We got this


A friend actually misses my blogs! So I thought I'd catch up with it ...Workout life is in full effect and I'm on my second week of Metabolic Renewal. I'm down almost 2 lbs. It's slow going but this is a lifestyle change, not a race. Definitely noticed that my arms, shoulders aren't near as sore after pushups as they were last week. Win! I'm slowly adding weights into the mix for extra burn. What better time than pandemic time to rebuild your health and body?  I like that this program has a positive group that I can participate with online. Some mornings I wake up sore and say IM NOT WALKING NOOO...then I see a group members post about sticking with it and now they have abs. 😳 I don't know that I ever had abs. What... What are those things? 😂 Next thing I know I'm out walking...sore glutes and all. Aside from being sore every day...I'm working my skills at work. Yesterday's project was to make a piece of wood look like a metal backplate for a lantern. Pretty good if I do say so myself!


Once a week I will pop into the NEWS and see what's new with Covid, Dallas and the world. It's not good, it hasn't been for a long time. I used to read it every day and stress myself out. Now I just have to get zen about it. It's here, I'm here, it is what it is and I will weather it moment by moment. I hope everyone is taking time to rebuild their health, both physically and mentally. We got this. ❤️

    Yay you're back! Push ups??!! Real ones? I can do a few girlie push ups. You're doing great! I'm kind of jealous of your job. It sounds really neat.

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...

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...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
