i have so much on my mindd. but i updated and changed my blog completely. sometimes we need change. "6 Guatemalan dolls" - when I was in San Juan Capistrano this weekend we went to Ortega Trading Post where these magnificent pieces of art were sold. i loved it because everything had a story or meaning behind it. and I came across these teeny tiny dolls inside a box with a paper telling a Guatemalan legend. Apparently children give each of the six dolls a different worry and put them under their pillow at night so that in the morning their worries are gone. Despite the cuteness of the dolls, I loved this idea. as I was telling my Dad about this he reminded me that when I was a young child I had 6 of these similar dolls. so of course now I am on a mission to find these dolls =].
dolls THEN: as kids we name them, we dress them, we marry them, we make them pretty, we comb and brush their hair, we make them rich, we make them have babies...an image of what we want our life to look like.
dolls NOW: we either have them in the back of our closets, somewhere in our rooms letting them collect dust, or have given them to younger people. we basically neglected the objects we used to cherish. ---is this why people act fake? because they are neglected and overlooked. they feel like they have to be different to be noticed.
