CAN WE WANT FOR ANYTHING

IF I AM TRULY HONEST, I WILL ALWAYS BE AN ADVOCATE FOR THE UNDERDOG. IT SEEMS NO MATTER WHAT, I I TRY TO BE AN ADVOCATE FOR THE MOST UNDERSTOOD, THE MOST UNDERAPPRECIATED, THE MOST UNLOVED.  I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, MAYBE IT IS TRUELY WHAT I FEEL THAT I DESERVE, OR CAN RELATE TO, IT SEEMS THAT IT IS ALWAYS  AN INTERESTING TIME WHEN YOU STIR THE POT WITH QUIRKY INDIVIDUALS.  I LOVE WHAT I DO, I AM ALWAYS MEETING UNUSUAL PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT ARE JUNK AND ANTIQUE COLLECTORS. 

A PINTEREST BLITZKRIEG

I HAVE BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING MY SHOP TO TRY AND CREATE INTEREST....SO I'M USING PINTEREST AS MY METHOD.  IT WOULD BE GREAT IF I WAS BIG ENOUGH TO HAVE AN ADVERTISING BUDGET BUT ALAS,  I AM BUT AN ARMY OF ONE AND ONE SMALL DOG.   I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT WE CAN TAKE ON THE WORLD... BUT THE REALITY IS THAT WE CAN ONLY TAKE ON SO MANY THINGS... BESIDES WORKING AND KEEPING THE HOME, I AM MAKING MY ART ASSEMBLAGE DEBUT IN NOVEMBER...I KEEP ON THINKING THAT IF I WORK STRAIGHT THROUGH, I'LL BE ABLE TO SHOW ALL NEW WORK.

ARE YOU READY FOR COLD?

I AM ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT HOW TO GRACEFULLY MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER SEASON OF COLD...I PRIDE MYSELF IN THE ABILITY TO LAYER EVERYTHING FROM CLOTHES TO HOME DECOR...WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED...SO FAR...WITH A WONDERFUL BEGINNINGS OF AUTUMN.   IT'S BEEN COOL AND CLEAR,  JUST THE SORT OF NEW ENGLAND FALL YOU ALWAYS HOPE FOR.
THEN THE REALITY OF WINTER CAME.  I FORGET (AS WE ALL DO) HOW COLD AND MISERABLE THE GREAT WHITE NORTH CAN BE.   I WISH I HAD GOTTEN THE PELLET STOVE HOOKED UP FIRST.  I KNOW THEN I WOULD BE HOT.   THE NEW YEAR JUST TURNED OVER.  RESOLUTIONS ABOUND.  I THINK THAT BY

I AM NOT A SKEPTIC

ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE CAN MAKE A BETTER LIFE?  START WITH YOUR OWN.  IT MAY SEEM HARSH BUT OTHERS CANNOT BE THE ONES TO DETERMINE WHAT SHAPE YOUR LIFE IS IN.   I HAVE FOUND THAT THROUGH THE MANY TRAVELS I HAVE VENTURED ON, I HAVE LEARNED ONE THING.   IT IS THAT WE CAN  ONLY MAKE OURSELVES HAPPY.   TO THINK THAT A RELATIONSHIP CAN SOOTH A WEARY SOUL IS DAMAGING AND NOT REALISTIC.   THE FAIRYTALE IS OVER.   I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT LOVE IS THE ANSWER. .. WHAT WAS THE QUESTION?  I GUESS IT IS GOOD NOT TO EVER BE DISAPPOINTED WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE.  NEVER THINK THAT SOMEONE'S ELSE CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY.

LOVE WHAT YOU DO AND....

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT OUT.   LOVE WHAT YOU DO AND THE MONEY WILL FOLLOW.   IT TAKES TIME,  AND YOU WILL STRAY, BUT DIG IN AND CHANGE COARSE IF NEED BE, BUT DON'T SETTLE IN LIFE.   MY MOTHER TOLD ME, SHE TOLD ME IN HER ACTIONS,  SHE LIVED LIFE IN FEAR,  SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT WOMAN,  NOT JUST TO HER FAMILY, BUT TO THE WORLD.   I WANT SO MUCH MORE FROM MY LIFE,  I WISH I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT MY LIFE WAS GOING TO BE LIKE,  I HAD BEEN SO INTRIGUED ABOUT MY THEN HUSBANDS CAREER THAT I LOST MYSELF IN THE SHUFFLE.   I WISH I HAD SET MYSELF UP WITH A CAREER, THEN WHEN HE DITCHED ME FOR THE DOMINICAN HOMEWRECKER, I WOULD HAVE HAD A PLAN.   I WASTED LOTS OF TIME BEING A PARENT... HIS CRAZY LIFESTYLE LEFT LITTLE TIME FOR KIDS STUFF.   I AM STILL BITTER,  I WISH I COULD SAY THAT I'M OVER IT BUT I'M NOT.   HE HASN'T SEEN THE KIDS IN 6 YEARS.   HOW CAN YOU DO THAT.   THERE MUST BE A DISCONNECT.  HOW CAN YOU BE SO CRUEL?  I DIGRESS.
