I’m all things: passionate, reflective, artistic, poetic, scientific, loyal, and caring—a realist, stoic most of the time, a hermit sometimes. Now, I prefer to keep my life quiet without much drama. My friends are pillars of support, which I choose carefully. Therefore, you can say I’m not a pigeon in a hole.
I enjoyed “La Vida Loca” a bit in my youth.
You can’t say I’m stuck in my ways. First, I Enjoyed a bit of La Vida Loca in my youth: punk rocker, slam dancer, disco dancer, gay, straight, drinking, and smoking cigars, but settled and calm now. Second, I could cuss like a sailor or be sweet as apple pie. Third, I love all kinds of music and people. But Fourth, I don’t like unkind people. And that never changes, but it doesn’t mean I don’t love them either. Finally, I am quick to anger and quick to forgive and forget.
My idea of a productive life
Being a stuck pigeon in a hole differs from my idea of a productive life. I would never have grown had I not re-invented myself so many times. I’ve made many mistakes and repeated them sometimes, okay, lots of times, but I eventually learned not to fall into the same traps. This is growth.
I’ve been my own best therapist, using my art to heal and express my deepest emotions: printmaking, acrylic painting, Journaling, poetry, and now blogging and baking bread. The bread of life!
I have a handmade book of prints called “Inside Myself” in the Main Library of Fort Lauderdale. This was my second project on the road to healing my pain. My first project was a series of large acrylic paintings of inner child work. Blogging is my third project, reflecting on things that matter to me now.
