Now, I am an unusually cheerful person, and it shows in my blog entries. And that is me, 99% of the time, and I've been that way for my whole life. But that is not everyone! You need to write what YOU feel, Jill, good, bad or indifferent! I'm a huge fan of your blog because it shows who YOU are. Rock on, sister! :D My blog is hardly ever about my art.

Your blog has never been just about art. It's been about you, and what your art does for you and, consequently, how all your blog-readers can use art in their own personal lives. I lived for 32 years in a family that kept everything to themselves and was almost crushed under the weight of all the elephants in the room. There's joy in everything, even the bad stuff we all have to face from time to time. It helps us all to be able to explore those paths with you. To expound a bit on my Facebook comment…keep it real.

We are 20% of the population and the books are validating and enlightening. We care and feel all emotions deeply. I would rather read real life.

There are many silly sweet blogs that do not talk about life's balance and they are not worth reading. Reading about your friend, Nancy, helps me remember to enjoy everything right now. I"ll keep her laughing image in mind and hope she has many happy days again soon. I have a very good friend who had a brain tumor which luckily was caught early. She was left deaf in one ear but remains very grqateful to be here with us. I am grateful we continue to share our art adventures!!

And I can't imagine your art or your teaching skills separate from your humanity, Jill. Wasn't it Carole King that said, "You've got to take the bitter with the sweet" ? Guess we're cut from similar cloth - life is about laughter and tears, sometimes at the same time. You should write what you want to write about because a blog is personal.
