August 24, 2014. Open a Vein and Bleed. Well, I am all packed and ready to go which means two things: I woke up too early and I could have had more champagne last night. I just thought it would have taken so much more time, this packaging up a week of life to go somewhere, elsewhere. It can be difficult to know what to pack when you don't really know what to expect.

chalk: Givin' Away Some Art
http://alysontherrien.blogspot.com/2015/02/givin-away-some-art.html
February 15, 2015. Givin' Away Some Art. The Massachusetts Cultural Council gives away grants to artists and writers every year. When I moved back to Mass in 2011, I found out about their grant program and immediately wanted to enter some of my work. They only give grants every other year in the category of Photography and I missed the deadline two years ago. I've often ruminated on the question: What does it mean to be an artist? Do we all look for a little recognition in what we do? People Who Love Me.

April 9, 2013. A Eulogy for Nonna. A lot of people will give you advice about writing someone's eulogy: Don't speak too fast. Remember to speak loud enough. Don't worry if you get emotional. Keep it to 2-3 minutes. Just speak from the heart. What I found out from the process is that you never know where to begin or where to end or what's in the middle because summing up someone's life in front of grieving loved ones in a span of just a few minutes is not very easy. But it makes total sense to me now.

July 25, 2013. She is so sweet and young that putting on her "big sister's" makeup is a splendid experience. Admittedly, even being in my (hehem). Having the occasional opportunity to reach into my best girlfriend's cosmetic bag to use something new-to-me can be a small excitement. It's interesting that, even though there's a margin of 30 years between us, my little sister and I are not that different: We're still both girls. Just before we left the room, I turned to her with my camera and thought,.

November 21, 2011. Transition, trying not to cut the tethers of a former home, maintain them from a distance, while beginning anew in a changed place that I remember loving so much. I have a lot to be thankful for. Amounts of wine), and many laughs. Washington can be a cold and transient place but even if for just one day, we were family. It remains one of my most treasured memories of living there. What's the saying about life giving you lemons.add vodka? No wait, wrong adage. It'll come to me.

http://alysontherrien.blogspot.com/2013/08/holes-in-your-bucket.html
August 12, 2013. Holes in Your Bucket. The first time I called David's office and inquired about his services, the receptionist told me, "He sometimes uses tuning forks, crystals, bells, and other methodologies." I was skeptical, at best. Having my chakras aligned was something I was only doing at the urging of both my mother and a two-dollar-per-minute palm reader, named Soraya. She looked at my palm for ten seconds and said emphatically,. Your chakras aligned - you've had a tough two years. It brought ...
