The Comparison Game Oooh, I’m really good at at this game! Let’s play, shall we? First, you have to pick something you’re really passionate about. So, using myself as an example, we’ll use art. Pretty damned passionate about that. Next, you find someone who is incredibly successful at that thing you love, and is someone [...]

Insecure Pants
February 17, 2010 – 7:45 am
I’m sitting in my new living room, listening to the wind and snow rage outside. I woke up wearing my insecure pants. They’ve been on a lot lately. I think it has something to do with February. I’m counting down the days until March, when spring starts to whisper it’s promise of warmer days and [...]
Enough.

I’ve been working a lot with my money issues lately. I’ve suddenly got more money that I’ve ever had before so yay. But instead of fixing my money problems, it’s actually just shining a brighter light on all the ways me and money don’t get along. I want to fix that before I do something [...]
Looking for my perfect job
October 30, 2009 – 2:05 pm
Well there’s nothing like some serious pain and internal bleeding to make you realize something needs to change. Almost 2 weeks ago now (omg, has it really been that long?) I began getting sharp pains in my stomach, and symptoms similar to a stomach flu. I thought that maybe I’d eaten something funny, maybe picked [...]
The Value of Art
September 10, 2009 – 8:40 am
Yesterday I read Jonathan Mead’s Zero Hour Work Week and I lurved it. (If you haven’t read it, go here to pick it up – it’s a free PDF download.) Jonathan’s whole principle is that you don’t have to hate your work and that if you find work that you’re passionate about and brings value [...]
Everything will be fine.

Yesterday morning, I was pretty much having a meltdown. I was so tired and couldn’t bear to face another day of work. I knew that if things continued like this, I wouldn’t be doing anything, let alone working in 2 months time. I’d be practically comatose. But I made a choice – that if it [...]
Art vs "Real Life" – Who's going to win?
August 20, 2009 – 9:01 am
So I’ve worked two shifts at my new job and, while my coworkers are great and my boss is a good, intelligent person I can respect, I’m already starting to dread the job itself. I make smoothies. Basically for 6-8 hours straight. I’m on my feet the whole time, and it’s already taking it’s toll [...]
Employed – who me?
August 14, 2009 – 9:22 am
I’ve officially joined the ranks of the working world! And I actually feel okay about this one, surprisingly. I’m probably only going to work evenings and weekends, which is awesome because it means I’ve got all week to work on my own business and do my own thing without having to worry about making the [...]
Opening up to the flow
February 17, 2009 – 11:47 am
I’ve been doing a lot of work around money lately. With my wanting to move out and actually make enough money to support myself, it’s in the forefront of my mind. But so is all of it’s ickyness. Places of Stuck When I think about what I associate with money, again and again, I think [...]
