What do you do?
What a loaded question that can be. Depending on the day and mind set: I’m a painter, a seamstress, a quilter, a poet, a writer, a home maker, a career driven woman, a wife, a cat lady extraordinaire, tea addict, and on and on. My focus is divided some days, but all these things can be true in a delicate overlapping fashion. The truth is, I don’t mind splitting my focus on these different aspects, rather than focusing solely on one. I have a tiny amount of time on this blue and green marble. It would sadden me and drive me mad to limit myself to not try, experiment, and grow in these directions. But didn’t you go to college? For architecture? No, plants.. stuff? Landscape Architecture actually, but yes. College, and my time there, was great and terrible all rolled into one life changing experience. Do I still want to follow that path? Yes, in the manner of environmental and conservation work. And when I can’t be doing exactly that, I have my other loves that I focus on.
