Don't Waste Your Life

"Rejected Seed #3"
The week wasn't a total wash and I celebrate every little victory right now. Sold this little piece to a dear friend and fellow artist Elva Robinson. It's one of the last little abstracts in this style I had left.

Artist: Elva Robinson

Elva does vivid digital art among other things and I have one of her Vida scarves and wear it almost exclusively- I love it that much ☺ Please check her art out at https://robinsongart.com/

I'm so grateful for my supportive artist community that helps one of their own. Being injured and not able to work at peak capacity and speed- makes for a hard month. I've been so thankful for every little sale from my Shopify.
I also had a kimono order from another dear friend ❤

Print on Demand can be a lifesaver. It frees me up to continue making my art while my fans and customers can order what they like on products that are useful to them- and still support me.

So Im still in LIGHT ACTION MODE and working from bed- I can walk and stand and do therapy and all that good stuff. I just have to be super careful right now about my movements. Even just trying to get out of bed quickly or the wrong way creates a problem.

I am super thankful that my work right now is mainly digital and Im able to do it from the comfort of my bed.

Life could be worse. ☺

Day 2 of Facebook hiatus- trying to change habits and thinking. Some things and situations just do not need to concern me...and I felt myself thinking about them, checking on them and dwelling.

Not my concern. It's easy to get sucked into other peoples stuff when you're a bit of an empath, helper. You may over-care and not receive the same care or thought which can lead to resentful feelings. I'm really done with resentful feelings and will care respectively from a distance while letting it be.

I've been delving back into my "zen" and meditation. This really resounded with me. "Don't waste your life"

I think we spend a lot of time in our heads,wasting life...stuck on things that don't need us anymore,replaying things for no reason and creating scenarios that never happened. So it's a good reminder as I head into new habits- Don't waste your life

And with that-away we go!

Enjoy the weekend and if youre looking for art,artgoods and a way to help your hurt friend my Shopify has a lot of options 🌞

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 ...

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 ...

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...
