Watchellens:
via texturism: the power of vulnerability
A great TED talk to digest before the start of a new year.
This is the best thing I have heard in 2010. It is absolutely worth the 20:20 minutes.
“Believe that you are enough”.
My credo for 2011:
Embrace Vulnerability

Learn To Be Quiet
You need not do anything. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, just wait. You need not even wait, just learn to be quiet, still and solitary. And the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked. It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

True Confession Tuesday
I wish today were wrapped in fog, streaming rain
forming puddles in low spots on concrete. Cold
hanging in the air, my cheeks bright pink,
no wind, silence.
Take a stroll just listen to the emptiness.
And this one. Oh how I love this song too.

Hello GPOYW,
Nope, not gonna do it.
Some crazy person from high school has been posting yearbook photos of our class from grades 6 through 12 on Facebook.
I’m not thrilled.
Grade 9 through 12 are fine.
Grade 7 and 8 are acceptable.
But grade 6?
No. Not good.
In grade 6 I didn’t have braces yet.
I thought flannels, baggy jeans, and work boots were a good look for me
and a chin length bob...

True Confession Tuesday
I really, really want another tattoo and I want this one to show.
I’m also prepping for the reveal of my ink in front of my parents.
T-minus ten day until they officially flip their shit and I am NOT looking forward to the drama.
It seems like every time I see them we do this dance. I show them a bit of my changed self, they step back, react with confusion and fear. Everything they...
Confidence for good →
emphasisadded:
“People, both women and men, should be so fiercely passionate about good ideas that self-promotion is a natural extension. Otherwise, why is it worth doing in the first place? It’s when confidence and self-promotion are obfuscated from passion that the claims become flimsy and empty. Confidence can bridge the gap between desire and outcome as long as the integrity for what we...

A Word,
Please do not post 20 professional photos of your dog sitting on Santa’s lap on your Facebook wall, all saved to an album entitled “Lucy’s Very Special First Christmas”
It makes you look crazy.
**Did I mention the dog had three “costume” changes? Yup, that happened.

Don’t wait until you know who you are and what you’re about to start making things.
There’s a video of Rainn Wilson (the actor who plays Dwight on the office)going around of him talking about “creative block” and how to get over it. His advice:
If you don’t know who you are or what you’re about or what you believe in it’s really pretty impossible to be creative.

Hello Sucker Punch,
This is one of those vague posts.
You don’t have to read it if you don’t want to.
I’ve been called out by someone who knows me well, but has a very twisted perception of me. History…well let’s just say a lot of history and a lot of emotions were at play in the attack.
It’s not the first nasty email I’ve ever received and I’m sure it won’t be...
