what’s on everyone’s summer reading list?
I’ve already started a couple of these, so I’d like to add a few more. Suggestions would be appreciated :)
- Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
- Cold Mountain
- Remember, Be Here Now
- The Tao of Pooh
- Into the Wild (again)
Happy May!
So happy and grateful for this beautiful weather. I’m also reflecting a lot today. I can’t believe how fast time has gone by. A year ago, I was in a very different place both emotionally and spiritually. I was very depressed and going through many changes. But through that difficult time, I learned so much about myself. I made it my mission to try my best to radiate positivity, to appreciate myself, immerse myself in my interests, and to be full of gratitude as well as forgiveness. I’m so very proud of how far I’ve come in terms of trusting my spirit and that’s a great feeling to have! I love my reborn self and I am very excited to keep moving forward :)
Alginate fail! I totally moved my fingers around too much during this casting :P The texture of this batch really wasn’t as smooth as I’d like either, too many bubbles! Oh well, practice makes perfect right? :) This stuff is absolutely amazing though! Endless possibilities!
I’m moving to the Blue Ridge Mountains in May for the summer! I’m going to be working at Penland School of Crafts, right outside of Asheville, NC. It’s a creative sanctuary in the mountains where people come together to make beautiful things. I’m going to be working with the development team to learn about the ins and outs of running a non profit art organization and working on my artwork/exploring/getting inspired. This couldn’t be more fitting for me, I am so excited!
I’m liking my little doodles in my journal lately :)
Sorry, you’ll probably never hear them, unless I see you personally and you ask about it. I collected all of my sketchy recordings and half finished songs and jumbled them together to form this. Mostly for myself. It’s basically an audio diary… which is why I’m very reluctant to share these sounds. I don’t consider myself a musician of any sort—I’m pretty much self taught, and only know the basics along with my own experimentation. All I know is these recordings hold a lot of feelings that I felt during this time period and listening to them allows me to reconnect with those experiences. I also really like that I made something purely for me— it’s a good thing to do.
