THREE P'S

PERSISTANT, PATIENT, AND PASSIONATE.  THOSE ARE THE THREE KEYS TO LIVING THE LIFE YOU WANT.  IF YOU'VE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING A DREAM, A REALITY, COME EXERCISE THE MOMENTUM ENVOLVED IN LIFE.  IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE DAILY WORK, COME ENJOY A PASSION AND MAKE IT WORK AS A VOCATION.  IF EVER IT WERE TRUE, THINK OF ALL THE FAMOUS PEOPLE GETTING STARTED WITH A DOLLAR AND A DREAM.   OR GARAGE BANDS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS.  IT WE WORK HARD, TRY TO STAY FOCUSED, AND KEEP EYES ON THE PRIZE...IT'S A POSSIBILITY...

ABOUT AN ARTIST RETREAT

I GOT A GREAT IDEA, IT HAS TO DO WITH MAKING A PLACE FOR ARTISTS TO COME AND EXXRESS THEMSELVES.   I WOULD LOVE A RETREAT THAT INVITES DIFFERENT KINDS OF ARTISTS TO COME AND TEACH THEIR CRAFT TO THOSE WHO WANT TO LEARN.   I COULD TEACH ENCAUSTIC TECHNIQUES OR PAINT PLEN AIR, PERHAPS A WRITER WOULD LIKE TO TEACH HAIKU. ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO DO SOMETHING CREATIVE BEFORE YOU MAKE A BIG DECISION.  IT PUTS THE MIND INTO A TRANCE AND THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND CAN TAKE OVER.  WHENEVER I AM PICKING UP AN OBJECT, THE WORLD SPEAKS THROUGH IT.  I WONDER WHAT THE FORMER OWNER THOUGHT, KNEW, AND FELT...IT'S A LOT OF FEELINGS THAT RATCHET IN.  OK, I GOT IT, WE DO IT BECAUSE OF THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE COME AWAY WITH, THE CONNECTIONS...IT IS A MAKE IT...MOMENT

ALWAYS RAISING THE BAR(N)

WELL, THERE IS TRUTH IN NUMBERS.  IF YOU CAN BELIEVE,  YOU CAN DO IT.  I ALWAYS WONDERING WHAT THE NEXT RIGHT THING IS.   SOMETIMES IT'S READY,  SOMETIMES IT IS A PROCESS.   I AM HAVING A BARN SALE TO RAISE MONEY FOR MY ROOF, MY WOOD PELLET STOCKPILE...COME ONE, COME ALL...ITS THIS WEEKEND AUGUST 2ND AND 3RD FROM 8 'TILL 4.  LOTS TO DIG THROUGH, I HAVE THINGS THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN IN YEARS BURIED AMIDST BOXES,  ASSEMBLAGE CARNAGE, DUSTY BUCKETS, YOU NAME IT...YOU'LL PROBABLY FIND IT.

THE TRANSFORMATION BEGINS

ALRIGHT, SILLS ASIDE, TRYING TO BUTTON DOWN MY HOME FOR NEXT WINTER.  I AM TRYING TO CREATE A WARMER,  CLEANER,  MORE GREEN HOME.   I HAVE HAD IT PAINTED,  THE ROOF IS GOING ON AS WE SPEAK.   I MISSED MY WINDOW TO WORK ON MY PLANTING BED,  BUT THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR.   I NEVER THOUGHT APR HOW MUCH WORK AND MONEY THESE PROJECTS WOULD COST.  

IMAGINING A WORLD

ARE YOU TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE WAY TO UNBLOCK YOUR WORLD, DISILLUSIONED WITH THE WORLD IN GENERAL, BECOME A TRIED AND TRUE DREAMER.  THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT.  WE DREAMERS

READING IS FUN...DA MENTAL

ALWAYS A SADNESS WHEN A FEAR ASSIGNS ITSELF TO TRAGEDY...FEAR CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT PERMISSION.  IF I WENT TO THE TROUBLE OF TRYING TO COMPLETE ALL OF THE THINGS ON MY LIST OF THINGS, IT HAS TO HAVE SIGNIFICANCE.  THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME CRAZY THAT I HAVE.   LOOK INTRO THIS FEAR.   IT ISN'T CRAZY ANYMORE. 

WITHIN THE CONFINES OF A BARN

ARE YOU READY FOR DRAMA?  I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE MIND OF THE CRAZY... ARE YOU READY TO BECOME PART OF THE EQUATION.
