Hello, Paula Gaon here, Libra Sun, Cancer Rising, Aquarius Moon. Nice to meet you. I'm one of many aging BabyBoomers scratching my head and wondering where the time went and why I still feel so confused. That planned career never came to fruition, and earning a living is just a necessary chore. A few years ago, after that proverbial mid-life crisis-which I prefer to think of as an extended adolescence, and my mother's advice, decided to get back to artwork-ie clear out the accumulated cobwebs and neurosis and bring to light all that's been gestating the past 30+ years. So here it is. Look forward to sharing a few ideas and images with you! Come over & rap with us: http://www.apsense.com/invite/paulag5777

Be Who You Are And Say What You Feel, But Don't Mess With Dr Seuss's Lawyers!

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Many of us BabyBoomers grew up, learned to read, or read to our younger sibblings with Dr Suess's books. How we loved that rascal, The Cat In The Hat, and split out sides at the idea of eating Green Eggs and Ham. Even back then, I suspected that Dr Seuss was inciting a rebellious generation. After all, who else among the then Older Generation was telling us to "Be Who You Are & Say What You Feel..."?

But guess what! We Boomers who have a creative bent dare not try to use a Dr Suess's quote on any product that we intend to market--try it and you'll hear from a representative of the international law firm that represents our Hero's estate. These folks pull out some big guns--won't even discuss licensing possibilities! Sort of ironical, isn't it? But they do matter, without a doubt! Believe me, they meant what they said and they said what they meant!

A Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year To All,

~Paula
