Thanks so much guys!! A year ago, I would have never dreamed that I'd be doing this, and still, I couldn't do it without all of the support that I'm getting -- from FWW, and my family! Thanks again.

What a way to say "Yes!" to yourself

Faith, I am so proud and excited for you! What a fabulous way to celebrate who you are, what you love, and what feeds you outside of the disaster with Levi and outside of being a mother. You will be showing a fabulous example for your little one, who will benefit from it in more ways then one. And, do not listen to a single syllable of a response from Levi on it, as it does not and never will have anything to do with him! Tapping more and more into your creativity will support you in living your life more fully in all areas. Enjoy!

Congratulations! You put out

Finally, Something For Me

As if I didn't have enough going on already, I decided to add more to my plate. Something major.

I've decided to go to school. I've wanted to learn cinematography and film production for quite some time, and now I'm finally going to do it.

I stumbled across the program a few months ago while doing some research on the Internet. Of course, like anything of its kind, it's pretty expensive. However, they had some information on the site pertaining to grants and other sources of financial aid so I decided to go for it, and I applied.

It was a daunting application complete with questions like "Why should we give this money to you?" and "Explain your commitment and desire to be in the film program." The last question was an essay. I did the best that I could — it took me all day — and sent it on it's way. I didn't get my hopes up, though.

So I was shocked when I received the letter that I had been selected for not one, but two grants. They cover the cost of attendance and then some. I'm also taking out a few student loans so that I can spend more time focusing on this.

I enrolled in the accelerated summer program, so that I can start earlier, cram a bunch in, therefore finishing quicker. I always have enjoyed moving fast.

This is going to be great. It's going to give me something to focus on, something more important than Levi and all of his bullshit. There are some fabulous classes that are going to provide me with excellent opportunities for creativity. And I'm going to learn how to do something that I know that I will love doing.

Classes start May 19. I can't tell you how excited I am to finally be doing something good for myself.
