But they are so different from the way I was taught that I find myself thinking that since they don't look like that then they are somehow wrong. But then I have to remind myself that they are MY handles and however I like them, is how they are right.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547166972371240909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-63015142380640646052008-08-13T12:12:00.000-04:002008-08-13T12:12:00.000-04:00Who needs money though??

I just try to discern the difference between my own conscience telling me what I need to do, and that brainwashing from our society telling me that I'm a big lazy looser if I'm not working 50-60 hour weeks and making six figures.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547166972371240909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-48170188778739559962008-08-13T10:22:00.000-04:002008-08-13T10:22:00.000-04:00Well said.

We (all potters/artists) just need to join together and become one big voice in our head that says good things, especially since we know we all fee the same.Joy Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127174336658302937noreply@blogger.com
