Carolyn and I had another fun weekend in Mangaweka.
This photo is of little George, he is so cute, he tells the funniest knock knock jokes.

Carolyn and I stayed the night after the glass casting workshop and gave them a hand to get ready for their big weekend next weekend. It will be a cracker and I wish them the best of luck for the closing of the festival. http://www.wekaart.co.nz/

I have made a slide show of the time we have had there click here to view.

Today has been bloody beautiful! The sun was shinning bright and the sky was a gorgeous colour. We headed out to the Mole, were the river meets the ocean, Shaughan threw his fishing line into the water but there was no fish caught. Ralphie had a wonder over the dunes and is now asleep at my feet. I nearly bought him home a girlfriend from the weekend but I think I will wait until we move into a house with a bit of land.

Mum just called in and we looked at the family tree that I have been building and she is going to get all the information to fill in the blanks. She had a fun night on Friday she called around to her friends and she tried Tequila for the first time and while she was doing the dishes around midnight noise control turned up, she laughed. It's great to hear that she is having fun, that is what life is all about!

Vanessa, Mum and I went to the art students exhibitions on Friday, I was very impressed. Wanganui is pumping out some great artists. I am so tempted to go to art school next year but I won't make any decisions until next year as you never know what is going to happen.

My message for the day was: Since joy is our primary emotion, you are sure to feel immense pleasure as you consciously connect with us.

I had 4 wonderful boys come and help move some more gear upstairs for me yesterday, Man it is such a help as I was getting really worn out from going up and down bringing stuff up. I still have lots down there to do but it's getting there! Thank you guys!

Oh Happy Days! x x x x x

I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One

I had to share this article with you today, if I wrote something like this it would sound just the same... I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One by Christopher Fife. "Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly. Since I dedicated forty-plus hours a week to my corporate graphic design job, I was lucky if I painted a couple of hours a week. I came to despise myself for this self-deceit, for my inability to embrace what I really wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist. So I committed myself to becoming one. I started out like most people ...
