This is it. Today’s the day. My tuition is due by the end of the day, and as the fancy pink graphic below shows, I’m just $363 from my goal. BAM! That feels good. As I wrote the other day, I’ve been working hard to make sure that my journey is one of love, [...]

A journey of love, not fear.
January 18, 2012 – 3:22 pm
I am 3 days and $900 away from paying my tuition + rent to return to France. Of the total almost $7000 I thought I’d have to pay, having $900 left feels like something akin to a miracle. Between scholarships, sponsorships and generous donations, I am thisclose to officially being able to start my journey. [...]
What no one ever tells you about creative passion
February 15, 2011 – 2:06 pm
There’s a lot of talk on the internet about finding your passion and turning that into a business. Obviously I think this is great, since I did it. But sometimes it can be misleading. Passion experts & self help gurus talk about finding the thing that makes you leap out of bed every morning, excited [...]
The Sunday Hug: Forgotten Dreams
December 12, 2010 – 11:03 am
Fabeku wrote a fabulous post the other day about slowly forgetting about the things that light you up. For him, it was dance. It reminded me that I hadn’t been to dance class in 5 weeks. For 9 years, I didn’t dance. I got sick, and that was it, over. God, how I loved to [...]
What it means to have passion
November 30, 2010 – 2:32 pm
Passion. We say the word and envision sparks, desire, an all-consuming burning love for something. We picture drama and fireworks. True, sometimes passion can be like that. It’s all over the movies, so it must happen sometimes, right? But what does it mean to be passionate about something? What does it mean to be passionate [...]
You cannot hate yourself into happiness.
November 15, 2010 – 10:13 am
Now that I’ve finished the application to study in France, there’s suddenly a lot of empty space in my head. And since nature abhors a vacuum, it’s being filled with the clamoring of things that wish to be healed. You’ll recall that I took September off on retreat and that was good. It helped me [...]
The Sunday Hug: Slightly Belated
November 7, 2010 – 6:50 pm
Today’s edition of the Sunday Hug is a little belated as I’ve spent the whole day in the studio, working feverishly to finish the paintings for my application to study in France. Fingers crossed I’ll have it done by Friday. So this is just a quick hug, and a hug I don’t quite have the [...]
The Sunday Hug: Motivation
October 31, 2010 – 9:40 am
Because sometimes, life is hard and you just need a hug. This is the Inaugural Sunday Hug. I thought of it at 7am this morning and fell in love with it. Yes, you can now come here every Sunday and get a hug. Rock on. I was feeling a teensy* bit discouraged yesterday. *That is [...]
Meaning, love notes & ornery assholes
October 14, 2010 – 9:13 am
Let me tell you a story about a very naive, young artist… Once upon a time, my art felt incredibly meaningful. I felt like I was going to change the world, to connect with people, to help people. I was watching how my art healed me and I knew, with a fierce pride, that my [...]
