Epiphanies
The idea here (this is not yet an epiphany but then again it might be a longer one) is that for now I have decided not to pursue a career at Hallmark or another gift card company or even a poster company. This might change as the job offers have been flooding the palace. But for now I’ve decided to share with y’all the thoughts that seem as affirmations or revelations—things that I’ve come upon that seem worth using and sharing.
Sensitivity is among our most valuable human resources; it must be protected or else it can drown in shame and/or in chaos. January 2008
Just because something is hard doesn’t mean you don’t have to do it. January 19, 2008

Anyone who thinks that there is only one right answer for a problem is crazy. My hairdresser, Jen, February 9, 2008
Creativity can sneak up on you; it doesn’t always mean you’ll produce something. It is less about what you make and more about experiencing things as they come. February 2008
When someone says “Don’t be so sensitive; you shouldn’t take that so seriously”, it is usually about that person talking about something he/she doesn’t happen to take personally. Pick tons of issues, the same person will be shivering with rage or tears. February 2008
