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.

Jim Rockford was keeping me broke

Ah Rockford files, a comfortable and silly way to unwind after work. Yes, I am completely aware that I've turned into my Dad and watching Dad shows totally cements that theory. I had to start looking at the handsome James Garner in a new light though... He was a rich and famous star in his time and every evening spent curled up watching Rockford Files was an evening a painting wasn't getting worked on. No painting, no art show material. No painting, no galleries. No painting, no money. Would James Garner be watching TV every evening in a tired drowsy ball and not getting stuff done? Probably not.  So I pulled myself away from TV land in the evenings and devoted at least a little time in the mornings as well. Even if it's just ten minutes. Even if you are just filling in all the blacks, blues or whatever... It is progress. Something is better than nothing. I'm proud to say this little habit tweak has totally kicked my butt into gear and I'm producing at a rate I'

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

The Backstory- cliff notes edition

  Skip navigation  little backstory I was totally working for myself as an artist and you know what? It was HARD! Harder than hard and harder than any job ever. But it was the most rewarding experience and I learned so much about so many things and I want to share that knowledge with you guys... My VIP art club. I didn't get a fair shake from the very beginning of my art career. I suffered a back injury at my "muggle" job which required a lot of physical therapy to get over and which I will have with me forever now. It was actually the impetus for me to quit my job and start being an artist! So I turned my bad luck into fuel for my fire. I saved 5k (painstakingly while enduring all the BS at a terrible job) and then I made the leap. I was so excited and optimistic about working for myself! I had sold little pieces here and there and was sure it was only upwards from there. 2 weeks into my freedom- my Dad died unexpectedly. What came next was indescribable DEPRESSION and a
