Don't Talk Like That...

I write to find out what my heart thinks....
I am here to celebrate my life, to uncover my fears, to hold on to love, to grieve my losses, to laugh long and hard, and to learn how to live a full magnificent life with heart failure. I am honoring my creativity, and exploring all of my emotions out loud ...before anyone can say....."Don't talk like that!"

Oh please, let the confidence follow!


I am not confident!  Not anymore, not like I used to be.  My cheering section is gone.  Not the big “rah-rah, pom-pom” cheering section, but the “go for it, what have you got to lose?” The quiet support, I believe in you cheering section. Although I have wonderful supportive friends, it is not quite the same. It is just me now at 4:30 in the morning waking up in terror as my mind violently asks what the hell do you think you are doing?  No, I am not confident, but I am trying. Tonight, at iLLminART I will have a collaborative piece (with Maureen Williams) titled “Skip’s Light” it is my first work since Skip died and will be my third attempt to be at an opening with my work.  The first attempt failed miserably when I had to abruptly leave in an emotional meltdown.  The second opportunity I just could not go, this time I need to “just do it”.  Oh please, let the confidence follow!
