Dreaming and White Space
I have a blank 2′ by 3′ space I need to fill with something. It’s staring at me from my easel and no inspiration has hit yet. Much like the space on this page. I’ve been sitting here, with one sentence, for 20 minutes. I want to write and paint but nothing is coming. So…

Aletheia
I saw this book at work after the fundraiser, and knew I just had to buy it. The title alone completely grabbed my attention and I can’t wait to delve into September’s world. But the title. The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. Just resonates. I don’t know why, but…

Recap 2011
In January I made a series of posts of things I wanted to do this year. Most of the stuff on those lists I didn’t do, but I did make a lot of progress in some of the areas I mentioned and in other related areas that I didn’t name. I liked having a smidgen…

A Christmas Card! (because I'm out of stamps)
Adventures of Alex and Kiery (and Tonks) by kiery In keeping with the tradition I started a while ago (and that I don’t have any stamps, and that I want to get into comic making sometime soon – and that I’ve been on bed/couch-rest all day from food poisoning) I present, Alex and Kiery’s 2011…

Time Management
I’ve got a semi-intense seasonal job which is really amazing. I like what I do and I like that it ends before christmas and enables me to save/create an art fund and buy christmas presents without feeling bad for mooching off my husband (not that that’s bad either, or that he minds, ’cause he doesn’t,…

Self Confidence Boost #inspiringwednesday
Yesterday I had an idea – but first, I guess, the back story. I, like every other woman, struggle with self image, self confidence, self esteem – basically, anything that has to do with thinking I am in any way good or valuable, I struggle with, and I always have. Because I don’t feel like…

Working Out and Stuff (MuM)
So today I started my new thingy, where I wake up during the morning and work out before Alex wakes up. I like it! except for the bout of queasiness from trying to eat apples too quickly after everything. I think maybe I should either wait longer, or start out with the apples so I…

plans (authentic Thursday)
Sometimes I have so many ideas, or really good ideas are given to me, that it all ends up in a jumble of stuff that I really want to do, and really want to do NOW. But there’s so much of it that it never really ends up going anywhere. So I made a system.…

Think About It (inspiring Wednesday)
I found this on pinterest today and it hit me. A lot of the time I feel so young (I am young :P) and lost and like none of the stuff I’m doing really means much, because there’s so much out there I don’t know, and I’m making so many mistakes that I don’t even…
