How has your world changed over the past five years?

Posted on Oct 17th, 2009 by Kim : PhotoArtiste Kim
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 17, 2009:

Five years ago I made the choice to return to college. I had started in the early 80's but had never finished even my Associate's degree. Since then, I completed the first degree I started, adding a second A.S. in Photography, received a B.A. in Art, and now I'm working on my MFA in Web Design & New Media. It's been an amazing journey with so many AHA moments along the way.

I'm showing my children that we can follow our dreams and if we slip, we can pick ourselves back up and start again. It feels so wonderful to be learning in a way that feeds my soul and will help me make a financial living while staying true to my passions.

Is your birth name the name that's "yours"?

Posted on Sep 20th, 2009 by Kim : PhotoArtiste Kim
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 20, 2009:

Absolutely not! I was the third child/third daughter to a couple that wanted a son in the worst way so they named me after him anyway. They changed the spelling to a more feminine one but it was a man's name nonetheless. Then in my 40's I discovered that he wasn't even my father. My mother had an affair and I was the result. So my maiden name isn't even a reflection of my true parentage. I changed my first name at 18 because I was tired of being mistaken for a boy plus no one had ever called me by it. I had gone by my middle name my whole life. Now I am contemplating a name change that will truly reflect me. I haven't found the right fit but I'm getting closer.

The quiet. My children are 15 and 20 now so they sleep in. That gives me time to relax in silence. I like it.

Where do you find meaning?

Posted on Jun 14th, 2009 by Kim : PhotoArtiste Kim
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 14, 2009:

I find meaning in all things by looking inward. It's not what the rest of the world thinks that makes it so. It's my interpretation that gives my life meaning. What is important to me may not be to someone else but that doesn't make it any less valid for me.

What would you like to be more clear about?

Posted on Jun 13th, 2009 by Kim : PhotoArtiste Kim
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 13, 2009:

I want clarity about what it is I really want in so many areas of my life.

I'm in grad school but I'm not sure I've picked the right major.

I'm single and happy but sometimes I think a relationship would be awesome.

I live with my children - one an adult, the other is mid-teens - I feel the need to escape but don't really know why. I

I'm not sure where to practice my spirituality. I have leanings toward Buddhism but also Paganism.

Clarity would be a gift right now that I would appreciate tremendously.

What new ideas are bubbling in you these days?

Posted on Jun 9th, 2009 by Kim : PhotoArtiste Kim
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 09, 2009:

The two most important ideas that are bubbling up in me is the creation of my own company, Eclectic Design, and the possibility of moving to a more tropical location once its up and running. My daughter and I both love graphic design, photography, and web design so we plan on working this endeavor together.

I would play the piano. I love watching the masters when their hands seemingly glide across the keys and the most amazing music comes forth. I would love that to be me.

Who do you want to be when you grow up?

Posted on May 13th, 2009 by Kim : PhotoArtiste Kim
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for May 13, 2009:

I still don't know. I've been in college since the fall of 2004 because I needed a career change. I began with Photography and now I'm studying Graphic Design but I think my final choice will be my own unique blend of the things that interest me.
