Wonderfully Imperfect

About This Site

i am a woman on the edge -- on the edge of greatness, of mania, and of wonder and amazement, all at the same time.

i am an artist and a corporate refugee, who has struggled and derailed and been really STUCK....and who continually dusts herself off.

here i share my artistic and personal journey, and how i became known as the "princess of getting up again" and the "imp-ress of imperfection"

it's a celebration of continually focusing on "being where i am," and never coming from a place of lack or "not good enough". it's a celebration of being "wonderfully imperfect", and you're invited!

i am now officially a super-hero!

yes, it’s true

i had shared with friends a while back my thoughts
on our struggles and experiences with our collective dichotomies

we have these views of ourselves, when life goes well
and then these doubts and larger-than-life failings, when things go to hell
or we’re overly tired and over-committed

i call that a dichotomy ‘cause to me,
a dichotomy means being conflicted or having two sides

here is a definition:

DICHOTOMY

Etymology: Greek dichotomia, from dichotomos
1 : a division or the process of dividing into two especially
mutually exclusive or contradictory groups or entities
2 : the phase of the moon or an inferior planet in
which half its disk appears illuminated
3 a : BIFURCATION; especially : repeated bifurcation (as of a plant’s stem)
b : a system of branching in which the main axis forks repeatedly into two branches
c : branching of an ancestral line into two equal, diverging branches
4 : something with seemingly contradictory qualities

i see us all struggling with what we want to be
vs where we THINK we are

MAN, I JUST LOVE THIS: “the phase of the moon or an inferior
planet in which half its disk appears illuminated"

what hit me, as i dwelled (dwelt?) on this, is that
i can’t always be confident (not often enough)
and feel capable and smart and sexy

but my alter ego can.....
SO, I MUST NEED TO CREATE ONE!

sort of like nancy, the superhero
who is WITTY when i am feeling powerless
who is BOLD when i am exhausted and weepy
who is one sexy kick-ass woman
(BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER AND FAITH, LOOK OUT!!)
when i am feeling old and frumpy and my clothes don’t fit
who holds court with the best of em

and no, my super hero doesn’t scale walls with an AK47

she TWIRLS
TWIRLS..........
what joy you hear in that word!!!

my favorite thought around self growth
is the idea of wanting to live in amazement

and this somehow seems to fit with that,
TWIRLING THROUGH MY LIFE
BEING AMAZED
RENEWING WTH EACH TWIRL
AND GIVING BIRTH TO JOY

(now....off to work on the outfit!!)
