Summer time

I've been in Wisconsin for the last month and a half. I happen to be in my hometown. It is a strange visit,very familiar yet very different. I have had a strange twist in life many times, and this may be one of them. The smell of the water and the humid summer nights make me feel kind of safe, like you do when you are a little kid. It is a little wistful though, and I am leaving really soon back to the land of Portland, Oregon. The place I have called home for a long time now. Back to a different life sort of. Wrapping up summer school, and that will be the end of college for a while. I am super happy about it, I need a long vacation. I have been going for six years in a row full time, and have no idea how the heck I pulled that one off, considering all the traveling I did the whole time. All I have to say is, I did piss off a lot of teachers, and I always apologized! I'm not sure that I owe school for being smarter, although it did introduce me to some things. I think ultimatly life picks up where school leaves off.

Well enough of my school ramble.

I recently did a hand-drawn logo for this awesome wedding photographer in Portland. Check out his web-site: http://www.thephotographers.us/

I also have some prints for sale in this local shop that features some other really great Portland artists: http://tolivarportland.com

Whole Earth Festival 2010

On my way to the Whole Earth Festival, got some new prints all made up... and hopefully I sell some! That would be awesome because I haven't been making very much money since October!! The WEF is in Davis, California at the University, and is a sustainable hand crafters fair! It is really cool, and the weather is usually beautiful!

Beltaine Birthday

So here it is the first day of being 31! It is cloudy, with little birsts of sun. I jumped the hurdles and crossed bridges that needed to be crossed this year. More so than any other year of my life. I have almost accomplished everything on my list of stuff to do in my twenties. I am getting my BA this summer finally, and then getting my MFA will finally be the end of my educational goals. I have seen this country all over, and am content with the amount of traveling I have done. I just need to see Europe. I am slowly building up my small business, and will have a clothing line together in a few weeks. I also have my artwork together for prints, and have been silk-screening some new designs on paper. What can I say? I am happy with the direction my life has taken, the darkest days of this past year are over. I am looking ahead, never behind.

Matters of the heart take their course, and it takes courage to follow your heart. Sometimes we listen to it, other times we try to quiet it. But no matter the situation of my heart, I always look forward to things working out for the best, and never give up that the future will bring amazing things. Sometimes hardships happen, and what we do in those moments will test our character and happiness. You can choose to let these moments be poetry in your mind and heart, everything is a choice.
I always try to turn sadness into inspiration, and seeds of happiness. I hope you can too.
