Listening to our “kring flowers” music on a CD that I made for my car while I drive! it’s so fun to have your own music CD that you can sing along to… And it’s funny because I have the kind of brain where I forget what we do after we do it… and so I need to listen to the CD that we made of our own music and memorize and sing along with it because I don’t necessarily remember all the lyrics I wrote in my journal that we recorded… so I’ve got to learn the songs just like somebody else would have to learn the songs if it wasn’t their own music! Ha ha thanks Dave Flowers for amazing fun creative times

They say fantasize about what you want if money were no object and really the biggest dream that I have would be to just buy myself a nice house and do my artwork full time and just share it freely all over the world like even have billboards with my art printed on it not trying to sell anything just create beautiful art and print it on billboards and maybe even rent out an entire museum and fill it with artwork that I do or do some kind of installation performance artwork and then I would get another car and paint it as an art car I would probably have a series of art cars and I would just go around the world and share my artwork with people for free basically if money were no object like if I didn’t need to earn money I would just use all the wealth that I had to create art and share it freely all over the place and then I would live in a nice house and I would probably have like animals goats and chickens and cats and I would travel and get a lot of massages that’s what I would do if I was extremely wealthy or didn’t have to worry about earning money etc and I would probably only buy my food from small farms and farmers markets and never actually go to a mainstream grocery store just so that I could support small farms and companies with healthy food real food grown on small farms plants and animals these are some of my dreams… I still want to do my art and take care of animals and travel those are the main things that come to mind when I think about if I had like millions and millions of dollars I would still be doing a lot of the same things that I’m already doing which that’s a good sign I guess yay
my poetry book is now available to buy if you want it and if you live in seattle i can sign it for you and have coffee with you if you wanna talk! “Kringonian Pizzazz: KringSPEAK Poetry Goddess KRING by Shannon NIcole Kringen “

kring spark thoughts
I’m so dyslexic that I said that I was proud of myself for making lemons out of lemonade I meant that in reverse! But then again it’s good to cut down on sugar so maybe making lemons out of lemonade is a good idea hahaha something got canceled and instead of getting irritated by it I just changed my plan and ran some other errands and then the thing that got canceled got rebooked anyway so it all balances out and then I found out today something else got canceled but they’re going to pay me anyway because it’s that short notice for them to cancel so I’m so grateful for that! A lot of times the universe seems to balance things out when something negative happens and something positive happens and it all just kind of balances out somehow… And even when it doesn’t it’s something negative happens it’s good to just use that as a practice to stay equanimous and not attached and have Inner strength no matter what happens externally
Note to self I want to make a playlist on YouTube where I do one poem per short little video… kringspeak poem videos- and I might have a playlist called kring spark… Which is short videos when I talk about a spiritual or wise insight that I have a philosophical idea that I have that’s wise and might be helpful to others and definitely as helpful to me in my personal growth- and then I also might start making longer videos on certain topics also I can make videos on how to teach people how to paint shoes how to do an art car how to live frugally in Seattle I’m just trying to think of if I was a teacher what would I teach because I do have a lot of knowledge and so maybe I can have videos where I explain how I do certain things and it could be helpful and useful to others….
