the innate sense of purpose and direction in my life is this: to love others and help them become whomever it is they are to become. to nurture and inspire the loving creative nature of people-whomever i encounter-so that they, in turn, might some day do the same for others, regardless of their chosen profession or path in life.
eventually i want to make a career out of offering art experiences, crafty adventures, creative fellowship, and the like to those who are lacking such outlets in their lives.

fifty shades of blue

i've been at odds with the mood monster as of late. my struggle is a combo deal of sorts; a great and terrible conglomeration of changing cold weather, the hormonal fluctuations that are womanhood, and dealing with the end of a relationship that hit me a bit harder than i expected...i think there's a bit of an immune system struggle going on in my chest as well, so that certainly doesn't help me to feel particularly well or upbeat! not that i want to throw a pity party for myself, i'm just processing...

i need to figure out some good ways to get the mood monster out of my system. i was doing well in the creativity department until last week or so. i had an extremely productive post break-up week, then, after about a week of up and down, things just went down hill creatively and i lost my gumption. i think that's where my immune system came into play as well. i feel like i'm just on the brink of getting sick, but my body continues to fight it....maybe that's why i want to sleep so much lately. i'm trying to indulge my body so as to allow it the energy to fight off whatever respiratory devil it's trying to fight off, but sometimes my creative brain wakes up late in the evening and the two have to duke it out to see who gets priority.
