So I had a weird dream. I was working for a publisher and I had to meet a best selling author. Her last book was deep and dark, and she was putting out a new book.

New Projects In The Works
I will be doing a series of moodscapes out of tulle on ink covered mixed media paper. I want a 3D moodscape to express my highs and lows of Bipolar, as well as the mountains and valleys of being a creative. I may submit them to a show or sell them. This year I will … Continue reading New Projects In The Works
Christian Creativity

Yet while the most Christians are good with ideas like charity and self sacrifice, few embrace the idea of creativity. Being like God when it is drudgery is … Continue reading Christian Creativity

I miss homeschooling and having her with me all day, but this is a lot less stress. Yesterday … Continue reading Long Days Alone

Stay at Home University
It's my cute little name for the learning I'm pursuing outside of academia. I always thought I would go to grad school, but life had other plans, and I got married and had a baby. I got married to a wonderful man and had a wonderful little baby and I've never looked back since. Now … Continue reading Stay at Home University
