I realized today that I have not updated this blog in a very long time. I have become a facebook junkie, a part time artist, a super busy mom, and a very tired daughter. I am being pulled into so many pieces that I will definitely need to take time to put me back together. I find Facebook my outlet.. thought lately I am having a hard time keeping up. Finding great joy in reconnecting with my past friends from high school, part of the facebook addiction. I have also , with the help of my dear friend over at KotaPress, rediscovered my artistic side. Art helps to balance me, both with my life long journey in grief and with just life in general. The kids have been super busy with one competition after another, teaching me that both have amazing creative talents that come out in very different ways. Abby is very much into the inventive side of life. She looks beyond the ordinary to create something wonderful. Corey does wonderful work in speech, recently participating in a number of speech contests. He has a great humorous side and definitely adds a spark to any moment in time. He has the ability to make people laugh and he loves doing it. I have awesome kids. Recently, both kids have joined me in the artistic side of life, it is a way to express anger, happiness, or if they are missing their sister, a way to work through the feelings , the pain.My mom has recently moved to her very own house, moving her this week has been exhausting and an experience. Bear and I have spent every waking moment this past week moving her..and trying to set her up. I have hope that life will give her what she needs and she will move into a new direction. I find that she needs to be settled, this past 6 months were very unsettling for her. Even with this journey, one can find the art settling in..whether it be setting up mom's new house, or planning out her gardening or just being creative , the art is there. Mom tends to be crafty as well and I hope to get her involved in new projects.
This must draw to a close.. but I do hope to blog more often..as well as do more art... I need the balance...Thank you Kara.
