The other morning, I woke up and felt like crap. I'm sure you're shocked. Lisa not feeling well? What a rarity! But for some reason, I realized that one thing that would help that day was a new camera. I just had the strongest itch to get a new camera. And very quickly, I settled … Continue reading New Camera
Day 1
We lost power around 3 am. We couldn't get the generator on until close to 4 pm. The generator can't run the ac or the stove or most of our outlets, so I'm hoping this is the one and only day of no power, but we'll see. The storm swung south, so it wasn't as … Continue reading Day 1
New Med
Yesterday my mood plunged so low I got an emergency appointment with my doctor. He recommended an unusual treatment. Today was the first day I took it. I slept all morning except getting up briefly for lectio divina with my friend Y. Then I just drifted away. But then, around half past noon, I woke … Continue reading New Med
My Guilty Confession
I did it. I don't know if I'll keep it, but I got one. I've been trying to build a Youtube to ultimately support my dog rescue dreams. However, I only seem to want to make short form content, which does not suit YouTube. Getting back on Instagram was a no thank you, and you … Continue reading My Guilty Confession
Screw Polaroid
My Instax square film is getting harder to get and instax square cameras are getting harder to buy because Polaroid is litigious, and evidently thinks they own the square format. News flash. Suck it. You don't own the 1:1 aspect ratio. The essential issue is that polaroid makes an inferior film. So they have to … Continue reading Screw Polaroid
I Wouldn’t Monetize Being a Trad Wife
I used to be in the tradwife space on Instagram, but now I am working on short videos about my life as a Catholic with a creative calling. (I am seeking the best platform for what I make). On one hand I hate doing it because the truth is, I don't love being on camera, … Continue reading I Wouldn’t Monetize Being a Trad Wife
Busyness
Busy week. I hung out with my mom on FaceTime one day, and my dad the next. I love talking to my parents. Today a package arrived - always a special event living on this island, it seems like. In the box was a set of Sennelier iridescent soft pastels I am so excited to … Continue reading Busyness
A Down Day
Today I attended a mom's meetup. It was fun, especially as it called for bringing some of my gorgeous sticker collection. But I left early and didn't feel good the rest of the day. I slept half the afternoon. Now I'm watching The Ritual with my family. I feel like hiding.

I'm part way through 3 books right now. This one is exciting because while I have read some old chinese poetry in school years ago, I have not read that much contemporary Chinese poetry. Of course, to be fair, American schools don't teach American contemporary poetry, either. But I am finding poets with provocative images … Continue reading Currently Reading
A New Art Process
Just a little mixed media photomontage I came up with this morning.
