Someone mentioned something about my weight a while ago…about image…the endless comments about image. Didn’t I feel the pressure to be thin? I said that no, I didn’t feel the pressure, because I am exceptional at what I do. I am leaving my music behind me eternally, not my tits or my ass or my head. When we are all gone in 5oty years, only the music will remain and a few pictures of another time. No one will care what I weighed. It’s so ludicrous…what we buy into. I will not, I never have. I see who I am. It doesn’t matter what anyone else sees. – Jann Arden

Instead of indulging me in my self-pity, you should all wander over to my sister-in-law’s blog and read about how, 10 years ago, my niece joined our family. It’s better than anything you’ll read HERE right now, so go ahead, run away. (But thanks for stopping by 🙂
Start 4 posts ago. And grab a kleenex.

I know better than to divulge too much information about work on my blog, but let me just say IF I HAVE ONE MORE CLOSED DOOR MEETING, I WILL RUN SCREAMING FROM THE BUILDING!
More than one really tricky human resource issue has been bubbling lately, so this has been a challenging place to be this week. It’s days like this that make me wonder about my sanity when I chose to become a manager. Today, I want to be unemployed, or perhaps a self-employed consultant. At least if I’m self-employed, I only have myself to yell at when the work’s not getting done or I’m pissing off the clients!
I rarely work with my office door closed, but this week, almost everyone who enters closes the door on their way in (or I do the same when I enter my boss’ office, or I have to close the door when I get or have to make an ugly phone call). Blech. I NEED AIR! I need an open door, with no secrets, no whispering, no confidential issues to deal with, no nasty e-mails or phone calls, no one blaming me or anyone else for anything. Just a little fresh air, friendly voices, and kindness.
There – I just had to vent a little. I knew you’d listen. Thanks.

Gotta wonder how something like this can possibly be healthy for all parties involved. But what do I know?

Martyn Joseph is the most AMAZING musician to walk the face of God’s green earth! (Or at least that’s what I think right now – until the next concert I see. 🙂
I love the buzz you get after a good concert, play, art show, poetry reading – almost any kind of artistic endeavour. It’s a feeling of being inspired, uplifted, and yes, almost a little invincible. It’s two feelings at once – a feeling that you could never be worthy of creating such perfection as you’ve just witnessed, while at the same time a feeling that you have no choice but to answer your own call to creativity after inspiration like that.
If you EVER get a chance to hear Martyn Joseph perform, do not pass go, do not collect $200, just go directly to the ticket seller and GET YOUR TICKETS! You will thank me for it.
