Happy Birthday Darling.

It’s Jesse’s 21st birthday today. I mention Jesse occasionally on here, but I don’t talk about him in any great depth. There are some parts of my life that I do try to keep private. Today though, I’d just like to share how proud I am to be with him, and what a really great [...]

It's a revolution, baby.

When I first started writing this post, I wanted it to be all edgy and cool and smart. I wanted it to be so awesome, everyone would just adore it. However, that post didn’t want to be written. So I’m writing this one instead. Last week, my wonderful friends Kyeli and Pace, of FreakRevolution.com, sent [...]

Rambling.

Hello writer’s block. Again. You know, one of these days, I’ll be able to write a post without spending the first five minutes staring at the screen going, Duhhhh. I’ll let you know when that happens. We’ll all drink champagne together. My treat. I’m not entirely sure what this post is going to be about. [...]

Leaving the cave

For the past week, I’ve given myself total permission to flake out. Do nothing. Be completely unproductive. Sit by the ocean and stare, all the while creeping out the locals. Sit in sunbeams and pretend I’m a cat. Whatever I felt like. I have drunk inordinate amounts of tea and eaten inordinate amounts of homemade [...]

Can I get a vacation from life?

The last month has felt like being in the boxing ring. I feel emotionally wrung out, and physically exhausted. Goodbyes Last night, I got the phone call from my friend that her sister had died. I’m not there to hug her and comfort her and it sucks royally. Dear, sweet, stubborn, strong Kait, you will [...]

My thoughts are with you.

My oldest friend called me last night. For fifteen years, we’ve been friends, practically sisters. My little sister considers her a second big sister. I think of her little sister as my other little sister. Today, my friend’s sister is in hospital. Kait’s always had health problems – epilepsy and a million others. There have [...]

Because it wouldn't be my life if this didn't happen…

Today is my first day of work. In about 3 hours, I officially become a working girl. Last night, I went to bed at 10:30pm to get a solid night’s sleep in anticipation of a long day. Unfortunately, it seems that the Universe had other plans. I tossed and I turned and I just couldn’t [...]

Life! It's busy!

One down, and only a few more to go! Things are coming along on the painting front. I’m nearly done the first 5 paintings for the nude show, and I’ve only got 3 more to do. Also, I’m done one commission, seen above, and only have one more left that’s so close to being finished. [...]

Bad Vibes

This is actually one of the hardest things I’ve ever written. So please be gentle. It’s amazing how much the energy and intention behind an action can really affect the results that action has. Recently though, I forgot this, and I let my own fear and desperation put out really bad vibes around my art [...]

Role models

I’ve always really admired ballsy women. When I was younger, my  hero was Elizabeth I. Not exactly a typical role model for a 12 year old. I loved her guts,  I loved that she went against the grain, and I loved that she was powerful. I wanted to be that powerful – not necessarily powerful [...]
