Okay, first off....Im not the best at expressing myself these days so hopefully this intro doesnt come out as some garbled mess of words and scattered thoughts. I used to be better at this kind of stuff.

Looking at this group, I see the idea of empowerment as my goal. I used to be alot more empowered about expressing my art (showing it on websites, showing others in person) despite all the corporate/consumer BS that seems to be taking the art world and turning it upside down, killing it softly. These days, I cannot.. 2007 was just a tumultious year and alot of incidents happened at once. The timing was everything and I think that is why things hit me so hard.

Im slowly getting comfortable with at least blogging again. Even though it is stuff that is just "today I went to the store and..." or "I had one of the funniest things happen to me today....", its progress for someone that got hit so hard emotionally and spiritually that she didnt want to talk to anyone or show anything about herself to anyone.

Im not sure where to go from here honestly. My friend was so worried that he purchased "The Artists Way.." and the "Morning Pages" for me. Its a bit intimidating to me. Also, reading too many books in an effort to help pretty much gives me 2 views that do not match with one another and seems to just confuse me more.

Any idea if this group is what might help me? If not, apologies for being off topic to the tribe. If anyone does know of a tribe on here that better works for the emotional/spiritual healing of someone in my shoes, please let me know. Thanks.
