MS, love, and my life

                                shrines 12"x3'                                       self-portrait 14"x20"                    It's been a while since I've decided to write. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's been months. Days seem to fly by so unannounced these days...this weightlessness and tumbling and turning...I find myself surprised when another month appears.                 I started making shrines a few months back. It wasn't a conscious decision, I just found some free wood on an alley walk one morning...and it started like that. I've had art supplies at my side my entire life (priorities!), so I had no shortage on materials once the 'canvas' presented itself.             ...

Henry last year ~ homeschooling day at the art museum To say I'm looking forward to school starting up again, is a major understatement. There, I said it. I love my little man. I feel physically sick a little every time he is picked up by his dad for the weekend. But by the end of the summer, I'm at the end of my wits. I'm guessing he feels the exact same way about me. It's not personal, we've just been together constantly for the past three months. Henry is not an outdoorsy kind of kid. He has never liked camps. I don't blame him. They can feel very uncomfortable when you're an introvert . The expectations are great. You are on someone else's schedule. You run from activity to activity with a group of others. It's a bit surreal. Not to mention the looks he still gets. Kids are curious. They haven't been conditioned (completely) not to stare yet. Oh, and there's no internet. That's huge. His iPad continues to be his life...
