Susans Art and Words. Sculpting a Life with passion, joy and creativity. Thursday, February 26, 2009. Creating a life of integrity and meaning without gods. Or how to be a meaning maker instead of a meaning seeker. The Atheist’s Way by Eric Maisel. My question then, is, where do I go from here? Eric Maisel would suggest atheism. I’m not sure I want any ‘ism’, if you don’t mind. But one idea in his book that I do embrace is meaning. Specifically, meaning making. What does that mean on a day to day basis?

Susans Art and Words. Sculpting a Life with passion, joy and creativity. Friday, January 29, 2010. Wolf and Bear masks enjoyed by their new owners). Question: Why do I do what I do? A decade or so ago, I’d have thought I’d be done with all these masks by now, but I just keep on making them. Not only that, I keep coming up with ideas and creatures that I just need to make. So there’s that question again…why? And the answer, so simple and clear…love. I love that no matter what the person’s age or sta...

Jilly ran away from home today and I didn’t even know she was gone. How did that happen? Well, earlier today we had new internet and phone service installed in our home. The installer left the gate open on the side of the house and I didn’t notice until after I let Jilly out in the backyard. No response. ...

Susans Art and Words. Sculpting a Life with passion, joy and creativity. Wednesday, March 10, 2010. Today, I started a new blog. Why? Well, when I started this blog almost 5 years ago, the blogs were very different. So, was I. When I started here, the blog choices were very limited. I had only a few templates to choose from, limited picture space and loading. I wasn't able to get a blog address that matched the blog name. And as my blog grew, I really outgrew the name. Links to this post. Although I had ...

Musings and dreamings about some of my favorite things: “a room of my own”, yoga, permaculture, organic gardening, herbs, animals, knitting, books, reading and writing – not necessarily in that order.

Sculpting A Life: The Land of Don't Know.
http://sculptingalife.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-land-of-don-know.html
With passion, joy and creativity. Thursday, July 23, 2015. The Land of Dont Know. I'd like to say, I'm burned out. That would be easier do deal with, understand and get beyond. But I'm not. I'm in that no-mans land of 'I don't know'. But it seems that the more I do, the less I know. Where do I go from here? Do I change what I make? Choose different colors or shapes or items to make? Give up on functional work and concentrate on sculptural? Do I lower my prices(which are already low, I'm told)? I work in ...

With passion, joy and creativity. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Jilly is as Silly as Ever! I am so, so happy to report that my sweet, ten-year old yellow lab, Jilly is still living! In February, the vets found a mass on her spleen. They gave her 3-4 months with or without a tricky surgery and a few more months with chemo. I wrote about it here. After much consideration, we decided to give Jilly the best quality of life with the life she had left. And she is living the life! Links to this post. It was challeng...
