Is 35 middle age?
Many of the women in my family live well into their nineties. I will not be middle aged until I turn 45. How grand is that; I have another 10 years before the infamous mid-life crisis!

Until then, I will continue living, creating and enjoying life all the while smiling wearing these sunglasses [...]

WHY-why

I began drawing this before Christmas only recently finishing it. It is drawn with various Pilot pens. Even the white is an opaque ink Pilot pen. The paper I drew upon is about 1/16″ or 2mm thick and slightly flecked and textured with color. It measures 5″ by 7″ or 152mm by 203mm
The original is [...]

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 [...]

Jesus knows…

…how to get the demons out.

There is a tropical Storm Named Noel traversing the Maritimes right now. I hijacked a camera and began clicking a few images of myself and seeing as I have not published ANY NEW photos to this blog of myself (in a year perhaps) I thought I would. The two above [...]

I am moving again – digitally that is to Wordpress.com and Flickr

Yes, that time of year has arrived where I must pay Hosting and Domain Name renewal fees. This year, however, I am solely renewing the domain name of http://jessicadoyle.ca.

I have enjoyed hosting a Wordpress.org Blog. I learned a helluva lot. The learning curve has become a burden I am sad to say, as I am [...]

Mother Earth is a Diva and the Chalice is an IUD

Mother Earth is a diva and the chalice is an IUD.
Could it be true?

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 [...]

I will be ripening until late summer. You can come and pick me on September 1st.

Blasted! How does one begin a post such as this?
Well, you begin by saying “I will return on September 01, 2007 to write and create on this Blog.”
I’ve been asking myself many questions as of late pertaining to life, blogging, love, family, work and creativity, and where it is that I want to be [...]

The economics of happy

First, smile, then roll up your sleeves and begin painting one wall at a time.
Over the last few days I have cleaned, painted, washed, scrubbed until sparkling and sweated it out with my Dad over town in the vacant two bedroom apartment that came up for rent this month. The apartment is beneath my maternal [...]

The voice of evolution is not processed meat

Sometimes we forget that what we do is only for one person. One person. We write, we podcast, we record. The audience is a sole human being sitting in front of their computer screen. The chance is strong that it will be one person reading what you write, draw or illuminate through blogging.
I remembered that [...]

She said I was silly

The puzzle pieces aren’t missing. They’ve been found and are sitting inside a box down in the garage. We placed them together carefully, fitting one to another staring, discerning whether they were the proper fit or not. Twenty-four pieces in all we pressed into shape in the front yard on top of a wooden plank. [...]

I am suffering from Internet Explorer – itis

Who would have thaught that not having access to my Power Book could cause a good crying fit.
I sit at my mother’s computer and stare, get frustrated with using Internet Explorer and it’s damn freezing and it’s inability to cope with modern day browsing and usability or lack there of. *SCREAM!*
Oh, I have numerous stories [...]

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 [...]

The Secret to Distilling Fog

Fog surrounds every fiber of Saint John this night. The city is quiet. Only the street lights are visible a block away. I look out the deck doors to the trees illuminated by one particular street light; they say nothing yet tell me so much.
I was born and raised here. My mind was elsewhere. It [...]
