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.

making sense of it all

i've been in a cleaning and reorganizing mood lately. part of this urge, i believe, is due to my never ending need for visual stimulation and change. part of it is a creative challenge; i have a lot of "stuff"... art stuff, craft stuff, home stuff... rearranging and reorganizing becomes a mind puzzle whose process is extremely satisfying to me. part of it is emotional purging as well. i gather things with an idea in mind, i hold onto the idea but put off its follow through...the stuff sits. eventually, i either get around to following through with the idea, or the "stuff" gets to be part of a once in a while purge.

cleaning and organizing my physical space is the physical process that overlays what is actually going on inside my heart and head; working through old dusty emotions, reorganizing and reprioritizing ideas, goals, dreams, wishes... and sometimes, letting go; casting off that which i no longer have need of and making room for the new, for growth, opportunity, the future...my future.

I've really been using your fabrics! You can probably recognize some of them if you look on my Flickr site. I'm coming in Feb....maybe Wyatt and I can cheer up some of the winter gloom!
