Flamingo

Today’s dress is one of my own. I think it’s pretty cute. The material is a little tougher than the normal cotton I work with usually. I made masks with this fabric and thought I’d try a dress. I messed up a little and it was too tight so I cut it and then ended up making it a low back. I guess it works. I’d probably later it now. what can I share with you today…the other night I went through a lot of my stuff looking for one particular item. I finally found it, but I went to sleep way too late. I’ve been listening to a few self help books on audible. They always make so much sense to me, like why didn‘t I think of that?

i‘ve been thinking a lot about my purpose lately. Would I be a good comedian? Story teller? Tour guide? Stylist? Writer? Podcast host? I think I could do any and all of these things, but which one really lights me up? I’m not sure yet. Maybe the ayahuasca will help make things clear. Some years ago when I was working at a Sydney based newspaper, my boss started bullying me. At first it seemed like it was just his drinking problem, but it got so abusive that I finally had to report him to HR. It was terrible. He was telling me I didn’t deserve to work there and I was lazy and a bad writer. At 24, it was my first real job out of college and I was devastated. We had been friendly and I felt like a failure. I stayed at the job a few more months but it was very uncomfortable. In order to separate us, my desk was moved far away. And a lot of my work was taken away. He left at some point, but the damage was done. It really sucked and that was my last journalism job. i wonder what would have happened otherwise.
