Total Art Soul - for artists

Oh, I'm amazed you guessed that. Yes, I suffered much abuse at my schools, all by Catholic nuns. How terrible, when they're supposed to be kind and nurturing and examples to society.

they are mean because they are virginal

Well, you also have to remember that the Latin for "left" is sinistro... and we all know about idle hands...so when you put hands that are sinister together...well....let's break out the ruler and stop this insanity early on!!!!


Ah sinistro, latin is such a beautiful language, you must not have ruler scars on your knuckles!

Hehe! Yes, that must be it! lol

Hm, let's see ...

Aside from my creativity, I am devoted entirely to my family. I have a full time job in corporate America to support them. I've been working since I was out of high school, although my art has always been a willing companion. I've been working under the spectre of layoffs for almost a year now, which is kind of nerve wracking (I'll introduce you to my good friend *stress* next time I post), but it does serve to provide focus. I've been actively looking for other corp type work, too, and even in San Francisco, there are fewer opportunities than ever in the past.

Now, however, I feel this shift happening. I'm focusing more on my art, my creativity, and finding my work less fulfilling. There was a time when it was good for me. Problem is, I'm the breadwinner here in this posse, and if I don't have this job, we're gonna have to cut back on cable tv, if you know what I mean.

Anyhoo, I feel as though I'm being bapped around by the cosmos at any rate, and have faith that it'll turn out the way it's gonna turn out.

Definitely.

It sure is tough for many people out there. We live a really simple life, our house is virtually derelict but it's all ours, we have to grow our own food and heat with wood from the forest. That's tough in itself but we don't have that much day to day stress, we don't have to go to work every day and that freedom is worth a lot to us. We have also had 'proper' jobs in our lives so we know the difference. Right now with this economic recession, Joe and I feel quite lucky that we've chosen this lifestyle.

The universe always finds the right thing for us, you just have to trust in the process like you say.

Cathy, your life sounds like is a good life. I think simplicity is something we have to relearn after living in the big busy world.

I have to also say that each one of us has to be grateful for what we have in these tough times. There is always someone that has lost more then yourself if you look around!

It is a time in history, once more, that tremendous good can exist if we help each other as best we can.

Families unite Friends unite we make new Friends, and we live on in a kinder world.
