I discovered Kate as most girls did - in their teens/circa 1997 - Titanic. Admist my love affair with then still green Leonardo DiCaprio - this ravishing beauty came crashing into the rich fantasyscape of my imagination - with curves (similar to my own) and fiery red hair. The vintage dresses and period pieces she wore sealed my fate, I would forever love Kate Winslet.

A cult fan follower of Winslet - I’ve seen everything that she had the smallest role in. In 2006, she floored me with her performance as Sarah Pierce in Little Children.  A dark,frankly disturbing film, dealing with the nuances of life as a repressed suburban housewife coupled with suburban reaction to pedophilia.

And now, November 2008 - She’s on the cover of Vanity Fair, striking the Catherine Deneuve poses from Belle de Jour, a fantastic French classic film about a housewife moonlighting as a daytime prostitute.

The Deneuve/Winslet crossover makes my heart flutter (My first Deneuve film was Indochine). She is gorgeous, radiant and comfortable in her own skin. All the things I feel as I approach the big 30. Thank you once again Kate for being a role model.

The day I turned 27, I began a two year process of *trying* to define who I was, and trying to figure out the context of my life. Talk about battling demons.

Self Discovery

Denial

Anger

Regret

Fear

Tears

Duality

Came to Change. It followed with:

Self - Love

Acceptance

Cohesiveness

Happiness

Anticipation

Self - Awareness

Fearlessness

Faith

Went to marketing event at 8-Eighteen Wine Bar last week -

Was asked what I do -

I replied - “Why I’m Your Muse”

The man smiled and said, “Actually, Yes You Are.”

“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but has to be someone”

Business card now says “Muse”.

This is the first “day off” I’ve had in 27 days. A real day off.

Cleaning…

Groceries…

Phone calls…

Copywriting….

Okay, I don’t know doing all that can really constitute a day off.

But, I’ll call it a day off because my cute, toned tush wasn’t married to the unforgiving, gray upholstery of my car.

I was home, it was grounding, it was good.

I felt steady, I felt secure. Needed that.

Twitter….

I’ve been tweeting like crazy, loving the context of only 140 characters.

And I even more love the voyeuristic quality of someone watching my life, or the life I feed to them.

But honestly, twitter isn’t a replacement for writing - blog writing, notebooking (my new term that I’m gonna call blog entries) or journaling.

Tried just tweeting and taking pen to paper, not working for me.

I am a virtual creationist. I like to see my words spring forth and live on screen.

Or be transposed from the quick scrap of nothing I put them on, so they wouldn’t be a passing thought that went as quickly as it came from the ever meandering workings of my subconscious.

Twitter is no substitite for  writing - sorry, “blogging” - so not a verb people - blog writing, journaling or notebooking. You have to actually share and flesh out ideas, concepts and perceptions.  You never know who may be reading you, and if you stop, you may lose them and you don’t know when you might have needed them.
