make/believe

Documenting the creative process of sisters Briana Linden (in Portland, Oregon) and Phaedra Elizabeth (in Brooklyn, New York). They've been working together for the past 27 years, since they met and became family when one was 7 and the other 5.

birthday . . .

it was an emotional one this year . . . good and hard. so far this is par for the course with 2009. 
I feel raw. and open. and ready to begin. 
for my birthday I am renewing my new years resolution, calling it a resolution for my new age. 

this feels right. and even in the face of all the heartache, I have a new skin emerging. tender and pink. 
but also bright and shiny. 

I am trusting myself more, committing to listening to myself and sharing my voice. 

I am excited about some of the projects and goals I have already going on.  And I'm taking deep breaths and trusting that there is very sweet fruit on the horizon for all the projects and goals I want to begin.
