Okay, I have been going on and on about being with yourself when you’re afraid and then I got this fantastic comment from Kate bringing up some vastly important points which I will now attempt to comment intelligently about… warning: I may fail. Because this stuff is hard to write or talk about. At least […]

As you may have heard (since I’ve been dithering on about it, non-stop dithering cause I’m so exhilarated to be learning and creating again plus dissolving/having a relationship with my fears) I’m creating a digital hope fest to bring comfort and fear together not because the economy has exploded but because I’VE DISCOVERED I’M AFRAID […]

I’m wondering and thinking and experimenting with this idea of desire as separate from mood. It continues to excite and free me… and then that niggely nasty word should comes creeping in the door… and confuses me a tad…

I took yesterday off from writing and I was rather miserable. I could not make art. I felt fat and bloated and
didn’t even go to yoga! I didn’t want to read, I didn’t want to garden, I did not want to eat green eggs and ham, Sam I am. I was a dry, scratchy husk.
