Paige, I am wondering if you were in my kindergarden class in Texas and we haven’t realized it yet? I totally understand everything you said. AND, I learned about Deborah Sampson in 5th grade when I read all of the biographies of women in my elementary school library. I recently told my daughter about her. Thank you for your thoughtful comments on 7OF.

Good for you, Paige. How perfect that you found the right outlet for all you’d been collecting for these years. I love “Tolerance” especially. I would just like to find some organization, let alone an organizing principle, so haven’t made much attempt at taking better care of me. I think I’ll now go brave the mess that is my space to be creative, clear it out, and use it. Happy New Year. Ski like you dance, and you’ll love it!

Pam–How funny; Karen was my teacher (she’s linked up above) and I love IS 183 and her class. I’d be back next Friday except that’s ski day (from January through March) for my kids, and I have promised them that this year, I will learn to ski, too. Dear God, what have I gotten myself into?? But if you’re there for the following session in the spring, we’ll be able to paste our little hearts out together.

i took a collage class last year, too — and i agree, it was an amazing experience that made me very happy. you have just convinced me to re-up for another class starting jan. 15 (i am in the berkshires, it’s in stockbridge at is183 with karen arp-sandel) even though i “don’t have time.” i’ll make time. xoxo

Dearest Sister Paige, you have inspired me, what greater gift can we sisters do for each other? I too have come up with a few “new rules for 2010″, i want to get the creative juices flowing once again, my focus is still not clear, and i have made a little bargain with myself, if i floss and exercise everyday, then i can wine!!!! I want to read more, anything good to suggest? enjoy your freedom and move girl, move!!! oxox

Paige –

Wow! As Marion said, write and rip and dance on, sister. I like this clean, emotionally honest post, but more important I love the clear steps you took when you saw they were needed. I’ve always hated group exercise, too, but have similarly found the gym an unexpected sanity site, a place where your direction goes nowhere but up.

Happy New Year, Paige – may 2010 see you (and all of us) happier, step by loving step. xox

I say we want a revolution, and that we are inspired in our charge by your honesty as much as we are by your courage. Write on, sister. We’re typing and taping and stirring, painting, etching, gluing and editing right along with you.

Paige–
Where did you take the collage class? I have always wanted to do that. When I went to a workshop at Esalen a few years ago, I went to the art barn during my free time and made collages. It was thrilling.
Your focus on yourself is very inspiring!
