A work in progress.

[Ladie Fire]

Truth be told I haven't been quite right since my Aunt Sharon (my second mama) and then my Grannie passed away. I've known since I can remember that I was a born actress/artist. I never would have made it through high school without music and singing, or college with out the art classes I took and dance. It's been almost 5 years since Grannie passed and nearly 7 since my Aunt past. That's a long time to have one's head in the fog, but over that time parts of me have come back to life.

3 years ago I bought an acoustic guitar. For the past 2 months I've been taking lessons, this week's assignment is to write a song (which I've NEVER done). Although it's difficult, it brings me much joy and gives me the feeling of accomplishment. I will be an accomplished performer someday. But right now I'm investing in me and developing myself so that I am ready when the opportunities present themselves. I've got a decent pair of jazz sneakers and tap shose on hold so I can take up dance again and "tap" back into my creative soul. Some how I get the feeling this is what will help me with my writing.

I may be all over the place, but it seems to be working and my mind feels much clearer.

any progress with that song?

"Some how I get the feeling this is what will help me with my writing."

i think all creation is connected and once you get back into one avenue of creativity, everything else seems to fall into place.

Yes!!!! I spent something like 5 hours coming up with the bridge. I think I have something nice and mellow. I'll record it and post it up when I'm finished. I think I'm going to have to down size Miranda though. *sigh* I think she's too big for me. Being busty really doesn't help my situation either. LOL She's either getting replaced or a sister. We'll see what the bank has to say.

Just lil' update.....Today, just spent about $60 on art supplies and I've recently met an artist like myself. She's a musician and we're looking to collaborate on something soon. OMG! I'm feeling the joy in my life!

Hi Ladie Fire! Just want to send you words of encouragement. I'm so proud of you for pursuing those things that bring you joy. I'm sure you will be successful in all things you put your mind and heart into. Can't wait to hear your finished product.

Thank you so much! See, it's little nudges like that, that get me all geared to finish with a big bang. =o) So far, I've painted 3 panels. I have an idea of what I'd like to do with them, but nothing solid just yet. Took a field trip to JoAnn's Fabric today and got a hold of some sweet feathers and fabric scraps. I see book wrapping in my future and I know some of those feathers are going to end up on one or all of those panels. . . .
