People have been asking me: Are you tired?? You are really looking tired. Answer: Yes, I am really really tired.

i get very freaked out and scared by my birthday. not that i am getting older, that’s not my fear. it’s more about some perception that i have that nobody will care, or everybody will forget, or that no one will notice. every year i get afraid like this. but every year i am surprised again by all the people who do remember, who call me, who wish me well. although my birthday is not until tomorrow i have already received two vases full of flowers from different friends! but still, here i am, late at night, with my same old fear. makes no sense i guess…

from her entries it seems she is really moving forward with her life which is inspirational. she is the first person whose entries i have read all of.

also i love her photos. her son reminds me of my own, a couple years back. raphael and i also laugh together about things like the tusk teeth entry.

I checked out Lisa’s myspace and was so amazed! She is someone I would have loved to know at 26! Interesting books, great music, gorgeous and fun babies! Into prison reform! Murakami! Baking bread! Buddhism! Come on out and visit the ocean anytime Lisa!

Economy of language, precision of intention and courage to celebrate your marvelous self.

I love Amalia’s photos and her drawings. I love how she represents her kids in her work and how intimately she brings the viewer into her world. I think I can see that she sees herself as THE MOM, but with this secret thing, this amazing talent.

what is this redhead thing?????

She’s honest and brave.
