I’m the kind of creature of habit who basically could listen to the same CD in the car for months – not just the CD, but a particular song, lol. I am all about repetition. All about routine. (I can sing Billy Joel’s Vienna over and over again and not get bored with it!)
I just feel comfort in that stuff. I have this idea that I will sing on stage someday. One of my “bucket list” dreams is to do the national anthem at a sports event. I know I can do it. Someday, I am sure I will.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about all the things I wanted for myself when I was a kid. Even the far-fetched stuff. A lot of great things have been happening to me lately, a lot of dreams coming true. It’s kind of very cool.
I met some people at the Syracuse International Film Festival a couple weeks ago. There was discussion of an art movie that may be filmed here. I may achieve the goal of being an actress! Well, an extra, but still!
I also talked to two people about acquiring art exhibitions for my huge inventory of artwork. I am sure at least one of those will come to fruition. Am quite certain I will find the right fit for my work and ultimately sell, sell, sell!
And because these things are happening, I think it is making me a better teacher. I feel absolutely fearless. Like everything that happens will be the absolute best possible outcome for me.
It helps me teach kids that they can achieve anything their hearts’ desire. It’s not just positive thinking. It’s the kind of blind faith that allows one to take that leap. It’s truly an awesome feeling.
Dressing up for work is super fun. As you can see, I am a creature of habit with fashion. I just love Trina Turk and BCBG Max Azria. They both like my Instagram posts, and that is such a huge thrill. I am sooo grateful for all the compliments on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!!!!
Life has truly never been more fun!
***Special thanks to my photographer and art teaching colleague, Gina Fargnoli, who makes me feel so relaxed and happy when she takes my picture every morning for my #ootd! You are the BEST, my friend!
I just came across your blog. I love fashion! I had to laugh because I instantly recognized Carmine! He and my friend have been seeing each other! Where do you shop for BCBG? Online, in a store, or outlet?
Hi Kelly – I shop BCBG.com and Lord & Taylor for BCBG. I met Carmine at the opening of the Syracuse International Film Festival at the cocktail party. My friend Jennifer is the president of the organization and I was there with two friends. (They are cropped out of the picture, lol – Carmine’s handsome face seems to be bringing a lot of traffic to my blog).
Love your choice of colors and clothes! When did you know you were so talented in art? By the way, we have moved our new blog is at http://www.segmation.com/blog!
Thank you! I started drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil. But as far as knowing I was talented – that’s sort of a funny question to me. Because I am finally in a place that I know I have talent, but up until only a little while ago, I was not secure in that knowledge. It was all about learning all the time. Being a student of art and working towards the moment when a body of work exists, lol. It’s all about the journey. Thanks for the new link. Your blog will be much easier to find!
