Back to blogging...

There's just SOOOOO much going on with my life right now and I'm realizing what's missing is something grounding me. In one way or another I've been able to dive into distractions that keep me from understanding the gravity of what I'm doing, ie: the Big Picture.

So much is up in the air, waiting for other people...and I am not the type to sit around and wait for others to make my life happen.

I can finally say I am in a place in my life that I made for myself. I am successful in my job and I can actually say I love what I do. I love what I am doing.

I wish I was making art...it always seems to be the first thing to slip away when I am overwhelmed with day-to-day life.

Every day seems to hold a new battle in understanding that I did the best I could in my commitments and not to beat myself for making the decisions I did.

More to come soon when I have time.

One goal this Fall is to apply for a cultural grant and commit myself to a year of making my art. Collaborative beading projects...we'll see...
