Saturday ... Day2

So it is day 2 of the commitment to "post a blog every day". I have wasted most of the day on FB so I guess that is kind of like a blog.

I was up until 3am speaking to my lovely son about his plans for the future and helping him sort out some finance. He has decided (this week) to move back to the east coast (NYC) and finish his college using the GI bill. He is attending a local community college and we were sorting out the courses that would be transferrable and also a good series for his major (Business studies or Engineering) He really doesn't know what to do with his life... I hope it all falls into place because so far he has had a lot of obstacles. I believe that when something is meant to be, it all falls into place and so conversely, if it isn't falling into place... However, if you don't try then you will never have the opportunity to find out.

According to GOETHE:

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth...

the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."

With that said, I need to get started on my wool slippers. I am making some children's slippers out of felt and also a kit for my sister to learn how to do the same. She want's to learn felting and I think she could actually sell some of these at local craft fairs to earn some much needed extra money. If I can figure out how, I will post some pics on the blog when they are finished.

Well, that's my post of the day. I have yoga at 5 and need to do so much...

About Me

My photo
I am an American married to a Brit and living in London. I have a 28 year old son who is living in Southern California and trying to decide what to do with his life. He's lovely! I have a 13 1/2 year old poodle with a degenerative muscle thing and I am constantly worried about when and how it will all end for her... I also have 2 mini daschunds (mum and daughter) and thats nice! Oh, and then there's the cat...I teach at a local art college and I have a studio where I paint. I also do sculpture and various other art things. I love to try new things and lately, I am into felting. I love living in South London (Wandsworth) and I have never been happier. There are so many green spaces and I love to go walking with dogs and friends. I am lucky because I can do exactly what I want in my art without having to worry about being commercial, however, it's nice to be recognized for what you are trying to do. Well, that's enough about me for now...
