There is life, there is living
“To communicate something of what I feel about what we do as artists, as musicians and as human beings. The sun will not fall down from the sky if there are no more [artists]. The world can and will go on without us but I have to think that we have made this world a…

Agreements
I’m currently doing some projects with a brilliant and wonderful producer and although I’m in-love with the work I’m doing there (lots of script reading, searching for projects to produce, events, chatting and editing), what I most adore about it all is where I get to go.It’s to a place that is over three acres…

Finding balance
Since moving into my flat on the 7th, I\’ve been go, go, go every day. New place here, new place there, do this chore, that one, get this, get that. I was literally running myself down by doing so much. Yet I couldn\’t slow down because there was so much to do and I was…

Being me
At eleven, my fifth grade teacher ruthless tore up in front of the class a beautiful drawing I had done, citing that tracers talentless fools had no place in her room. At thirteen I had my third ankle surgery (one on the left, two on the right) and my doctor said, �What a shame. You…

Being authentic
There are a lot of writer’s who write the same way; they follow the rules to a t, use the same language, and cover the same subjects. They write in some voice that isn’t truly their own because they think that’s what they have to do to be published or accepted.At first, the reader doesn’t…

Post-SXSW
I went for one reason, and came home with another; a sign of a good trip.It was spent dishing with a friend, discovering new tea and meeting fabulous people (especially those who cheered at the awards show, sat with us at the award show, and took us to dinner after said award show).I didn\’t realise…

Creating
There’s a lot of things I’ve been doing lately – reading far too many books at once, discovering latte’s, healing dying plants, chatting up friends on the phone, working, designing, napping. But one thing I’ve been doing more than any other is creating. It began with a fascination over Dawn’s Life Uncommon page, which is…

I, like everyone else, try
I, like everyone else, try to do so much.Sometimes I kick ass and sometimes, well, not so much. This week has been filled with the not so much. I’m confused and overloaded, so many projects going on yet not enough. There’s no direction, no concrete floor to stand on, I feel sometimes as though I’m…

Who are you?
Yesterday I met with my docent class from the art museum and we were introducing ourselves to others. Of course, people used labels instead of telling us who they really were: I’m a mother, I’m a housewife, I’m retired, I’m a teacher, I’m an office worker. I didn’t know anything more about them from what…
