Hello February

                 Hibernating Butterfly
New month and ready for it. It's Friday and there's projects to accomplish. Seems like a good day to set goals for the month and look at January like the training ground it was.
* Goal: more time for family and friends (Work consumes me to the point that I miss out on quality time with my tribe. Not this month!)
*Goal: less social media more reading, creating time (Doing better with this- but can do even better)
*Goal: Do work on new work platform (Signed up for new freelance stuff last month so that was a big first step- now to get integrated and start actively grabbing assignments)
*Goal: Increase reps/weights, strength training. Did well this month in the fitness dept but now its time to crank up the heat a bit.
*Goal: time management for personal art. Gotta make sure MY art keeps flowing from my studio- not just commercial work.
*Goal: Put something fun on the calendar already. I dont get vacations and my calendar is nothing but work and doctors appointments. That's not life- thats drudgery. Putting something fun on my calendar this month- like a hike or exploring a new town.
*Goal: Meditation. I fell off. And its SO GOOD when Im meditating. Have to make it a routine thing.
Ok if I can hit as many of these goals this month as possible I'll feel like life is working for me not against me. 😂
To LESS STRESS THIS MONTH! Let's make it so!

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

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...
