Post Teen Lit Conference

Ok - so the gang at Grumpy Dragon is fantastic. We had so much fun today!! The potential snow scared off alot of the teens that had planned on coming, but it was still a fairly good turn out. I am thankful that the amount of snow that was planned waited till this evening to fall. I wonder just how big the storm really would have been if there wasn't a collective thought of "please don't snow!!" . Regardless of the turnout I got to hang with my publishers and two of the other artists that are also making coloring books. Hollyn and Claudia are the artists - have to say - they are fantastic - and so are thier amazing ideas. Hollyn started the ideas of the coloring books - and it's really taken off. It was a fantastic day - and a start of a beautiful career for me. Now I get to see where I can really take this thing. See what challenges I can put myself to. I am really looking forward to it, and after today I'm inspired to draw!! There isn't enough time for the amount of ideas buzzing around my head - so I'll take them one at a time, write down the rest and get to them when I have time. Oh such a beautiful wonderful fun day!! Thank you all that got to spend it with me - my heart is light with ideas and concepts and the faith to dream!

Be inspired - be very inspired!!

The house is quiet. It is strange still not having my kids full time. I thought I would find myself endlessly creating with wild abandon. That hasn't been the case. In fact most of the time I spend the time reflecting on what makes me tick. I have told my therapist I am my own best subject - I honestly mean it. I have turned my life inside out and backwards in my mind in the attempt to seek a healthy mentality. My life isn't that different from most people - we all have our trials and our tribulations. We all face challenges in a myriad of ways and live the life we've been given in the ways we see fit. What I'm finding as the days pass and I get used to being on my own is that creativity still runs through my veins as strongly as ever. It is presenting itself in different ways though. I write alot more, I've reinvented my wardrobe, My arrangements are getting better and quicker. My jewelry is taking on a whole new flavor, and I have a collection of sh...

3am

Here I sit looking at my computer while my family sleeps. My mind is going in circles over the movies I've just watched. The Book of Eli and then followed by Pandorium . I can't help but feel there is a personal message I'm just barely touching upon. A concept that hasn't quite sunk in that I'm missing. In the Tarot deck there are several cards where the person is chained or tied up - and the chains are broken. They are choosing to stay in their own paradigm out of fear to reach out to another life, or lifestyle. To break out of the "norm" into a happier life. I am certain that is what I have been doing. In The Book of Eli he is on a path of faith, of ultimate faith. Somewhere along the line I've lost that and just lived the life by going through the motions instead of REALLY living my life. In Pandorium perception twists the mind and causes so many issues for those that are awake on the ship. If they had just made different choices, learn...

New Life

So much has changed since my last post, and yet in a way nothing has changed. I am still seeking balance within myself. I am still trying to figure out what life and living is. The one answer I have found to be true is that I wasn't being true to myself. Due to that real failing towards myself I couldn't be much for anyone else around me. The past couple of months I have made tough decisions for the betterment of all. Some have called those decisions selfish - but if they had walked in my shoes and saw and felt what I felt they may or may not have made the same decisions. I don't posses any mind other than my own - and therefore cannot make any decisions beyond those I feel are the best for myself and my children at the time the decision is made. As a result of those decisions I sit in my own place, an apartment I now call home filled with light and color. There has been a series of emotional battles fought upon these floors - all within my own mind and heart. At f...
