Almost one year later

I never stopped drooling, I just stopped wanting to talk about it.  I’ve been ‘angsting’ this past year over things I am unable to understand nor change.  Get this…

“Life is a ripoff when you expect to get what you want.  Life works when you choose what you got….to move on, choose it.”

If that sounds familiar, you are oh so many years old, as I am, and you heard it at the EST training.  (Erhart Seminar Training)  Werner Erhart.

I’m gonna try that and get back to you later.  In the meantime I want to start talking again.

For those who know me, I’m the hands that work the Riverwoods Art Farm, creating personalized scrapbook covers in 3-D for HUNDREDS of pre-teenagers all over the country.  Done it for 14 years and I am SO OVER IT.  With the encouragement of my artist-daughter (known for her ‘Raised on Sandwiches’ blog), I am shedding a huge body of artwork like a chocolate lab in summertime. I say, “encouragement”, but it was more like an intervention.

I have turned back to my childhood obsession with all things colorful and sparkly.

BEADS, SEQUINS, RHINESTONES …..and making jewelry.  Next time, I will show you what I’ve made over the summer. BEADING AS THERAPY.
