September, 2008

I haven’t been drawing every day as I resolved and it shows when I pick up the pencils again. It feels stiff! I need serious practice. I should be constantly drawing everyday.
But right now I’m focusing most of my energies in school, so I can finish it by February. This is the most important goal [...]

There’s way too much stuff for you to do which you don’t have enough time. You want to get everything done and you’re always busy and on the run. You get home and there’s others things or more work to do. You don’t even might feel tired but your body starts [...]

Allow yourself to fail!

No one likes feeling like a failure. But that’s only a perspective…
If no one ever tried out for their dreams, then no one would ever reach them! And I doubt many got there on their first try!
You’re afraid of being disappointed, so you choose to be disappointed ahead of time.
You’re afraid you’ll [...]

Writting Insecurity

We all got insecurities that need work. And recently, as I started to write more here on the blog, I acknowledged one more. It’s not new, it’s always been with me, but just now I fully realize it.
“Why should I write something that millions of people already wrote about?”
Why not? Millions wrote about and millions [...]

Jewelers

For a while now I had this visionary idea of a jewelery web portal. It would be a place where jewelry events were announced, articles about the craft and the crafters posted, supply shop lists, so on and where each user could showcase their work on their account’s space.

Have you ever been a in a really good mood, feeling positive and optimistic about yourself, your life and your decisions, only to be brought down by someone else? Someone whom you expected to share it with, only to have them kill it for you.
Sometimes it feels like taking a beating from someone [...]

Random Inspiration Sources

Yesterday, I refused yet another leaflet as I walked by two old ladies. I think they were jehovah passing out info on their religion, it’s usual. But that really isn’t important so, anyway, as I just refused, as I always do any handout leaflets, it hit me!
What a great way source of inspiration! Why not [...]

Small, Self-indulgent, Pleasures

This year my parents got divorced. It has been mostly rough on my mother. She is 48 and has always been a bit self-restricted and very practical! So she is what inspired me to write this post!
It’s important to take care of yourself. And not just on a basic survival way. You [...]
