Dusting Myself

Burning sage to clear the air...

Yesterday felt a little "off". Some negativity had crept in and put my brain in a mad little whirl. I felt behind the 8 ball on everything and just decided to put my hands to work cleaning up my bedroom. It was one of the neglected spaces in the big cleanup I just did. Much like a kid- I had a huge pile of clothes on the floor and the carpets needed serious TLC. So as I sought peace in the day I carefully folded and put everything away. As I sought to cleanse my spirit of negativity I carefully dusted and wiped down all the furniture and surfaces. Quite a lot of dust can accumulate fast- just as a lot of "bad vibes" can stick to us and wear us down. I put everything in its place, vacuumed and scrubbed the carpet and as a final "cleanse"- burned the sage and set it near my Dads photo. The smoke and spirit and good energy were floating around me again and my little space felt good. Sage is supposed to be great for eliminating bacteria in the air and anything that makes for a healthier home is welcome.
Sometimes its just the little ceremony of cleaning that can make you feel whole, in control and productive again.
Waking up to a clean space does wonders for my attitude and how I greet the day. If you're feeling "out of control" put your hands to work cleaning or making something....the productivity does wonders. 🙌

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 ...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws.  Also, why bubble wrap? What for?  I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile!  So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...

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...
