Broke Down Artist: March 2011
http://brokedownartist.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Okay, I finally did it- I opened an Etsy shop. For my prints. Part of my motivation came from a good friend who has been encouraging me to open up shop for a while now, and the other part came from the fact that my booth fee at this year's Earth Day festival. Is a bit steep. I'm so excited and definitely looking forward to what the coming months have to bring in terms of my artwork. I also got accepted into that juried show. Now on my way to swim with my momma'! Wednesday, Marc...

Broke Down Artist: October 2011
http://brokedownartist.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 1, 2011. The Courage to Move On. But for some reason, after confronting all of my excuses. And making goals and a plan. That I felt comfortable with. I gave up. It was the Earth Day festival that ended up taking it all out of me. I sold one print. ONE. I didn't even come close. To breaking even with all of the money I spent on the booth fee, the mounting and packaging of prints, the huge. Into debt. In more. Physical pain. Leaning on family too. I'm only professing this here because I t...

Broke Down Artist: I Can Cry If I Want To
http://brokedownartist.blogspot.com/2011/09/i-can-cry-if-i-want-to.html
Saturday, September 17, 2011. I Can Cry If I Want To. I fainted today. I haven't fainted in four years. Back then, Ben. Was there- literally- and caught me before I hit the floor. But I came to with him and a scared nine-year-old son screaming "Emily! I've been alone now for two years. There have been a couple of men I've dated, but none that I've let get too close (and none that have wanted. My elbows were stinging and I felt a dull ache in the back of my head. I assume those broke my fall. Afte...And s...

Broke Down Artist: September 2011
http://brokedownartist.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 20, 2011. I always seem to come back to this blog when I've been away for a while, to just. vent. I remember last year around this time, I wrote a " letter to my sisters. But I also don't want you all to think that I am depressed all of the time. Because I'm not. For a long time I thought that the way to deal with feelings was to try to ignore the difficult ones and revel in the fun ones. In this past year, I have started learning (and practicing) how to feel. So I printed out the exam...

Broke Down Artist: Upside Down Rainbow
http://brokedownartist.blogspot.com/2011/05/upside-down-rainbow.html
Friday, May 6, 2011. I'm feeling much better today, though it goes without saying, I miss my son terribly. My little sis and I went to the park today and looked up to see this unusual rainbow. This, combined with the gorgeous weather was an instant cheer up. These two ducks just swam right towards us, "flew" up, and walked up to our feet. I'm sure they were looking for breadcrumbs or something, but they were so cute! Thank goodness for nice weather and a sister that stands by you no matter what!

Broke Down Artist: Healing and Trying
http://brokedownartist.blogspot.com/2010/12/healing-and-trying.html
Sunday, December 19, 2010. Prompt: Healing. What healed you this year? Was it sudden, or a drip-by-drip evolution? How would you like to be healed in 2011? Prompt Author: Leoni Allan. 2011 Creating Your Goddess Year. And "That must have been really hard! Another part of my emotional healing would be re-committing to life, in general. I had all but given up on any sort of "normal" life. Well, what's normal, anyway? Music, writing, art, and movement heal me. I wish to continue these forms of emotional ...

Broke Down Artist: May 2011
http://brokedownartist.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. Last Friday (in the midst of the great Blogger breakdown), I snuck in another walk before it started feeling like February again. It’s been in the 50’s all weekend, but I guess that’s good as I’m working on a project for my sister-in-law that must get done by week’s end. No temptation to get out of the house over the past couple of days! So here are some pics from a walk I took before the air turned chilly:. Hope everyone had a great weekend! Links to this post.

Friday, February 25, 2011. Links to this post. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Image originally uploaded by. I take a deep breath. All the way down to the deepest part of my lungs. And I dive under, moving my body in a perfect wave. For a moment, I am still. I feel alone, yet surrounded by so much peace. There is no pain. For a moment, all is well. It's quiet. And simple. And beautiful. Links to this post. Sunday, February 20, 2011. Test print on newsprint paper. Thinkin' about doing a phrenology head next.
