Breaking Point

I’m coming very close to reaching mine.  Although, I do not believe I will actually break.  Moving to Seattle has forced me to open my eyes up to some realities about myself I have not wanted to face.  I came here with the intent of finding a way to live off of my art and [...]

Breaking Waves
Breaking Waves

I like the way my brain works. One must decide to embrace the lows after the highs. The wave I’ve been riding since Burning Man has finally decided to break. Los Angeles is an appropriate place for that to happen. The last time I was here was about ten years ago, I lived in Hollywood [...]

Burning Man 2011
Burning Man 2011

Burning Man 2011 Right at this moment I am sitting alone inside a tent at the Sierra Hot Springs in Sierraville, CA. Today is Thursday, September 8, 2011. Two days before today I was leaving Burning Man for the first time in my life. It certainly won’t be the last. Erin and I are soon [...]

Seattle Hempfest 2011

    Wow!  This was a fun ride.  Since I’m new to Seattle, obviously this was my first Hempfest.  Erin and I were graciously given some space to sell our creations by the very kind and generous DanceSafe organization.  We were right in the mix of everything by the dopest music and funnest people.  There was never [...]

Attracting All the Pieces

    Learning to appreciate all of life’s details as they intermingle together and build upon each other into the greater picture continues to offer a plethora of positive consequences.  That is to say,life tends to reward as the picture becomes clearer and our own intentions become more honorable.     Lately I feel like a magnet pulling everything I [...]

Going With the Flow

    Well, a million and one new things are going on in my life right now.  I have made it to Seattle and am soaking up this new environment as much as I can.     The first week was a little overwhelming, I had just spent the previous 5 days in a car with my mother [...]

Introduction

Alright, here goes nothin’.  I’ve had it in the back of my head to start blogging for awhile now.  For a number of reasons.  I’m one of those people that feels largely misunderstood by most other people, including my family.  I’m also one of those people that has a million ideas running through their head [...]

Ask and You Shall Recieve

    It is true what they say.  There are no coincidences in life.  You need only pay attention and these so called coincidences will begin to make sense.  The more you pay attention the more you will notice.  Sometimes we are lucky enough to have something smack us in the face with such clarity there [...]

Fasting

Day one of a three day fast begins today.  This is the second time in my life I’ve fasted.  It’s an interesting challenge I think I’ll continue for the rest of my life. But, this fast has a bigger purpose.  Join me! Article source: http://butteryvanilla.blogspot.com/2011/04/fasting.html

Happiness

    Is being happy really this elusive, slippery thing?  I don’t think it is.  I believe happiness starts with one good day.  Starts there, but surely doesn’t have to end there.      For most of my life, up until a few years ago, I was anything but happy.  I didn’t even realize how truly unhappy [...]

Thoughts

So it’s occurring to me…well, that’s not true, this isn’t a new occurrence but instead a new perspective.  This whole blogging experience is completely new for me. I find myself browsing through other people’s blogs and seeing all these themes. Whether it be documenting the life of a child or family as they grow or [...]

Moving to Seattle!

    This is the big topic in my life right now.  Only those who know me can even begin to fathom how huge of a decision this is for me.  Of those few even fewer understand why that really is.  For people that believe in diagnosis, I say I’m an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person).  It [...]

Finding My Voice

    Finding my voice.  It’s a funny thing.  It’s like those three words together aren’t even part of your vocabulary before it actually happens.  If someone would have told me two years ago that they were “finding their voice” I would not have comprehended it in the slightest.  But once it happens, even at the [...]

Not Slacking.

    I know, it’s been awhile since I’ve written but it’s not because I’m a slacker.  I do as I’m inspired to do.  I have my hands in so many different creative things that I tend to bounce from one to the other for numerous different reasons.  This blogging thing is just another one of those [...]

Life’s Little Curve Balls…

    If I had to pick one point of view to to share with the rest of the World it would be my belief in the importance of change, and not only that it’s important but that it is inevitable, and not only that it is inevitable but that it is within our knowledge and [...]
