It’s a new year and a new me. Change is everywhere and I welcome it in with open arms and a fresh perspective. I’ll started a new job this week, but not fully moving on from the old. I love the coffee shop and my relationships there. My heart is there. I cut back to one day a week. I don’t want to say good bye until I have no other choice. My pocket book is another matter entirely. Isn’t it everyone’s dream to do something you love and get paid well for it? Ya ya, well it’s mine too.

I cut my hair off too. I love it. I have to say my aspirations to grow it out didn’t last long. Knowing me, it was delaying the inevitable. I would like to say thank you to Shalina for keeping me accountable… even though I didn’t listen to you.

Yes folks, I’m feeling good and feeling thankful. I’ll write back soon.

Alright, I admit it. I’m traveling my way up the ranking to about a seven or eight now. Maybe I’ll even be a ten on my way to the theatre. I can’t wait!

On a scale of one to ten, ten being the most crazed fan out there (you know, the type who would cover their walls with posters and join the Twilight Fan Club online, or even produce a faux montage of random images and call it “Official Movie Trailer” on YouTube)… I would probably would fall around a four or even a five. Not the crazy nut follower, but definitely excited for the movie to come out.

I just finished the fourth book. I’m very sad that it’s over. I won’t give anything away in this post, mainly because my sister-in-law is currently reading them, and she would kill me! I just want to say that they were really fun to read. A great story with very interesting characters. I’m super looking forward to the movie on November 21st. All I really want to say is Edward Cullen, hubba hubba. A good-looking vampire can fall in love with me any day. I don’t think Stephen would mind

So life is a blank canvas, some say, waiting to be filled with whatever may come. I believe this. but how daunting is that thought. You have a blank canvas sitting in front of you. It’s perfect. Sturdy. Clean. Bright white. … now what?

Sometimes i wish that ideas came naturally to me. But then again, having an idea is only the first step. I have to then carry it out. Point “A” to point “B”, right? I wish it were that simple.

I finally have an opportunity to show my art in December at a local coffee shop. I’m stoked beyond belief, but needless to say, I’m struggling. I have ideas, but what to do about them, I’m not sure.

I’m going to grab a orange popsicle out of the freezer and mull it over for a while.

I’m sitting in Peet’s Coffee (yes, I’m here a lot these days) looking out the big glass windows to the park across the street. There’s this little girl peddling a tricyle as fast as she can go. Her little legs pumping around and around with all the energy her little body can muster. Her helmet, a few sizes too big, bounces from side to side as she goes. Just feeling a bit nostalgic. She looks so happy.
