Week one, week two

 

Portrait of a gal at work

I like to mark the passing of the first week of the new year and what got accomplished. I stretched every day and did work on my plantar fasciitis and the weird tight painful spot in my shoulder that's been plaguing me for over a year... And lo and behold it feels like I'm healing. Focus on healing, put effort into healing and see the gains of your effort. Where you put your effort is where you see your gains and it's true in various aspects of your life as well.

When I focus on Woodwork and selling Woodwork- I see sales in that department. If I focus on art and prints, I see sales and opportunities in that department. Channel your efforts and see where your gains start coming. 
Week one was healing and rehab and it will continue. I also am being strategic about THINGS THAT DON'T WORK and getting those things fixed. Case in point- this old dryer I've been dealing with for about a year that's taken like three or four cycles to dry one load. 😐 I let that go on for a year. It started taking ALL DAY to dry one load and also leaving my clothes damp and smelly so FINALLY the landlord was called up and now that's fixed. Me being too nice and not wanting to make a fuss for the landlord caused me much misery. So the lesson is JUST TAKE CARE OF IT. Nip it in the bud, address it, fix it. So week one was also GET IT FIXED. 
Now it's week two and the focus is on starting my workout routine today to go along with the stretches. I am also going to paint finally, world be damned! Putting in my efforts to see my gains in the health department, time to put all the Christmas chocolates in the freezer 😁 
Hope your New Year is under your control!

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...

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...

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...
