Hello True Art Believers,

I just got done speaking with Katherine Blackwell and I learned a lot.  Did you know that surgeons have to write the words left and right on severed legs, hands and arms just in case they get attached on the wrong limb?  I did not, and it was quite surprising.  It makes sense though, but it makes you wonder exactly how many times has a doctor attached a left hand on the right arm or vice versa.  As I suspected, being an ICU Nurse probably means you consume a massive amount of coffee and Katherine pointed that out.  Not surprisingly Katherine couldn't talk about odd cases that had happened while on her shift.  But I did try to get some juicy details,  alas, All I could get was that there is a Starbucks inside the hospital where she works at and that it closes at 10 AM on the weekends . 

Glitter is Boss in Katherine's world and apparently she owns a whole store full.  I guess it comes with the territory of being a mother to two children.  Katherine showed incredible perseverance in her challenges of working full time, being a parent, and going to college full time to get her degree.  I can only imagine the many sleepless nights and copious amounts of coffee that was consumed.  If you get the impression that we talked about coffee a lot you would be correct in that assumption as well. 

I had a great time getting to know Katherine and wish her well in her art career.
