Life Happens

Photo by Narbeh Iranosian

They say that girls marry their brothers, guys marry their sisters, and, in case you're a girl without a brother... I'm afraid you've married your dad...

Ok... that didn't sound as weird in my head as it did when I actually typed it out... But, the reason I say this is because I was home last night and I watched as my husband lay down on the ground, on his back, crossed his feet, and put his arms under his head as he watched t.v... I sat there and watched him and I went back 20 years and pictured my dad in the same exact position on our old carpeting, in our old apartment. Then, I thought about how life works out and how life happens...

Maybe it is a series of planned events... Maybe it is all planned out for us... or maybe it's all just a coincidence?

At this point, I'm not exactly sure what it is... but, I do know that whatever coincidences are happening in my life, they are specific coincidences and maybe, just maybe, one day, I'll figure it all out and have all the answers. But, for now, for me, life happens...

What inspires you?

I was talking to a friend about inspiration the other day. He asked me, "So, what inspires you?" To my surprise, I froze... I had no idea... I went blank... I never thought I'd freeze when asked that. I mean, for someone who writes for the public, puts art shows together, and is an artist, herself, I thought I'd know the answer to that automatically... but, I didn't..

And, I've been thinking about that ever since...

Then, after a few days of trying to come up with what has given me inspiration all these years, I figured it out...

I find inspiration in all kinds of places... in other artists, movies, songs, words, people, etc. but, that wasn't it... my inspiration comes from love in my life...

It's not the love of a husband, mother, or friend... but, all the types of love in my life that come together and form the inspiration I have stored inside. Each person has certain feelings for certain things in life and that feeling of "my favorite..." and "I love..." is what keeps me fulfilled. The feeling I get when I watch my husband sleep... the feeling I get when I'm about to eat condensed milk out of the can... the feeling I get when I think about certain memories... the feeling I get when I miss something so much... the feeling I get when my sister calls me right when I'm dialing her number... the feeling I get when I watch my favorite part of a movie... the feeling I get when I hear a song that makes me cry... the feeling I get when I'm having a good dream and I go back to sleep on purpose... the feeling I get when I actually feel beautiful... the feeling I get when I see my parents fooling around like little kids... and the feeling I get when I can actually feel the inspiration... I love all of those things and all of those things are the loves of my life and they fill me with more inspiration than I can handle at times. I can't believe that I have more than half of my life to live and so much more inspiration to feel and fill my heart with... I can't believe it's possible to feel so much sometimes... So much inspires me...

What inspires you?

Cross Your Fingers

Here is a sneak peak at our opening tonight...

I have to say that the more I do this, the better I get at it. I am done early today and I sit here waiting for Fed Ex, who is supposed to bring me my pedestals for the sculptures. The shipment is supposed to be here by three o'clock. The lady over the phone said that they should be here by three, or earlier, unless there is some kind of a natural disaster that might keep Fed Ex from being here on time. So... since Gap closing and Taylor Lautner are trending on Yahoo news right now, I doubt there has been any kind of a natural disaster from here to the state of Colorado. Well, that is the only thing holding me back from opening the doors early for the opening... so cross your fingers and hope for a Fed Ex truck in the next hour...
