The Fact is…

by Sofia on September 5, 2012

Well right now, the fact is…I’m overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with possibility. Ridiculous right?

I’m currently experiencing what I call “GEEK A.D.D.”. I didn’t coin that phrase, some other witty  and well known Social Media expert in Houston did. We met at a networking event years ago and I’d hear her say it a few time and I couldn’t understand what she was talking about. What was she talking about? GEEK A.D.D.? What was that? Geeks who have A.D.D.? NOT!

There was time in my life where everything seemed dark and purposeless and I was lethargic about life in general and I lived a very small, safe and not very exciting existence during my 20′s. I struggled to find a path and it was like fighting tooth and nail to get where I am today as a more whole, healed and happy individual. So I had very little creativity going on for me during this period of my life. I was always very creative and my imagination ran wild, but it was as if my juicy creative energy was locked away in a dungeon somewhere and I couldn’t access it or let it out. So I didn’t have “GEEK A.D.D.’ then because there were no ideas coming, few opportunities knocking at my door and also TONS of fear about living. Fear about EVERYTHING.

So here I am, year later, a bit more put together and I guess being more whole and healed from all-that-got-in-the-way-of living-a-big-life means you have more to live for, which I do and am so grateful for. This in turn creates possibility. The possibility of something. The possibility of anything. The possibility of everything. And so literally, the floodgates of my once-locked up juicy creativity are now flowing and blasting open and sometimes even running me over!

While this is good, it has been going on for 2 or 3 years now and speeding up like a mean Houston hurricane culminating in its peak existence this year.

I’ve found myself overwhelmed with all the ideas, possibilities and endeavors that I can think or dream of. [thirsty for more? keep reading...]

Ok so who learns how to build websites, learns to design some things in Photoshop, designs her own blog, puts the blog online, blogs 3 times and then doesn’t blog for 6 months? WTF?

ME ME ME that’s who! What a dork I am!

I swear, I’ve written a million blogs in my head since March and yet never typed them or written them down. Foolish, I know.

This is partly because life has been very difficult and tricky to navigate this year, in general, and when you feel yucky for such a long period of time, the last thing you want to do is to share that yucky with the blogosphere. At least I didn’t want to.

It doesn’t’ mean I won’t blog when things aren’t ideal, but I was literally in a cocoon during Spring & Summer and just unable to really feel like myself or even be myself. I’m not quite back up to normal yet, but I’m inching closer, every day and hopefully will feel the REAL Sofia I know and love. [thirsty for more? keep reading...]

This may seem like it’s about learning a new skill on the internet. It is about that AND about determination and perseverance.

Years ago I’d had this idea to learn HTML and CSS code so I could build websites in WordPress.  I’d dabbled in it a few years ago and was just gobsmacked with all that code that looked like gibberish. I always loved learning new skills on the computer and was always a fast learner and this would have been one more that I could add to my repertoire of computer wizardry.

Color Theory: Part II

by Sofia March 20, 2012

It’s quite fascinating actually and I’ve discovered just why I was obsessed with a particular color in significant periods of my life. So as I mentioned, right now I’m into the color gray. I read various [...]

Color Theory: Part I

by Sofia March 11, 2012

Have you ever noticed how you gravitate towards certain colors at certain times in your life? Until I was 22, I was in a permanent “blue” phase. I had blue EVERYWHERE! My sheets, my clothes, the jewelry I bought had blue stones in it, duffle bags, etc. Everything I gravitated towards was blue in any [...]
