New New New


This week is the slowest moving one I've had in a long time. Maybe it's because I'm headed home next week for Spring Break. (Ah yes. Others may choose to go to the sunny beaches of South Padre and Florida...but I prefer the windy and flat scenery of Abilene Texas.) While I'm there though, I'm getting a new bicycle! Naturally, the excited is pretty high over here in Julia Land. Along with the new set of wheels headed my way, a road trip with the family is also in the horizon! Fun times are approaching!

Random tidbit: If you read this on the 'reg' then you know I talk about my art, and the ideas behind it. And if you're interested in seeing how I visually show these ideas click here to see some of my latest work! Enjoy! Send thoughts my way if anything intrigues you!

Current Update from Julia's Mind:
Most recently I've been wondering about the idea of how our actions effect others. I'm interested in the impact of one persons choices on others. I think about the little faces I make, the comments I say under my breath and the way I generally respond to others. And for that matter, the volume of impact I let others actions effect me on a day to day basis. Whether they have made a conscience choice to ignore how they have made me feel or not is one of those things I want to believe is a sub-conscience thing...I want to believe people only want to do well to others. 
This idea of being aware of who you are and how that can extremely influence others is a thought I can't seem to shake recently. I think this will be a new goal for myself. Being self aware and also noticing the response I get from others. 
I guess I'm mostly thinking about the sub-conscience or conscience way of blocking out others as a means to not have to self-examine ourselves in a positive or negative way. I think being aware of my actions and thinking about them is an emotionally draining activity but I believe this 'ritual' could and will be a positive change. 

Changes are happening so much lately and I absolutely love it. Its time for new things, new thoughts, new work and new places. Change is also on the horizon! Cheers!
