Investing in You

 

A picture speaks a thousand words...

Since my little Covid crisis I've been on a mission to connect with life, joy and the things that make me complete. So it was back to playing my bass which I used to do over ten years ago. I used to play in bands and gig and all that fun stuff. Some people only knew me as that girl. I stopped playing when my Dad passed away and I picked up painting again- which is what I went to school for. So other people only know me as THAT girl. But in truth I am both girls and am trying to embrace and find balance with both arts. Music is as much my soul as painting.
So I was pretty excited to find out one of my biggest bass heroes was offering online lessons and decided that even though I do not have a lot of money- it is worth investing in myself for such an experience. It's a no brainer. When do you get direct wisdom from the sensei? I'm over the moon!
So without name dropping...yeah I'm about to do that. Super psyched to get my skills up and learn from the guy I've been listening to and admiring for half my life. 
I'm doing so much for my personal growth and enrichment right now. Confession: I haven't turned on Netflix in almost a year. There's just so much to do, learn, experience that watching other people do it on screen doesn't call to me. I'm in super activated mode. Give me all the things to learn and do! So my gift to myself this year is investing in me, however that has to happen. More work, more rewards. Carpe diem!

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...
