I worry about the background (which will change from time to time)...I worry about the content (which always seems awkward to me but "practice makes perfect"). Never, do I ever, worry about the frequency with which I submit a blog post; with the newest blog I make, I always promise that "I'm going to try to post as much as I possibly can." And then it falls by the wayside, and I end up starting from scratch...it's a vicious cycle.
But now...I have an incredibly supportive husband who would rather have me stay at home, doing what I love, what I feel I was meant to do on this planet--my artwork. And I feel that there are going to be moments in my life that I'm going to want to share with friends, loved ones...future readers of my blog...
It's almost the new year. A year ago, I said to myself that 2011 would be a very good year, and it has, for myself and many who are close to me. After a 2.5 year misunderstanding, one of my very best friends and I began talking again. We realized what had really happened, and who was really to blame. In June, I reconnected with a friend from middle and high school through Facebook. Two months later, I married him :) and moved out to Texas. Three months later (and two days before Thanksgiving), we moved back to South Carolina because we missed family and friends. And now, someone very close to me is finally receiving all the happiness that she has needed and deserved for so long...maybe someday I can go a little deeper than that, but for now, that's my little secret :)
My last blog was strictly about my artwork...which I think was part of my problem. Deep down I want to be able to share all kinds of things that happen in my life, including my artwork, my husband and family, my friends, my opinions, et cetera.
Why did I name it MultiFaceted? Because that's what I am. I like different and sometimes contrasting things. As an example, I'll use music. Two of my favorite bands are the Monkees, and Skillet. The Monkees are a pre-fabricated yet real pop-rock band of the 60's, put together for a TV show. Skillet is a hard-Christian-rock band. Very different. I like (some) country music too (not too much of the latest stuff, but more early Toby Keith, Sammy Kershaw, Collin Raye, just because that's what I listened to back in the mid-90's). I like jazz. I like Miles Davis the best, but I only recently got into it and haven't really explored other artists much.
Sometimes I want a blue sky and sunshine, sometimes I want the wind and rain. Some days I'm Dorothy, and some days I'm the Wicked Witch (although not TOO wicked!).
I wish I could explain it better, and maybe someday I will. Maybe you'll understand just by reading my blog. I hope you will. I'm all over the place.
