Etsy feels like an addiction

And I should know because I am an addict.
Four and half years ago when I was being treated for GHB addiction my doctor asked me what I planned to do for money. At the time I was just discovering the beauty of blogging and all the possibilities that it held: a way to share my [...]

And a wave of sadness washed over me

Between life becoming busy and life seeming mundane, grey and somewhat frustrating I can’t say that I haven’t been feeling sad lately because I have.
Sadness Rant
I’m tired of being single and feeling lonely
I’m tired of people writing and blatantly saying they are going to copy me but as they don’t sell on Etsy; it’s ok.
I’m [...]

Smelting Self Confidence

I walked into the kitchen to wash my hands and met a ghastly hilarious sink filled with smelt. It took me by surprise. I stepped back, laughed and walked to the bathroom to wash there instead.
My uncle had been ice fishing for smelt and Mom was thawing out the frozen fish for cleaning, then cooking.
Later [...]

Synchronicity

As human beings we search for connections, look for validation and adhere to the norm. Every now and then a new idea emerges from the masses taunting older symbols long since ingrained within the societal stigmata.
This idea softly floats about joining itself to others through the senses in both unconscious and conscious ways. Once spoken, [...]

Etching Memories Without Fear

In a moment our lives switch and adapt to our surroundings, yearning for alternative ways of thinking in approaching life.
When you meet new people that in itself creates new pathways in your brain causing reflection, affirmation and acceptance of what once was. Memories are created and we can either forget about them moving onwards to [...]

967 days later…

Memories accumulate over time interlacing overlapping each other causing fog to form at the base of one’s understanding. We see people in passing who at one time understood us; perhaps even loved us and whom we used to love to. They dwell between the nether regions of our souls; a place dark perhaps distraught from [...]

Artists Tip #15 – The truth behind the struggle

The truth behind the struggle
You hear people speak of the struggling artist. It’s almost a romantic notion to have that said to you or about you if you are in fact an artist. I hate that notion. You never hear of a struggling physician or a struggling carpenter. Only artist’s seem worthy of such a [...]

A Note on Censorship, Stats and Personal Well Being

Funny, all my google referers have disappeared from my stats.
I feel more censored at home than anywhere else on earth.
And I am well.
Ever get to that point where you need to have a good long freaking cry. Just crying for the sake of crying to feel good afterwords. Not unlike laughing hysterically yet you are [...]

Go in with a Positive Attitude

On my way to work yesterday I was complaining about having to go to work to my father, dreading the uneasiness (not the work itself) that seems to have rested over my place of employment. When we arrived at the store I opened the passenger door to get out and my Dad says to me [...]

I watched them pack or Seasons Greetings!

I watched them pack sunflowers
I watched them pack autumn leaves
I watched them pack orange berries
amidst stems and wreaths
I watched them count
I watched them punch it in
I watched them count
I watched them pack
it in…
to oversize black garbage bags,
Autumns last breeze.
It will not compost
As it is mostly plastic
Nor be loved
or be seen for a million years
lest humans [...]

Have you ever tried to work out the way you think.

I think about this person saying these things to another person.
“She is fabulous!
She is an artist”
“Oh really
tell me more”
Tonight it dawned on me. It rose up beyond the clouds into perception;
into reality.
I think about people and what they think of me
much of the time.
Is that,
what I am thinking?
No.
I think about those people saying things to [...]

How do you grieve?

Have a I lost something, misplaced it or walked away from it all together? Did I have a choice? Six months later it hurts like it was yesterday that he walked in, sat down beside me and said “I am leaving you.”
I made a phone call tonight. One that caused my soul to shatter, fall [...]

Is this what it means?

If you don’t say what you believe then what is it that you are saying?

The struggle can drive the best of us mad at times, leaving us breathless, pondering why and how it all began. If struggle exists every moment of our lives when is there time to evolve, embrace and hence, move forward taking [...]

7 Urgent Things

Today’s urgencies often mean nothing tomorrow.
(an emergency or a screaming hype might not be important in the long run)

Belonging is akin to feeling held, feeling at peace with whom one is, just as one is.
Exhaustion stems from the urgency to be. Is this similar to traffic?
Twisting onwards, upwards the drain yield beginning.
Half of everything [...]
