So, here I am feeling yukkey about not blogging for months, when I come across “Blogging Without Obligation”.

Makes me feel sooo connected to all of you who stress about it. Check this out and feel better, Y’all.

Did you hear that “Southern” coming out? Yep! I have moved back to my hometown of Minden, Louisiana. Living with my 88 year old Mom. :-\ , waiting for my apartment to be finished.

Spending 8 – 10 hours each day rebuilding/transforming my Dad’s old workshop into a workshop/studio for me. Pop died Nov. 2007. I am very close to finishing; except, is any project ever finished if your ADD?

Will be working on a pdf of before and after pictures.

Stay tuned…or not.

I have decided to create a separate blog

This one will be named someting like “YOU own your body’ I want to help people take ownership of their own body, their own health and wellness. It will be filled with information, articles, and reports from every source I can find. Stay tuned.

Why the name “Transformations” ?

My daughter suggested about three years ago that I should write an online newsletter. When I thought of deadlines and their accompanying urgency to write something quick, I panicked!

So what could I call it, if it wasn’t a ‘newsletter’? Then as if in answer to my question, I discovered a new word, “Blog”.

What a perfect vehicle for my musings and mutterings.

No deadlines…..Yesss!

Journal entries when (and if) I feel like it. Yesss!

But, what could I call it? You know? Like a name, a word, a title?

Mknze’s Blog? Puhleeze. I don’ sink so.

Then, one day, I had just turned a table over on it’s side to paint it a different color, yet again. I spoke softly to the table. (Yep, you heard correctly. I do talk to objects and if you find that worrisome, you can stop right here.) Anyway, what I said to the table was this: “Well old friend, here we go with another transformation; a new life in a new room in a different house. I promise to do my very best to make you beautiful again this time.”

Then the word hit me…. “Transformations”“Transformations” seems to be the perfect name for what I do every day.
Over the years, I have transformed paint and canvas into works of art, buildings, yards, houses, rooms, walls, windows, furniture, fabric, and a multitude of ordinary objects into functional things of beauty.
And now, I am transforming photographs into digital works of art, and beads, fibers, wire, etc. into jewelry.
Not to mention the fact that lately, I have been transforming the pure red clay in my back yard into pure red mud. I used to love gardening.
The only constant in life is change, which is transforming. If we are not changing, we are not learning; we are not growing.
I am daily attempting to transform me.
