Apple Blossom Dreams

My foray into the Great Outdoors yesterday ended up being a 3.30 mile run where I revisited 12 Hills Nature Center and marveled at the wildflowers. Not quite a hike though but I am pressed for time to get this painting done, perhaps a hike this weekend.

I had a most beautiful dream last night. I dreamt I was sitting in a garden and had just finished eating an apple when I looked down and on the ground was a little plastic bag. I opened it and inside was something that resembled a plum but pouring forth from where the stem should be were these brilliant blossoms. It looked a lot like apple blossoms and was one of the prettiest plants/fruits I had ever seen. Somehow I knew that this was a gift from my Dad and was meant for me to plant it right there in the garden so it could grow and flourish. I had tears in my eyes and was happy and sad when I woke up....my eyes were wet. It's these little reminders that my Dad is with me always that make me feel never alone. I looked up the meaning of planting dreams and found this interesting bit:

Planting seeds can be the beginning of a new idea, relationship or way of thinking or behaving that we wish to grow into something stronger and more prominent in our self or in our life. Dreams of beautiful gardens can be almost mystical sometimes, and can create a profound sense of peace, belonging and union with nature. This is a sure sign we are onto some pretty good inner work, as we have discovered a place of great beauty within ourselves, and for some this may include the heavenly presence of a departed loved one, or even be a communion with the divine. Such dreams are to be treasured!

Whatever the meaning may be I know I listened to my need to reconnect with Nature and the real passions that drive me and my work. The dream was a nice gift!

Yesterday I revisited another old gift- my musical side. It's been sorely neglected, ouch. Bass playing after not having played in months and months is HELL on your fingers. They are nice and sore today. A visit to the dentist and more work on my painting today. I'm liking the new color palette I'm playing with, lets just say I've left my blues behind.

Have a wonderful day friends!

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls. These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws. Also, why bubble wrap? What for? I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile! So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
