Little Voices

Boy did this week fly by. I can’t believe it’s Monday again.

After a morning walk and some breakfast, I’m sitting down to paint for a short time.

Later today, I’m meeting up with my good friend Micah, who’s visiting from San Francisco; I love the story of how we met.

Soon after moving into this apartment almost 12 years ago, I went to the gym one evening. It’s something I never did, as I only worked out in the mornings. But on this day, something was telling me to go to 24 Hour Fitness; there was someone I was meant to meet. Before I knew it, I was having diner with Micah and handing him keys to my apartment. For a week, he needed a place to stay before moving up to SF. My friends worried that I had given a ‘stranger’ keys to my place, but as usual I trusted my intuition. I have always listened to that little voice inside me; I never question it. Even if it’s something as simple as turning a corner somewhere or staying in and taking a nap, I listen.

The piece here is titled “The Disguise #3.” It is from my series of Little Girls called Evolution. The last time I wore these hot pink Isaac Mizrahi sling backs was at a Halloween party up in the Hollywood Hills. It was a drag party thrown by the infamous house of Xtravaganza. Micah was there that night. In my silly drunkenness, I broke a heel and have not worn them again. I have kept them tucked away for memories sake!

There is truth and magic in our little voices, listen!

Have a most beautiful Monday day!
