"I don't wanna say goodbye"

I'm exhausted...so this post may be short and somewhat scattered.

I'm ending at the Women's Therapy Center this week. I spent over an hour writing closing summaries for my charts tonight. I luckily get to take my clients with me into private practice, but I will lose many of the relationships that have really sustained me. I've already ended with one of my supervisors, and tomorrow is the last time I will meet with my primary supervisor, whom I love dearly. It will not be the end of seeing her, and I may consult with her from time to time, but I won't be seeing her weekly, and I'm sad about that.

I did this last night:



It was inspired by lot's of feelings that came up around being bi after watching the last episode of this season's "L Word." The theme of the journaling I did, and then the painting is that sometimes having choice is not neat or clear.

For those of you who are "L Word" fans, I just have to mention that my favorite character is Jenny (no not the one I'd date...please - Shane's what that's all about, girls!), but there are parts of her darkness that I so resonate with.

Okay, that's all...Spinny's spun.

Like the painting - wish I could see it to size. It is only about four inches by three on my laptop screen, sadly.

Is that a finger painting?

I like the contrast between the red and the blue.

Most of my stuff has been finger painting lately...or hand painting. Really messy...really fun.

Terrific painting, spin! These are bold, passionate colors you've used. I agree, choices aren't always neat and clear. I love how you've expressed that here.

K-even though Jenny is my LEAST favorite character on L word (too skinny, too whiny, but does have that cute Audrey Hepburn look going on right now), I also really love her darkness. Shane is the one(of course), but I think I am most like Alice...the "pre-Kristi" me being more like Bette (sad but true). What do you think?

Kara...I think I agree with your interpretation. How's life treating you?
