Ritual de lo Habitual


This is what happens when you jump off Facebook...you get your life back. Breaking bad habits like wasting time on social media sites is one of the best ways to change your life. Since leaving the hospital and the horrible Covid19 episode-not wasting time has been forefront of my mind. Along with health... physical and mental. FB is just kinda trash right now. I do miss the connection to my family and friends who made it pleasant so in time will probably do a lot of adjusting so they are what I see when I do log on there. But first day off- not missing it. I took the time that would've been wasted and decluttered a VERY cluttered washroom.
I've been haphazardly collecting small plants and stashing them willy nilly on a tiny shelf filled with tools and cat food.
My wash room had no surface area to fold towels....and honestly had become a junk area where totes got stashed and anything unsightly came to live. So I worked to make it an inspiring plant haven and make surface area to fold laundry. A random board laid across an intersection of window sills gave me a plant shelf!
Also I made it a point to actually message some people yesterday so there was some direct contact as opposed to you know...thumb reacts.
Today I'm working on records for a commission and another new habit to replace the bad Facebook habit- morning walks to get the body moving and more meditation. Take care of the mind, spirit. If you're experiencing anxiety tackle what the source is...it just might be a bad social media habit. I know... because that was me ✋

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

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...
