The Hard Truths

My poor baby. Miss Aria has been struggling a bit these past few weeks. She's been learning the hard truths about humans. She's had to deal with friends not being very friendly. She's learned the hard truth that she may be loyal, but that loyalty might not always be reciprocated. She wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone,... Continue Reading →

Dear Daughters

I will always fight to get you there. Dear Daughters of Generation Alpha and beyond: I’ve taken a few days to try to figure out what this feeling is. After some careful thought, I pinpointed it. It’s not anger, fear, rage, or jealousy. It’s sadness. I’m sad because everything that was built for you is... Continue Reading →

Friday Evening Gratitude

My brain is fried, y’all! Had a crazy busy week at work. I just finished the second part of my homework that’s due by midnight. I’ll finish the third part tomorrow.

Why It’s A Big Deal

At this year’s Adobe MAX, they offered professional certification testing for some of their applications. During the very first class I took, the instructor repeatedly encouraged us to take at least one exam. Even if we didn’t pass, at least we’d have an idea of what the test is like. The next day I decided... Continue Reading →

I didn't do too good on the first two parts. The third part consisted of the final part of the project, a... Continue Reading →

All That Shimmers

A couple of months ago, I learned about foiling and how to incorporate it into some of my print designs. I watched tutorials, bought all the stuff, and did some trial and error runs. It was quite the learning process. Once I figured it out, I decided to make bookmarks for my coworkers. I made... Continue Reading →

Hold My Beer

There’s days when I don’t know why I bother with the things I do. It gets lonely because no one around me has been there. But then I think about all the people that came before me, and how their lives were decided for them. I have the luxury of doing whatever the f*** I... Continue Reading →

The Problem This Year

I've been known to rave about my perfect, precious child and how amazing she is. Well, Aria is human and not without fault. As the school year is coming to an end, I'm reflecting on things we've learned and how she's growing into her own person. One thing that has been a continuous problem this... Continue Reading →
