Great Things Take Time and Patience
“I dress myself, not to impress, but for comfort and for style.” -Lindsey Wixson It is true. I found the most comfortable dress pants and snagged them in like four colors. I didn’t always have the freedom to shop for professional wear, mostly because I didn’t do anything that required them. But then when itContinue reading “Great Things Take Time and Patience”
Gentle
Wow, I had to be gentle with myself today. And the gentleness really won the battle! I just started being gentle almost sarcastically. It felt like sarcasm because I didn’t believe it would really boost my mood. It did! I think it improved my whole day. How did your day start? How’d it finish?
Freedom I’ve Found You
“Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man’s lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one’s self.” -Max Stirner Once I adopted this mindset all of my actions gained more intention. Taking responsibility and developing a healthy amount of disciplinesContinue reading “Freedom I’ve Found You”
Weird Life
It has been a weird two years, and this past year has been the weirdest of them all. I appreciate the weirdness. At the same time, I wonder if it’s going to keep getting weirder or if it’s going to reach a weird climax and get not so weird again? But then again, maybe it’sContinue reading “Weird Life”
So Ready
I am so excited to be at the end of my novel! AH! I’m going to read through it maybe two more times and then get ready to start sharing this work of art. I like to think of it more as a work of art than your typical novel. It’s weird, like me, butContinue reading “So Ready”
Unique is Superpower
I was not born or raised to be like everyone else. My quirks are what set me apart, at least that’s what I tell myself. I’m kind of awkward, kind of emo but love glitter and pink. I’m an annoying overachiever with healthy boundaries. Weird, I know. I’m a recovering workaholic who likes to sleep.Continue reading “Unique is Superpower”
Art Enables Us
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” -Thomas Merton This quote is exactly what phase I’m in right now. Today was a good writing day for me. A lot less receptionist, a lot more artist. You know, I war against becoming that woman who is ruled by her homeContinue reading “Art Enables Us”
Unmasking
“To be an artist, you don’t have to compose music or paint or be in the movies or write books. It’s just a way of living. It has to do with paying attention, remembering, filtering what you see and answering back, participating in life.” -Viggo Mortensen I’m getting back to myself and focusing on wrappingContinue reading “Unmasking”
Washing the Dust Off
“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” -Pablo Picasso The daily dust piles up when you don’t take time to wash it off. That’s why God took the 7th day to rest. The world will chew you up and spit you out with not one ounce of sympathy.Continue reading “Washing the Dust Off”
