:: pause ::: Keeping Resolutions
http://raeannewright.blogspot.com/2008/01/keeping-resolutions.html
Wednesday, January 9, 2008. Nine days into 2008 and I'm feeling that What-the-hell-was-I-thinking? Thud in the back of my head. Somewhere between making the list of uber-ambitious goals for the new year and taking baby steps to begin accomplishing them I forgot to ask myself what was actually feasible, whether or not I could handle such a hiccup in daily life, and how I would tackle a day like today when the cumulative effects of my baby steps start taking a physical toll.

Saturday, March 29, 2008. I was psyched today when I noticed that someone turned the lights out at Google: http:/ www.google.com/intl/en/earthhour/. Have you seen this? Earth Day is soon approaching, too, and I can't help but be excited and optimistic about these moments of reflection and realization that as the planet's only species capable of building up cities and mining resources, we can also care for the planet that gives us life. Yes, really, I mean it - who gives a shit whether Global Warming is a...

:: pause ::: Practicing Imperfection
http://raeannewright.blogspot.com/2008/09/practicing-imperfection.html
Monday, September 1, 2008. For as long as I can remember I've been a perfectionist. My father always reiterated to me that "if something's worth doing, it's worth doing right," words that still echo in my day-to-day life. Perhaps it was my tendency towards compulsive order and obsessive organization, but for some reason I interpreted those words as, "if something's worth doing, it's worth doing the best. I tend to want to control even the little stupid things that don't matter. Has life figured out.

Sunday, November 30, 2008. Send My Grandma to Italy. Always the coolest, Gram (second from left) parties with the girls at my sister's Bachelorette party in the spring of 2008. Two months ago, only weeks before my little sister's wedding, my family received some devastating news: my grandma, only 72 years old, had stage 4 cancer of the lung, liver, lymph nodes, and spleen. It was a slow, dreadful diagnosis with each new test revealing worse news. The prescription? I wouldn't let it go, and immediately st...

Sunday, October 5, 2008. Where did September go? September whirled by like a tumbleweed in a tornado. I was so busy-busy that I almost didn't notice autumn sneaking up on me. But now fall has finally descended upon the Northeast - the days are crisp and cool, the air smells damp and fresh, and the leaves are slowly making their colorful transition, scattering themselves across the earth, and painting my daily pathways. It's one of those events that you wait for your whole life. Natalie is my only sib...

The Artful Asker: Here goes......
http://artfulasker.blogspot.com/2009/03/here-goes.html
A Blog on the "mystical mingling of the joyful giver, the artful asker, and the grateful recipient.". Monday, March 2, 2009. Well, welcome one and all (or perhaps none? This is my first foray into the Blogosphere and I'm hoping I'm neither too old to get it, nor too square to write it effectively. And, of course, these challenging times makes the acquisition of these gifts a most interesting process. Stay tuned, please. Chime in often. Let me know what makes you an artful asker.

:: pause ::: 10,000 Days (and counting)
http://raeannewright.blogspot.com/2009/01/10000-days-and-counting.html
Sunday, January 4, 2009. 10,000 Days (and counting). Last week I was doing research on a project for work when I stumbled upon a website (though not a design specimen by any means) that calculates your " Decimal Birthday. Something about that number hit me - that's a lot of days. Often, I still think of myself as young. And being 27 years old, I suppose in the grand scheme of things I absolutely am. How have I spent all of those days? Have I really lived and enjoyed each one? Bloated, tired, and still fe...

You Call This Art?: The Migration
http://youcallthisart.blogspot.com/2007/10/migration.html
You Call This Art? Yes Yes I do. Thursday, October 11, 2007. 3' x 5' x 4". Another sculpture I submitted to the alumni show at my university, this piece consists of braided aluminum foil. I am not convinced of the installation, perhaps it needs more braided segments to reinforce the migratory feel of the work. any ideas/suggestions? A hidden singing talent? Trina—it feels like I hardly know you. October 14, 2007 at 8:05 AM. This is Erin (colligan lee). I like your art blog a lot!

Thursday, March 26, 2009. Some weight off my shoulders. I've decided to take a pause from : pause: — permanently. My apologies to anyone that may actually be reading my blog. your attention is appreciated, and you are a rare gem in this world. Frankly, I have been too busy enjoying life to stop and write about it, and after 2 months of feeling a nag in the back of my head reminding me that I hadn't blogged in awhile, it occurred to me that, I really don't have. If I don't want to. About The Brave and the...
