"There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way it treats it's children."

"There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires."

Putting Myself Out There


I have been trying to come with an inaugural post that is “good” enough, but then I thought ”What the hell? Who am I trying to impress? This is my blog, my ramblings, and I’ll say whatever I want to say.” Nobody else likes it; well it wouldn’t be the first time would it? Anyways, enough of that.

So how is everyone on this fine June Friday? Ready for the weekend? I know I am; except I teach tomorrow from 10-12, then my Youngest Child’s graduation party is Sunday from 11-4 and I haven’t done a THING to get ready for it.  I’ll go grocery shopping tomorrow night (nothing like last minute, right?). We’re not a big group, maybe 25 total, and we’re having it at a local park so……….it’ll be fine. AND…………to top it all off, I have several pieces in the faculty show for Craft Alliance where I teach, the opening is tonight and I am pretty nervous. I mean, I make my art to satisfy myself, but I still want my fellow artists to at least think well of what I do, you know?
I haven’t really created anything specifically for public viewing since 2005, so…………….yeah I’m a little nervous.

I’ll have to let you know how it goes……..I’ll take some pics too. Until then, have a wonderful weekend wherever you are.

That wasn’t so bad for a first posting was it? I certainly hope not. :)

Until next time my friends,
