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. 🙌

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...
