Stay Positive

Some little Yupo art I made and gave away

Yesterday someone wrote me and reminded me to stay positive. I needed the reminder. It dawned on me that half the month was now over and even though this electric bill looms like a black cloud on the horizon...it won't be long before rent is due...which is way more important in my eyes. So Im switching gears...
I have two projects I have to hustle on and Im setting aside the new little paintings I've been trying to sell online and focusing on the projects.
Social media has just proven once again to be filled with empty likes and hearts and almost no one helping to share your work (those that have- THANK YOU) but will wile away the day sharing
dumb memes, stories about celebrities and an endless drool over political figures. Thanks. 😉 I mean that happily. A point has been proven that I've long known.  But back to staying positive...
"
In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.
Thich Nhat Hanh, The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation. "

I will do my meditation today. I will stay positive. I will put my nose to the grindstone and I will enjoy this day. I will. 
I have LOTS to do to try to crawl out of the hole and turn this all around. And things could always be worse. I'm donating some art to a local artist who is facing cancer...and that's not me today...so gratitude. GRATITUDE! 🙌 
Another day to try, try again. Here we go- STAY POSITIVE!

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 ...
