Creativity Friday: Je suis fatique; Je suis malade.

Apologies for my silence this past week! It’s been the kind of week where:

~ We had a children’s art marathon at the gallery where 22 four-to-seven year old kids painted, drew, and collaged many creative works over a period of seven hours. This art will be the focus of our next exhibit, Brooklyn: Through a Child’s Eyes, which opens July 11.

~ I finished up five, count ‘em five, new card deck proposals to send out for consideration. Yes, one of the decks was the Sacred World Oracle. Two others are themed to Doomed Queens. (One of my goals for 2009 was to focus on expanding my merchandising “brand”. Progress has definitely been made!)

~ I sent the developer all the final content for the Goddess Tarot iPhone app—hundreds of art files, several databases of card descriptions, and more. I actually edited code for the first time in Dashcode, part of Apple’s SDK for iPhone developers. So cool!

~ My business got approved by Apple for the iPhone developer program. (Now to get my app finished and approved….)

~ My daughter finished pre-school for the year.

~ I learned that we were going to Europe after all to see the closing of my husband’s exhibition. When do we leave? In less than a week. Fortunately, we got a good last minute fare and have already fished our passports out of storage.

And more—all while nursing the worst cold I’ve had in I don’t know how long. It was so bad that I even lost my voice at one point. I had the sort of cough which ais more reminiscent of nineteenth century Paris garrets, rather than twenty-first century Brooklyn brownstones. And, because I had so much to do, you can imagine how much down time I had.

Zero.

You can imagine how tired I am.

Very.

But that’s the way life is sometimes. You simply step up to the plate and deal. I joked to a friend that, like Nicole Kidman hacking up her lungs at the end of Moulin Rouge, the show must go on. And it did for me for the most part, though some things slipped to the way side (like this blog).

In the meantime, I’ve a number of blog posts stacked up for next week which will go “live” as I convalence by the Seine. (Tough life, I know!) More excitingly, I have an interview and giveaway with Pamela Wells for her Affirmations for the Everyday Goddess deck.

I’ll be back in the studio on July 1, hopefully fully recovered from illness and filled with a certain je ne sais quoi.
