free Shipping Pru was the funniest alpaca I have ever met. When [...]
Learning to be me, one day at a time.
November 27, 2008 – 12:14 pm
I talked about money issues the other day. In my attempt to resolve them, I decided to borrow some money books from the library. Turns out they really got me thinking about my journey the past year and so I thought I’d share my thoughts with you here. Desire So you know how I said [...]
