Well enough of the shoulda, coulda, woulda and it's just time to do it. A friend was so kind to remind me today that it's never to late and when you figure out what you want, do something about it.

I've had my <a href="http://arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject/">sketchbook</a> for over a month now. It sits there in my studio..mocking me. Blank and cold and cream colored. I tortured it a bit the other day - tore a page out of it - and certain I heard it wince. That's what it gets for being blank, uninspiring and uppity. There are <a href="http://anaisleecreative.com/2010/09/the-project-started/">excited</a> artists who are <a href="http://arthousecoop.com/users/robertabaird/portfolio">filling up the pages</a> while mine sit empty and impatient. Oh yes, <a href="http://thepunkhippie.blogspot.com/2010/07/by-popular-demand.html">some of them</a> have even taken their journals apart to reconfigure into something unusual and are now restitching them back together. And frankly..I want to SCREAM! I'm seeing how far behind I am and how uninspired..it's awful!</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I went out on a limb and joined in the project and both life and my ideas have gotten the best of me. I can't watch this train leave the station without me! I have to finish this..I have to leave my mark behind. This sketchbook is my scream to the world, "Hey! I'm out here you know!" and if I miss out - well it will have been self-sabotage and that damn sketchbook knows it. I want to be a title in the Brooklyn Art Library..I want to be a book that becomes old and tattered that someday someone flips through only to become curious as to who I was and what I did and where I lived. It's a small piece of immortality (even if only for a time) at a time in my life when I'm not even sure that I'll be missed once I exit the planet.</span></div><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">And then I recalled a poem by Edgar Allen Poe (one of my favorites really) of a raven that mocked him much like my sketchbook. And I thought for a moment that I could glean some insight until I recalled the whole story and remembered that the narrator in the poem actually dies from fright. *sigh* My muse better show up QUICK because there's no way in hell I'm going to die from the fright of a sketchbook. </span>What's My New Normalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04414559947607713756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647219678529787288.post-45534500795852779522010-10-07T13:30:00.000-07:002010-10-07T13:37:07.711-07:00Thursday Shmersday<div style="text-align: center;">I'm excited for <span style="font-size: large;">"Sparkles, Bikinis and Martinis" </span>next week.....<br />
I'm stoked to help support a few local ladies with some business. Lilikini, Hawaiian made bikinis and fabulous jewelry from Jodie Kanuha. The best part is that I get to hang out with a bunch of amazing and talented ladies! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hk13XELbOvc/TK4tk4s2drI/AAAAAAAAAME/438QbzVNBDs/s1600/sadie_blue_layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hk13XELbOvc/TK4tk4s2drI/AAAAAAAAAME/438QbzVNBDs/s400/sadie_blue_layout.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I am really missing my friends today and I can't seem to shake it. I love it here in Hawaii I do and it is starting to feel like home. I have met some remarkable people and my connection with them is amazing...almost as if we have been friends for years. Not sure how to explain it but I can feel the love from Colorado and I can't help but think...is that where I should be? (I'm totally confused)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Moving here was a challenge for sure...and I did it! I am very proud of myself for accomplishing it and am very glad I decided to follow through with it. However yesterday when I was chatting with a girlfriend from Highschool (The Prom Queen) she said I keep telling myself Prom Queen don't bug her she is trying to accomplish something for herself so don't hound her with asking for DETAILS. She said she is super happy for me and am hoping that I get to where I want to be so that I can come home soon. HOME...I don't know where that is right now? Strange.....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The topic she choose was "The Greatest Story Ever Told" Her transition from Colorado to Kona. I truely can't wait till to see the finished copy and just knowing that this will forever be housed in the Brooklyn Art Museum makes my heart sing! Photos to come to stay tuned.<br />

Mattie and my mom hit it off and have been hanging out ever since! The part I love the most is that whenever Mom and Mattie hang out, Mom brings home delicious FRESH veggies!!!!!! I have been eating so healthy that it's scary...well except for the handful of doritos or spoonful if toasted coconut ice cream :) Enough about my lovely eating habits and on to the FUN stuff.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>The 2nd Annual Don The Beachcomber Mai Tai Festival was on Saturday and 3rd Eye Blind had a concert Pool Side. Talk about good times. There were many interesting things happening and lots to look at for sure! Check out a group photo of some of the individuals that I mingled with...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hk13XELbOvc/TGilxytIHLI/AAAAAAAAAKU/PkxjXKgbmI4/s1600/DSCF1109.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hk13XELbOvc/TGilxytIHLI/AAAAAAAAAKU/PkxjXKgbmI4/s400/DSCF1109.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I must admit the Mai Tai's were yummy and everyone was in good spirits. I needed a good night out with a few laughs. I ran into my friends Charlie and Sandy (LOVE them) and we exchanged the usual </div>kiss, hug and 411 in 2 minutes or less while we indulged in Mai Tai's and then buzzed around the room. I can't wait to watch Bronco Football with Sandy...she's a hoot and a holla!<br />
Kenni had movie night with friends and Mom relaxed at home with her feet up and a good book...Everything was almost perfect. The only thing missing were these ladies...<br />

The pool sure was magical that summer and I so miss our regular brunches poolside. Whether it was a BlueMoon and Popeyes or Budlight and Subway either combination seemed comforting while we would read trash mags and decompress from the week. I love you and I miss you and just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and sending you good vibes. Smile friend I hope to see you soon.<br />
Ok I found this one as well and just think it's cutest photo EVER!!! Cole is so sweet, please give him hugs and kisses from me!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kenni says to me today...mom, I had a great day at school I am "Fact Master" incase you were wondering and lacrosse practice was tons of fun!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I'm moving and stepping out of my comfort zone to experience life....SCARY! I can't remember the last time I did something for the first time. I am comfortable and safe here and think it's about time that I step to the edge and feel that feeling. You know that feeling of your heart thumping and your palms sweating and your mind thinking what the hell happends next. Then you take a deep breath and come to terms with whatever is holding you back from taking that next step and make the decision to let it go and move past it so you can move forward. The decision to stop letting the past affect your future...this is what I want! </div>I think it will not only make me a better person but a better mom as well.<br />
