A Year Ago: 'I was not aware until recently.  I did not know this music existed and I am sad for the time I missed and simultaneously glad for being here now. I'm not going to provide details of this band.  If you are interested please go ahead and search for that information yourself.  If you care, it may bring a smile.   I love the music I have heard from this band so far. Literally, everything makes me smile and feel an uplifted kind f joy that I do not feel often with just music.  Normally there has to be some sort of memory already attached to a song but this album I've been listening to today is phenomenal.  'right out tha gate.' DECIDE. Such a great word.  Yes, there are innumerable possibilities in this world.  Possibilities of the life you could live, the path you could take to lead you, hopefully, to heights of success and happiness you can't even imagine.  But, the thing is, you have to decide.  You can't let yourself sit there and think so much. 

'Going All In' can be traumatizing

 So I FINALLY got into jewelry making.  I take silver sheet and wire and turn them into rings and chains.  I can also make boxes and bracelets and all manner of interesting things. I am the happiest woman in the world. Also, I am losing my mind.   Every day I design, research, clean, shape, cut, bend, solder, file, file, and file some more.  I spend a lot of time taking pictures, editing pictures, and then posting them on my socials with music so folks find themselves interested and want to go to my website (www.lolaandspike.com) and buy jewelry. Only problem in this whole process is I've only had one sale.   I am superbly thankful for that sale.   I am ready for more sales considering it is the only way I can continue this dream of mine.  This dream I've had since I was 17 years old and took my first jewelry-making class in college. It helps that, when I do feel a major panic attack coming on, I can make something and change my focus. Anyway...What I'm saying is GO CHECK O
