The only way that we can live, is if we grow.
The only way that we can grow is if we change.
The only way that we can change is if we learn.
The only way we can learn is if we are exposed.
And the only way that we can become exposed is if
we throw ourselves out into the open.
Do it. Throw yourself.

Tis the season or should I say tis my season - the blooming season ! Last night I planted 5 flats (large seed trays) of various flower and vegetable seeds. Everything from favourite annuals cosmos, sweet peas & zinnias to 3 different varieties of sweet cherry tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber & broccoli rabé. I'm a little late with my seed planting but Hey ! better late than never ...
I've been thinking lots about this blog, my work/portfolio blog, my soon to be released Susan Black Design web site (+ all the goodies it will contain like a newsletter, tutorials etc) and the idea of maybe having a brand new blog. I know, I know ... how could that be ? I used to completely shudder at that thought because I felt so incredibly attached to this place, to this blog, in a clinging dependent kind of way. But you know lately I feel less & less that way. The time is a coming, I do believe, that my endless close up photos of cats, dogs, barnacles, food, flowers and such will not only bore you to death ... but will bore me to - I find myself needing and wanting my blog to be much more about my work loves & life. You can be sure that there will always be photos of life here at 29 Black Street but I'm feeling the want to talk (& show) so much more about my creative life.
July 13th of this year will be my 6th year blog anniversary (WOW!) 6 years of almost everyday posts (well over 2000 of them) with photos and words and feelings - of life, loss, many challenges & love. Lots & lots of love. I feel very proud, thrilled about & eternally grateful for every single one of those posts. This blog has helped me to become me. The me I am today.
Looking forward to seeing your new website! Our launch is early June 2013 and are busting at the seams!! Tail wags + happy planting. ~moose