I feel like some of the things that I’m doing with my art projects right now are making me feel like I’m breaking through a woundedness that’s in my family both my parents are very sensitive intelligent talented creative people my mom with visual art and my dad with comedy and music and yet both of them are such perfectionists that they haven’t really published a lot of their work out there in a big public way and I always wanted them to when I was a kid almost like I was a stage kid instead of a stage parent role reversal kind of I wanted my dad to write a hit song and get his own comedy show on TV and I wanted my mom to be a famous visual artist but both my parents didn’t want to do that but I guess I always wanted to make creative things and share them with the public in an open way and see what effect I could have on the universe I felt like that since I was 5 years old so I guess I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do with my life and my parents are probably doing exactly what they’re supposed to do with their lives we just all have our own path. The balance that I need to find is I’m so afraid of being a perfectionist that I’m sometimes too sloppy and not picky enough about what I publish so I need to kind of rain it in and learn how to edit and mostly publish my best work and keep my standards high and yet I want to make sure to have fun with it and not take it too seriously but I just want to get better at not feeling like I have to hurry up and rush around and publish everything all the time in terms of poetry music visual art videos hand-painted things etc I give myself credit for all of the interesting art I’ve done and I cringe a little bit when I realize that I’m overcompensating for being raised by critical creative people that are really perfectionistic my way of rebelling was to just be like oh yeah well this is good enough and just kind of be punk rock about the way I make my art and share it! Balance is key maybe!? But then again what really matters perhaps what matters is that we’re just doing what we love and sharing it with other people? Whether it’s good or bad or in between or mediocre or brilliant or it sucks or whatever maybe it doesn’t matter maybe all that matters really is if we love what we’re doing or we don’t love what we’re doing maybe that’s the only real value!?
Taking a poll! do you think 5 minute YouTube videos would be a good length? I have had my YouTube channel since 2005 and I have over 800 videos and I have 1,135 subscribers as of now. That not very many but oh well I’m adding videos almost daily at this point….I live adding video … (my goal is not about making money but about connecting with an audience- building community- don’t want to a I’d ads on my videos so I dont “monitize” plus I dont have enough traffic to qualify anyway ) I’m trying to make more shorter videos and so if I think about all the topics I want to talk to if I can just do short little cute 5-minute videos maybe that would inspire people and spark their interest in my channel. I love to sit there and do long monologues which is fun for me but I think the audience would rather have short ones where I stay on topic… so that’s my new goal for myself is to try to make interesting short little 5-minute videos where I improv a juicy topic… And yes I will continue doing one minute short video samples for people and I will do 5 or 10 minute videos and I will do long monologues when I feel like it is well I think it’s probably important to have all different kinds of videos on my channel that’s kind of the way I roll and then I’m coming up with more interesting playlist topics.
Kring Sparks! Music and art dialogue! Just got the idea to start interviewing people on my YouTube channel… interesting creative artistic people that I’m collaborating with and do a new playlist on my YouTube channel that’s interviewing artists… me and the other person can have a dialogue about our projects and with the goal of inspiring whoever’s watching to do whatever creative thing they want to do or enjoy listening to us talk about our creative projects! “Shannon Kringen” is my channel if you want to watch any of my videos or subscribe or like etc… and if you have a YouTube channel feel free to share it with me in comments! we can subscribe to each other’s channels!
Wow! I’ve read the rough draft of the profile by writer Brad Holden that will be published in Seattle magazine in March or April 2024 about my Goddess Kring tv show being part of Seattle history! It covers a lot about my background that led me to produce my TV show for 15 years! This inspires me to start writing kind of a book or a memoir about certain aspects of my life from my childhood until now also inspires me to figure out what the story that we’re going to tell in our documentary film that we’re starting to work on! And I’m continuing to work on a musical album with Dave Flowers I want to create music and poetry and a movie and a biographical book that are compelling and interesting for the audience- for whoever in the community is intrigued by what I do but I know that I need to remember to do it from the center within me (heart and soul) that is enjoying what I’m doing… like the music producer Rick Rubin talks about the artist needs to actually do what they enjoy and what they love and then share that with the community and whoever likes it is the audience that is attracted to it but we don’t have control over that as artists… we have to just do what we love and put it out into the world and then see what happens! It’s exciting! And I’m glad I don’t depend on all of this to make a living… I make a living in other ways so that I have total freedom in my artwork! I’m open to making a living with my artwork but I like that I don’t have the pressure to do that!
Random tandem we’ll get the jam done…I notice Angular lines and hands dissolving into trees coupled with perpendicular exaggerations along with Star patterns in lanterns-less circular spiral curves emphasized-record these phrases musically
