Sizzle and Pop!

2 min read
It seems like forever since I was here....and wow I admit...I am in awe of the great artwork and photography I am seeing! 
I feel like a toddler who was just in Santa's lap!

So, I found some good stock... thank you muchly awesome stock providers...and I am trying to get my artsy side back.... She's been hiding for a few years...

We've missed you all! 

Help me make some yummy artwork ... I need the mental stimulation....

 


"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."

― Shauna Niequist, Cold Tangerines: Celebrating the Extraordinary Nature of Everyday Life

I want this!!  I shall have this!  Mark my words... this life that sizzles and pops and belly laughs... this is mine!

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
                 Mother Teresa

        Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
               William Wallace



           People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway.

            If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.

           If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.

                If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.

            What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.

            If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.

             The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.

            Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.

           In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.

                                 Mother Teresa

If you have taken the time to view my self portraits..you might note a slight... emotionally charged tone... alas...this is the ONLY place I feel I can vent... it's so hard at times... smiling and trying to keep pretending... when ...face it... life sucks...

So..forgive me it I am bitchy, testy, emo, or whatever the hell you call it... I am worried.

Worried I am going to die alone and like in a ditch...or surrounded by cats... which would be a hell of a lot better than dying surrounded by little dogs in creepy sweater vests...

So, yeah...welcome back Shana... yaa...y

On a slightly more positive note... I am going to get back into art... and photography... Hopefully, I will get out of my pity pool and out in the field soon.  

Love and skittles!

oO I like the new way of editing your journal...very handy.

It's been a very wild 2011 thus far... I went from being trapped in a miserable situation that had become so toxic I worried that I was going to become poison.

It's amazing what someone whose a good true friend, someone who is there for you no matter the day...the hour...the reason... I am so fortunate that I have such friends...

Tomorrow, I am leaving behind 9 years of lies and manipulation and I am charging head first into the fray of life.... and I am beyond scared.... but I love a thrill...and what is life worth if you never enjoy the ride?

Make sure you check out the amazing artwork of someone who first introduced me to traditional art... although his work and world is filled with naked  chicks and  dive bars... awesome!
