About
Who am I? Well, like most people, I’ve got a lot of different personalities within me.
I’m the loving, dedicated and selfless (ha!) wife of an emerging artist. I love him madly, he is my best friend, the person who supports me without hesitation, who is my biggest cheerleader (when I have something to cheer for), and the person who pushes me to be my better self. I am all those things for him, plus I am his manager, his business partner, his marketing & publicity director and at times, his bank. The challenges of being married to an artist are many and varied and I am sure you will hear all about them over time.
I’m a new mom, navigating the uncharted waters of parenthood (and apparently of bad cliches). It’s a new and interesting experience, and one that is showing up increasingly on this little blog. I’m not setting out to be a mommy blogger, but we’ll see where we end up.
I’m also a marketing professional in the book publishing world. I’ve worked in the industry for a while now, including a stint in the big bad world of New York publishing. I’ve got lots of opinions about work, marketing, publishing, media in general, etc. I’m sure you’ll hear about these things too.
I’m a loving and loved daughter, sister, cousin, niece, and granddaughter. My family has shaped, and continues to shape, me in more ways that I ever realize I’m sure. They don’t all know all parts of me, but I do know they all love all parts of me (even if they don’t realize it).
And then there’s…the rest of me. The me that stays a little more out of sight. I’m a bookworm, and a tv junkie, and a movie addict. I’ve recently become enamored with video games. I’m trying to teach myself photography. I’m addicted to the internet. I’m also lazy, and sarcastic, and overly sensitive, and lonely, and bored, and boring, and passive, and overwhelmed, and a seething mass of insecurity and doubt. You know, the typical 30-something trying to find her place in life.
The car crash that is the intersection of all those things is what I hope to explore in this blog. The challenges of being married to such a strong personality with such strong drives. The desire to make myself visible after allowing myself to become invisible. The experiences of a new mom. The drive to have a creative outlet of my own. The struggles of reconciling our dreams with our current situation. The need to not just be the artist’s wife, or just the mommy, or just the work drone, or just the good daughter, or the bookworm, but how to make all of those things shine through the ME that exists…somewhere.
