Blah

I know, I know, I've been gone awhile.  A long while.  
So here's my thinking/reasoning as to why.  

I'm not generally one that is prone to depression, but I kinda think that's a bit of what has been happening lately.

You see, the joy & excitement of having my father move in state, was replaced by sadness in the fact that my mother-in-law is moving out of state.  It is something that none of us ever expected, as the whole reason she moved here was because we were never (planning) on leaving the state.

Unfortunately, due to things & you know, life, she has decided to move to Texas.  She'll be totally fine, as she'll be living with & helping out my brother & sister-in-law & their girls.  It really is a good thing; an exciting new chapter for everyone.  

It just kinda caught me by surprise, even though I kinda sorta had a feeling before it became official.  And it has thrown me into this darkish apathy filled funk.  I recognize that I am stuck in said funk, yet don't really know how/care to try to climb my way out.  I don't like it.

I have created a few new pieces, which I will hopefully be adding to the website soon.   Honestly though, I really feel like I've lost my creative juices & can't bring myself to go to the store & get more.  Figuratively speaking of course.

I've never been good at self motivation & am currently en robed in a defeatist attitude towards my art & making this a via source of income/inspiration.  Self-doubt has taken over & the little people (in my brain) that usually fight it off have either gone on strike or taken an extended vacation.

Anyway, I'm still here.  Still trying to figure out exactly how to get myself into a regular, steadfast, honest to goodness routine of being present both here & on facebook.

Please be patient with me & know that I fully intend to get back to as close to the other me as possible.  After all, my poultry have decided to go back to playing football & the Squab has many various projects in the works as well.


So until later my lovelies, blow bubbles.


Aloha hugs,
~Clare

Thank you so much for this sensitive and honest blog. I hope you will write some more. So often, it's impossible for an artist to separate the rest of their life from their work... thanks for being brave and I hope your Muse returns to you as soon as possible. X

Life does seem to challenge the best of us. Lean on your family and faith to help you move away from the darkness and back to a better light. I found it helpful to read short motivational quotes to focus on eachday and it
Sounds silly but to say thank you for something each day that is going ok. I started with the simple thank you for getting me out of bed to motivating me to reach out to others to being healthy enough to go on a stroll or to the gym. It gets easier to think of all the blessing we each have even when we feel that we don't. Believe in positive outlooks and fill your self with good thoughts and people who will enlighten you instead of pulling you down. Hope this helps. You are amazing and have always been such a great support for all the people who have had the fortune to be in your life. I love you and if you would like a few motivational links or books I can pass that on.
