Me at EditUndo

It’s a funky thing to have to write about ones self (smelly socks funky not pop art funky). A little uncomfortable even (I have avoided it for months now). But since I know I’m not telling many of you anything you don’t know, it’s not so bad. Much of the day-to-day is devoted to the mundane and ordinary. Trying to incorporate the extraordinary is the challenge. Setting aside time for creativity and introspection is important (hence creating a blog…I’ve never been good at journaling). That reflection allows me the time to think on how I’ve come to ‘this place’ and where I’d like to go next (mentally, physically etc.).

With all the traveling we’ve done this past year it’s easy to see how much exploring is still left to do. The places we’ve visited have been beautiful and the people, endearing. My perspective has truly expanded. But the travel bug has bit (and bit hard) and I want more. Good thing too, because I’ve partnered a pilot.

Some of my work is featured on this website. Artistic expression has always been important to me. I recall days spent sitting by a sunny window with hundreds of sheets of used white paper brought home from dad’s work, filling them with drawings and poetry. I moved from pencil to chalk, then pastel to conte. From water paint to acrylic then oil. And now I’m stuck on oil. Painting fits me well. So long as I’m moved correctly. And so long as my husband keeps coming up with inspiring titles for each piece.

Before I close, I should mention why this site is titled so. Hindsight is 20/20. That said, it would be nice to have an edit/undo function for real life. Divulging too much information in conversation, awkward moment, edit/undo. Add wet ingredients to dry before pre-mixing both, moment of panic, edit/undo. Hair appointment the day of a special event, results go horribly wrong, edit/undo.

Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for more of the same.
