Inauguration

October 12, 2010: In short, I'm starting this blog over.

Sometimes you have to let go of everything before you can see a new horizon line.  I deleted my blog to give birth to something new. It's a symbol of letting go. So many little novas or tiny explosions have happened since I began this blog over 5 years and 117 entries ago:

• I entered 30-hood.
• I left my career as a designer to pursue my dream of living as an artist full-time.
• I went through a bitter divorce after my husband of 14 years split.
• My best friend moved to Nigeria to become a missionary.
• My Dad died.
• My Mom was diagnosed with cancer.
• I lost some friends.
• I met some new friends.
• I gained some weight.
• I lost some weight.
• I started graduate school at MICA for lens-based media.
• I got my first gray hair.
• My spunky sister changed careers 7 times as a ticket agent, vegan cupcake baker, cocktail waitress, front desk associate, advertising intern, sandwich artist and sushi server.
• I left the East Coast. I'm currently floating in California until I find something permanent.
• I met this amazing guy. I think I might be in love.
• Oh...and I adopted a fish named Electra. She's beautiful and strong and wild.

I am a photographer...no, image-maker. I care about art. I care about food. I care about caring. And I like to write about it. It seemed only fitting to start fresh and like St. Iggy said, "Set the world on fire."
