My BIG clutter cleaning (downsizing) project, started in July, still continues. I’m in the phase of actually tackling “things” but, surprisingly enough, this process has been serving more like a “mind-setting process” or “letting go” process. The clutter cleaning is more a psychological procedure, that’s what I am finding out.
In the mental space I have created through cleaning, a scary feeling has been growing day by day. SOMETHING IS ABSOLUTELY NOT RIGHT IN THIS WORLD. In the future, will my kids, our kids, have a happy and clean world to live in? Unfortunately, I would say NO to this, my own question, UNLESS we , each of us, start thinking about this seriously.
Even if I live the average life expectancy of an Asian woman, I have just a couple of decades. I don’t think I will be full-functioning until the end. Then the time left for me may be (hopefully) less than, what, 25years? Less? A shockingly short time left for me….
I graduated from a busy mom’s life ( I’m still a mom, though). I think it is time for me to start doing something for our kids’ beautiful and safe future.
The BIG Clutter-Cleaning Project of 2014 has been more than just clutter cleaning. I am glad that I have started this process.

Big Clutter Cleaning 2014 ( Downsizing Project)
I got some Bizen pottery when I was in my twenties for "special occasions". How many "special occasions" have I had since then?...Not many... From now on WE are the "special " and use them every day. These are all the dishes and cups I have in my kitchen after the big clutter cleaning (downsizing) project of 2014!

Digital painting/ drawing is a totally new field to me and still so challenging. It is not an easy version of traditional art techniques. It will take a lot of practice. But I can do it at a cafe just bringing my iPad and a stylus pen. Not bringing a who
le bunch of paints, brushes and buckets:)

Sumie again!
I realize now that my father was the one who influenced me the most: what I have become, what I love, what I do for my hobbies. My father loved choral classic music and bought tons of records. I started singing with choirs when I was in hi...gh school and I still do. He enjoyed oil painting. I have been painting various media since I was 1 year old and i still do.
The artist side of me was a bit dormant until recently, but I would like to start again.
