Oh gosh...right now I'm a tired wife and mother of two who has a full-time job but would really rather be painting all day. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to be when I grow up- or rather- when my kids grow up and I've actually got time to be anything other than a mom. Yikes, do I sound bitter? For the record, I love being a mom and I adore my children. Coffee, please!

I want to meet people who have learned the fine balance between taking life seriously but not taking themselves too seriously. Does that make sense? I want to meet artists who have found the courage to pursue the creative life. I want to meet people who like to laugh and tell great stories.
