That Long, Seriously?

Hello Friends!
So today I had a lovely email sent to me from the folks at gmail. Basically saying, "hey there? remember us..." Apparently it has been about 7 months since my last post. Who knew! I have seriously been busy ...

In a nut shell, shooting events and creating art, So far this year I have had 3 shows, the third opens Friday. Each time my work has been displayed for 1-4 months. The push at the end is always a little stressful, but the feedback and individual impressions about something you created... Priceless. I am also a resident artist with a group called REDLine. The best way to summarize, it is an art incubator. I have my own studio space, darkroom, and multiple colleagues to learn from and with. The show Friday culimnates my 6month growth period. And I will be showing color!! I still can't beleive it. If you like to learn more, just click on the red link above!

I have also been working in Florida. Trust me when I say I LOVE IT! I am working as an education consultant and go for about a week each month. It is a special treat, making new friends, exploring a new city and creating your own schedule. What I truly love about education consulting is this... You don't have to be the one there day in and day out. 'nuff said! I will be heading back next week. *Side Thought* It was great to be there during the first WI snow storm, but not sure what to think being in FL at the highest (and hottest) point of summer.

Finally, what of my dear sweet Italia? Cara Mia... It is still on my mind. Funny I just say a commercial for the new movie, Eat, Pray, Love, after the book...  I received this book as a gift and made it half way through, perhaps it's time to pick it back up and finish. Several folks thought I was having the same exploration when I first left for Florence. In some ways I feel I'm in the middle of my journey too. Hummm?
