Norma Jean, how I adore you.

We set the date…moved it up a whole year. Reserved the venue today, August 7th, 2010. My life has been drastically changed (for the better!) in the last 4 days. Graduation. Engagement. And I received the job offer for the position I prepared so tediously for. Maybe someone somewhere really is looking out for me and decided it was time for a little sprinkle of luck and good fortune. Or maybe I am who I am, involved in a randomly occuring series of events which are starting to get better and more fun (albeit challenging) with each day. Regardless, I am thankful. So thankful for all the love shown by my family and friends and all of the wonderful opportunities coming my way. I do have a bit of a 5-6 day lull coming next week, and in between shopping for essentially an ENTIRELY new wardrobe for work, I plan on making some new art for you to ogle. Perhaps snap a few photos, hit the shutter if it’s not too frigid outside. I feel little bursts of creativity coming back to me as I embark on a new chapter of my life. I am welcoming it cautiously but with open arms. I want to succeed, continue to make others proud, and foster my blossoming relationship.

Before I leave you, here is one of my new favorite photos of Marilyn Monroe. I particulary enjoy this one, because it’s said that at this very moment in the photo shoot she simply “switched”. She was done…no longer Marilyn Monroe. Simply Norma Jean. A human being, living, suffering, enduring.
