Links of Not So Craziness

"There a very few moments in life that you get to sit back notice people’s genuine love of certain weather. Yes, everyone has a favorite season they love to chat about; but it’s very rare to find someone actually in love with a season. To be quite honest I still haven’t had that experience. I did, however, meet someone who made a convincing argument that perhaps it is better not to waste love on a season. They told me that loving a season is like loving a holiday, in the end you’ll find yourself chasing after something that happens regardless of your schedule and can’t care enough to come when you want or need it. They basically told me truly loving a season is like staying in a bad relationship because you’re afraid of being alone."

"say goodbye to that girl, who's forgotten her pride, say hello to the girl who is riding inside.
i am ready to fly, show me how to say goodbye to the old..."

I am using a bunch of links in this post because that is how I feel right now.  A bunch of things: all confusing and mixed up, but loving and so excited! But scared and not quite ready.  I am working toward this and just trying to organize myself while trying to find time to relax at times too.  I am being challenged this year in so many different ways, but my friends and family are my main inspiration, even when they disagree with me.  
I needed to update this, and get it across, because I've been so inspired and felt so much excitement and love this week, but it has been sooo hectic, and even now I don't know how I will get things done.  But maybe things are changing, and it's okay. It will be okay.

I had this great new idea today!  What if I painted/drew my own Christmas cards?!  I may just be adding to my pile of work, but I think I want to give it a shot.  So in the spirit of the 12 days of Christmas, I will paint 12 Christmas cards! Again, this will be first come, first serve!

"Why I'm Dysfunctional Today"

Things I've learned about being in the "real world" so far/or what I have experienced while still living with my parents:    Since I now schedule my own work time...                I like to get projects done one at a time before moving onto another one,         which then results in me undertaking this huge project, and working on that-which is usually not that important-not getting anything else done all day, and then wearing myself out because I feel like I didn't do anything (since I haven't finished the project).          That being said, I think all projects I have will take 1-3 days tops.  Not even close.         So then I tried to move on to scheduling my days about hour by hour, or 2-3 hours at a time.  This result?  Spending way too much free time on the computer and talking to friends, or not accounting for travel and eating time....

Some of you may know already, but for the past 11-12 weeks, I have been reading "The Artist's Way-Walking in This World" by Julia Cameron.  And I have already learned a great deal about myself, my art self, and fueling my creativity.   So for this post, I am extending on one of the "tasks," as well as sharing a tidbit of what I read.  "As artist's, we routinely tap an inner well, and the well is fed by our spiritual condition.  When we have kept our spirit carefully nurtured, the creative water seems to flow easily.  When our spirit is dried out with unacknowledged discouragement, our inner well runs dry."  "As artists, we don't want to be petty, but the truth is, we need  to be.  If we try to 'let go of' a creative slight, we very often simply bury it.  There, tucked neatly into our subconscious, it can do its slow and poisonous work.  Too embarrassed to repeat the 'tiny' comment to a friend on the way out the door fr...
