Susans Art and Words. Sculpting a Life with passion, joy and creativity. Thursday, February 26, 2009. Creating a life of integrity and meaning without gods. Or how to be a meaning maker instead of a meaning seeker. The Atheist’s Way by Eric Maisel. My question then, is, where do I go from here? Eric Maisel would suggest atheism. I’m not sure I want any ‘ism’, if you don’t mind. But one idea in his book that I do embrace is meaning. Specifically, meaning making. What does that mean on a day to day basis?

Jilly ran away from home today and I didn’t even know she was gone. How did that happen? Well, earlier today we had new internet and phone service installed in our home. The installer left the gate open on the side of the house and I didn’t notice until after I let Jilly out in the backyard. No response. ...

Susans Art and Words. Sculpting a Life with passion, joy and creativity. Wednesday, March 10, 2010. Today, I started a new blog. Why? Well, when I started this blog almost 5 years ago, the blogs were very different. So, was I. When I started here, the blog choices were very limited. I had only a few templates to choose from, limited picture space and loading. I wasn't able to get a blog address that matched the blog name. And as my blog grew, I really outgrew the name. Links to this post. Although I had ...

Susans Art and Words. Sculpting a Life with passion, joy and creativity. Thursday, May 28, 2009. Creating is a magical process. It’s even more magical when I get to share the process. Last Saturday, on a sunny afternoon, I taught a class through Portland Community College called, ‘Muse Wands’. After introductions all around, I set out the supplies and did a short demonstration of how to do copper repoussé. Then the students dove into designing and creating their own personal ‘Muse Wands’. I’ve help...

Susans Art and Words. Sculpting a Life with passion, joy and creativity. Monday, July 27, 2009. Heaven on a hot day:. I love blueberry season. Not just because blueberries are luscious, of course, but because I love to bake. Yes, it's my little secret. Not very feminist of me, I know, but domestic as it is, baking is one of my joys in life. Perhaps, it's time to come out of the closet, so to speak. So I'm glad that the other day, I had the idea to bake this cobbler and today I get to enjoy it! I entered ...

All the leaves with words and without words are soldered and wired on. The beads are on, although, I may be tempted to add a few more. There's still some patina work to do and a few places to polish up. And I have a few branches to 'prune'. Then it will be ready for delivery.

Susans Art and Words. Sculpting a Life with passion, joy and creativity. Saturday, April 25, 2009. If you had all the money you needed and wanted and your health needs met, what would you do differently in your life? How do I want to live from now until then?
