So it feels like a BILLION years since I last wrote.  This new job paces at a consistent frantic but it’s not to say it hasn’t been fun and rewarding (with a side of anxiety laden).  The big news is (and if you are on Facebook, you already know this) I have accepted the additional [...]

There is something to be said about an out of body experience.  I think we all have had them- for good reasons or bad.  And it becomes a situation where your instincts take over and your brain follows behind.  I have to say I’m not entirely comfortable with public speaking.  Yes, I do believe I [...]

This week I came to the realization that I could burn out.  It happens, I guess and with few distractions to keep me from my job I’m realizing that that whole balance thing I had been working on is in somewhat of jeopardy.  So when I went to weaving class this week, it turned out [...]

So adjusting to life here has been fine- there are some differences but for the most part I am settling into how things work around here. One thing to learn about is mail.  I cannot receive mail unless my name and apartment number is on my box.  UPS wouldn’t deliver because the building number was [...]

I know that I have been incommunicado for almost a month now but it isn’t without good reason.  To catch you up, I was able to ship out all 10 boxes of 27 pieces to my Iniciar show in Texas.  After what looked like a lovely opening, the show has been received well and I [...]
