I reinstated my writing Instagram, but not my trad account. I missed my small community on the writing account. And a record of the last decade of my life. I've been on it a lot less though. So the other night my husband took me by surprise. I can't remember exactly what we were talking … Continue reading Instagram, Studio Life

Under the Weather
Sore throat. Headache. Racing thoughts. Sleeplessness. I am mentally and physically not feeling right. I think my mood is swinging. I could not sleep last night for hours because my mind was so intense. I ended up downloading 16 book samples in 20 min. I couldn't stop book shopping. I'm still going - on and … Continue reading Under the Weather
I Deleted my Writing/Personal Instagram
Last night I deleted my longest standing Instagram account. I have had it for at least 10 years. It was a record of my life. I decided I don't want to share my life on Instagram anymore. I kept my art account, as well as the account where I network dogs. But my days of … Continue reading I Deleted my Writing/Personal Instagram
New Color Project?
I'm excited. I've been planning a new project about color that I'm going to post on one of my other blogs. It currently houses some paintings and photos. I don't think I'll take those down, but I want to write short and spiritual nonfiction or prose poetry (and free verse) about each color, and in … Continue reading New Color Project?
Writing Free Verse
For the first time in awhile, I wrote a poem I posted on Windchimesandstars.com that wasn't a prose poem! I still remember how, believe it or not. I have fallen in love with the surreal prose poem. But sometimes I thirst for white space. I want to experiment with it and let it set the … Continue reading Writing Free Verse
Welcome to My Refinished Space
I'm in my soft era. I want to write about my creative endeavors, marriage, motherhood, and Catholic faith. Of course I'll still write about submission, and also the Bipolar Disorder I struggle with. This is an honest diary. But I don't want as much acerbic content here as I have had in the past. I … Continue reading Welcome to My Refinished Space
Recovering
I still feel a deep hurt. OCIA starts soon. I scheduled confession for Tuesday. My kind husband is trying to cheer me up. I have to remember maybe next time dc will be better, because my husband has to go back at some point whether it breaks me or not. I am already suffering from … Continue reading Recovering
Autobiography in Colors
I was 11. I had a neon orange shirt from The Limited Too and dayglo orange shorts from the same trendy tween store, and I paired them together. I was aware this was an unusual fashion choice, but my goal was to inhabit, inbibe, imbue myself with, and commune with the essense of orange and … Continue reading Autobiography in Colors
A Week of Struggle
There's no getting around it. This week has been an absolute struggle. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. I'm exhausted on a spiritual plane. But I need to count my blessings, so here's a partial list in no order. My husband has been traveling safely and calling and texting as much as he can, though, with the … Continue reading A Week of Struggle
Catholic Lay Creative Order
I really wish there was a lay order of Catholic creatives I could join. I'm researching Catholic literary societies and might join the one I found. Ideally, such a society would practice lectio divina daily. There would be weekly meetings to share or critique work. There would be some element of public service related to … Continue reading Catholic Lay Creative Order
