Pigeon's Poop

Firstly, my prayers are with those who lost their families and friends from the earthquakes in Japan and Ecuador. It has been really difficult for me to check the news and see how many people have lost their homes. Even close friend of mine who lives in the area near Kumamoto told me her friend's family lost their home. It is unthinkable how much struggle these people are facing every day and I feel so small there is not much I can do but there are some ways to help them through the organizations: Japan Time: How to Help (links to support relief) UNICEF: Support Ecuador  These days, I really cannot see any reason why I should be complaining about anything. Every night, I go to bed and say thank you in my head because I really am thankful for everything. I don't know particularly whom I am thanking to; I am not religious but I am blessed to be where I am, surrounded by the people in my life.

I had separated my dream from my first career choice of becoming an interior designer because I was not happy with my job, and I told myself not to worry about it because I found great joy in making jewelry with my hands and wanted to move forward from then on but maybe I was not confident enough.

First thing first, I am so happy for Leo for winning the Oscar (Finally!) this year. Now we are just afraid of the day we hear Leo getting married...  Anyways, if you haven't seen the Revenant, make sure you do. It's much easier to understand than Birdman by Alejandro G Inarritu. I see how Hollywood has been talking about this diversity and equal right movement, which are all important issues to discuss but I was happy to see Leo addressing the climate change issue in his speech. Whether you believe he is a hypocrite, it is the truth and we need to really make an action. It is not a political statement when it is the global threat to any spieces All the important issues aside, let me talk about this month's topic today.  Recently, I shared my brief story on Etsy forum community how other female artists inspired or taught me when I started. It was part of Etsy's PR team for International Womens Day, which is March 8th. When I started my Etsy sho...
