Mika
Breast Cancer is not my story to tell. I don't live with the struggles of it, but my Dear friend Mika does. I have known Mika since she was in high school, my daughter Kirsten's best-friend. This is Mika's second bout with breast cancer.
Yesterday she drove up from LA (about 100 miles south of me) for her henna 'hat', I did this for her the last time she went through this. She walked in with her newly shaven head a bit crest-fallen. Tomorrow she goes back to classes (she's going for her 2nd Masters) and wanted to go back with a head that didn't scream "I'm sick".
She sat, we talked, and talked, and I henna'd and henn
Artistic Excuse #1
I have been absent from dA for so long, I can't come up with a better excuse than I've been busy. Truth be told I haven't felt the urge to create, because the truth is, all I have to do is look around dA and it's full of 'busy' people, doing art.
But not me, I have taken on a fantastically perfect job for me (in the most unartistic atmosphere) as a Personal/Executive Assistant. I have the ability to think in an very organized fashion (very left brained), which works well for me in the 'ability to create an income', department, but not so well in the 'ability to create art' department. seems I'm not bi-brained.
So I will just have to bombard

June Gloom
The normal weather pattern for June, here in Santa Barbara is a heavy marine layer...aka Fog. 7 am looks like 10am, looks like 3pm...then miraculously, at about 5pm the sun comes out!
If you look at the images I'm featuring, you might get the wrong idea...the marine layer really is nothing like fog, fog is mysterious, surreal and somewhat alluring...the Marine Layer is none of those things, its a heavy cloud layer that doesn't change any of the natural value changes, lights and darks, you find in a typical day. Fog would be a wonderful change....
So, while I wait for July to come around and the sun to come out, I thought I'd cheer myself u
