Your Pep Talk for the New Year

I LOVE going into the New Year doing what I love...creating. What a life affirming endeavor to approach the new year making something new come to life.
So I'll be full on in my studio today working on my wolf and then doing a quick store run for my laid back festivities tonight. Charcuterie 2020! Thats simply how I want to ring in the New Year. Snacks. Cheese. Pajamas. BRING IT!
No hangover, smudgy Alice Cooper makeup the next morning feeling like run over poop with a giant headache. That's not how Im rolling into the new decade. I made lots of sourdough baguettes and have a nice baked brie with cranberry sauce that needs to party tonight. I feel like such a disciplined adult. 😂
Im also expecting to be fully asleep by midnight because I don't need a bunch of strangers on TV heralding in the New Year for me. New Year starts when I say it starts and it starts regardless if Im awake to say hi..or not.
I'll party with friends another night.
Usually I wax philosophical on the year gone by but this year all I have to say is I must've leveled up spiritually and emotionally because I just handled everything that came at me and I did not break down.
When negative things started creeping in my door I grabbed em by the scruff (mama cat style) and put them back on the doorstep outside. Yeah that's not coming back in my house.
Anyone who was not Team Trish was just not let in my headspace. If I made time and effort for others but they never reciprocated- I took notes and dished out the same. No hard feelings but TWO WAY STREETS and all that jazz. It was a year of taking care of business and taking care of me for a change.
If I have any wisdom to impart from this year its DONT WAIT FOR THEM and ENJOY LIFE. Time is so important and waiting for people to deliver on things (they probably won't) is a waste of time. Want something? Go get it. Need opportunities? Go get it. Do not wait for them. And while you are not waiting for things to happen- ENJOY LIFE...the mystery, the unknown, the little moments, the hard work, the satisfaction, the magic of decisions and actions and saying yes to yourself and no to the bullshit. ENJOY IT!
I hope your New Year is filled with great decisions, peace, health, charcuteries and creating. ❤

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 calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
