Lately, I’ve noticed two things…1) I’ve barely been taking the time to write here, in this blog.  And 2) that I’ve been really focusing a lot of time and energy around being creative. You know, doing art for the sake of art. Funny how when you think about it, both are so closely related.  I Continue reading →

Back when I was in grad school, I did my final project on domestic violence.  At the time, I had recently worked as an intern at a local facility for court appointed, domestic violence offenders (the abusers) doing intake. It was a difficult job.  You’d meet these men (during my time, there was only one Continue reading →

They say that it only takes 10,000 hours before you are an “expert” at something…anything.  Well, I’m beginning to think that I may be well on the road to becoming a flea expert.  And not by choice! For the past three months or so, we’ve been dealing with fleas.  We really didn’t think it was Continue reading →

After a fun-filled weekend celebrating my husband’s birthday, I was more than ready to take part in my civil obligation and sit for jury duty.  That was until I called in to register and see if I was scheduled to show up. Turns out, out of all the repeated, highlighted and bolded information…phone numbers, juror Continue reading →

Did you know that there’s such a thing as Shiny Object Syndrome? Have you ever had one of those days where you know you have work to do, you’re trying to get something done (oh, I don’t know, like a newsletter or a blog post…let’s just say), but you find your attention being pulled in Continue reading →

Go for it now.  The future is promised to no one. ~ Wayne Dyer Wow. I guess I didn’t realize just how long I’ve been gone from here. My last post was Thanksgiving Day – over 2 months ago. Not cool. I think I’ve been avoiding coming over here because well, like the title says…life Continue reading →

I’ve been participating in NaBloPoMo for the past few years. Some years I finish.  Some years I give up. I wasn’t going to participate this year since I’ve kinda abandoned this blog (seems I spend most of my time on Facebook these days).  But I thought that maybe this might be just the motivation I Continue reading →

Well, I could whine and harp about how I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to blog in ages. But really, what would that accomplish? Instead I figure it’s best to acknowledge that I’m by no means perfect (who is?) and just jump right back in and start blogging again. And of course, Continue reading →

After a month or so of some June Gloom, summer has hit LA hard!  We went from days in the mid-70′s to days in the 100′s.  This is something I was hoping to avoid as much as possible. Luckily,  this year won’t be nearly as difficult as the last years.  While we are still in Continue reading →

And it’s freaking me out. Seriously. I’m currently working on the holiday gift guides for ConstantChatter.  That means, I have a LOT of boxes, envelopes, folders, papers and packing peanuts coming into this house.  And like last year, it seems that I’m just stacking the sample products on top of other sample products.  Which really Continue reading →
