Well, I finally did it. I finished my portrait. I've been off and on working on this thing for months... mostly off... it didn't take me that long, a few hours, I just kept avoiding the hair, lol.

Anyway, once he find out I've posted this it may not stay up for very long, lol... so happy viewing while you can!

I'M DONE YAY!!!

Hey all... or the.... none of you who actually bother to visit my page anymore.

I had pretty much disappeared from DA for a looong time. I still come around and check peoples art, but I just had no inspiration to write.

Well, I just posted a poem... it's a bit dark... and a bit weird... or maybe I just think it's dark and weird.

Anyway, it actually doesn't reflect my life right now at all. I'm pretty happy all things considered. I'm sure on some subconcious level it has something to do with something, but it's basically just a poem. I have absolutely zero control over my poetry. It comes, I write. Often I don't even understand why I wrote it until a long time later.

I actually have a picture in the works, but I'm not sure if I'll end up posting it... I probably will... but the person whose portrait it is might kill me. He doesn't like being put on display.

Anyway, I am still alive if there is anyone out there who still cares. I'd love to hear how my old DA friends are doing.

Blessings,

Sarah

I just realized that I have 4,001 pageviews....

It only took me.... almost three years. February 18, 2004 was day one here for me.

..... not much to say... just thought it was noteworthy that 4,001 people have wandered onto my frontpage at some point in the past two and a bit years. That's a lot of people. Perhaps not for those of you with hundreds of thousands of pageviews... for for a lowly little poet like me. It makes me smile.

Thanks.

For those of you who may have read the journal I posted earlier today... or yesterday now, I suppose, as it is 1:30am... I deleted it.

I forced myself to listen to the rest of the tape, and by the end I was once again at peace. There were tears as I listened to songs that had once held so much meaning, and are now just bittersweet memories, but I couldn't help feel a bit of a prophetic calm as I listened to songs about seeing the silver lining and the forest for the trees and above all, loving God.

I'm still a little sad. That's a given. But that will pass.

(No... nobody is dead for those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about... just learning to accept life the way it is with a certain past relationship.)

I think I've just been a little over-vulnerable this week. I was sick monday through wednesday, work is pretty busy, and I've been doing nothing but edit wedding videos in my spare time............... but I'm better now. I had a good little cry, and now life can get back to the wonderful, blessed life that it is.

Thanks again for listening.

Hi Everyone!

It seems that my muse decided to come back from vacation! I don't know how long he's sticking around for, but I welcome the return.

I was driving home from a wedding I had filmed today, when this poem knocked on my brain. By the time I was home I had it mostly written in my mind. You can check it out here: [link]

YAY!

Hope you are all well.

Sarah.
