my amazing, dragon-slaying friend took me on a helicopter ride. it was magical. it was breathtaking. i felt free. i was like a bird, in the air, without a care in the world.
then, back to my "real life" ~ where i find myself in a struggle, in a constant swim against the current. i find myself with a fire-breathing dragon always at my back. then~ just at this very moment~ i realized something!!! what IF i do, what i tell my kids to do~ what i do in my dreams, when i am having a nightmare~ and there is a MONSTER or, DRAGON ~ or whatever ~ what IF, i decide to stop RUNNING~ to turn around and FACE the dragon??? what if i LAUGH in his FACE? what if i tell him to PISS OFF? what if i TELL HIM that i know he's not real, that i know he's just a big, fat scaredly cat? a bully? acting out & trying to scare me because he is scared?
what would happen? well, seriously, it probably won't make him stop acting that way ~
but, guess what it does to me?
it gives me my power back!
i don't have to run anymore.
i don't have to be scared anymore.
i can just go on ~ with the current,
going with the flow,
and knowing that that fire-breathing dragon is just a frightened and angry little lizard who has alot of fire,
but knowing, that he has no real power,
~ he can't scare me anymore.
and, i'm not waiting for a dragon-slayer, because, he's busy building his castle. so, you know what? i put on my glass slippers, and my white, backless dress, kicked that dragon in the ass, and i'm off to the ball!
and so, going with the FLOW ~ looking for a job... starbucks?
sushi restaurant?
no.
i found the PERFECT job for me!!!
full time artist!
did you know, that Cinderella has the ability to write her own ending to the story?
it's true.
she does.
i do.

here's a painting i just finished:
"mr. sexy salmon pants"
2'x4' acrylic & charcoal on canvas
handsome, isn't he!

here's a quote for us~
for you & me~
to help us to remember to write our own stories,
and not just get cought up in someone else's
and COAST along on autopilot!
"never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do!"

LOVE.
hugs.
& KISSES.

~Lovein~ your stuFF sista *kissez*
Very nice sister! I love the song you put with it too. I am excited for what we are about to embark on together.
That is a beautiful salmon-man. I wonder if you still have the precious pottery salmon you made all those years ago and swam happily up and down your walls? You are a wonderful artist.
thanks girlfriends! i AM Cinderella~ except, SEXIER! ha ha ha! moving on, going forward, not looking back! see those stars in the sky tonight? that's what i'm shooting for!
Dana~ only 1 pottery salmon has survived all of our moves~ but, he's still lovely~ just, lonely :)
that linoleum block print i made in Alaska was actually the inspiration for this painting~!
LOVE.love.LOVE.
e.
p.s. thanks for floating in the current with me tonight, under the ~stars~! that was nice ~ and relaxing :)
Flying in helicopters has been one of my greatest joys in life; it's better with the doors off... congratulations on your first flight, hopefully not the last!
so jealous that you got to fly in a helicopter. how fun!!
