End of the month



This morning I woke up at a reasonable time (4am... Which beats 2 am) and I was in such a restful, deep breathing state I didn't want to get up. Didn't have to get up... got up. I finally feel like I got some restorative sleep, it was sooo nice. Need to get up to do my miles at 6 am and that requires caffeine.
It's the end of the month and I'll be tallying up all my mileage for the month and turning that in to my sister. We ladies of the family all do our own personal mileage and add it up together to reach a common goal for the year... That being 2020 miles in 2020. My mom always gets the most miles... It's astonishing and makes me feel puny 😂

I wonder when I'll be lucky enough to see another toad on my morning walk? Spotted him yesterday in the dark.
Looking back on this month, it was a very productive one. Got a lot of projects accomplished at work, at home and within myself. Steady working to make life better and get stress off my plate. Taking care of business and creating peace... That's been the theme of July. Now as we cruise into August I'm aiming for more of that. It's also time to paint as I have one month to get some stuff ready for virtual art show. 
I think it's important to stop and take inventory of our little accomplishments and daily tasks that we knocked out of the park. Even something as small as cleaning the fridge, dropping a pound, finishing a book... It's the little things that add up over time. 
May August be just as productive 💪

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...
