Mama's got a New BLOG-ITUDE!

Well - where to start. Life could not be more hectic right now.

Son leaving for college in 6 days.

Daughter a junior in high school with a job, boyfriend, active social life and soon to be driving.

Classes starting back for me.

Working fulltime.

Some very scargy inevitable situations are coming to a head and hopefully coming to an end or changing in a way that will create a happier situation for my husband and myself.

And the usual money-worries.

I hope to be able to get used to life's interruptions some day. Just as things seem to settle in to a happy moment some other cog in the wheel slips into or out of place - footholds weaken, ground trembles, fear, worry and anxiety grab your heart, mind and soul to startle your insides to the point of a non-stop nausea.

But in all of this I want to say that I AM AN ARTIST. I seek to be creating, discovering, learning, teaching, opening the eyes of others.

My son is going on his own creative journey and I am watching him closely. I want to learn from him. My daughter is also my teacher. She is educating me in the world of nurturing. I have nurtured them both with my body, my mind, my soul, my heart and every cell of myself and now they are teaching and nurturing me.

Thank you God for the blessings ~ and those to come!
