Rewiring

A very old photo of my Troll Cat ACTUALLY wearing a tiny hat!

Happy St. Catrick's Day! Popping off a little blog first thing in the a.m. to clear the brain as I sip coffee.
I'm in the process of rewiring myself and morning is the perfect time to do all my new rituals. These include:
1. Guided meditation -Ive found some nice simple ones on Youtube that range everywhere from "Lions Mind" when Im feeling like I need to take charge....to "Just breathe and be right here in your body". Theres some for SLEEP and healing body scans. Doing meditation first thing in the morning puts me right here in the day and reminds me to enjoy the moments as they come and not get stuck in negative mind ramblings.
2. Positive Affirmations- I know I'm starting to sound ultra hippie dippie but I DO NOT CARE 😂 I put on positive affirmations while I soak in a bath and repeat things to myself. "I AM HEALTHY. I AM STRONG. I AM KIND" etc, etc. Because for too long Ive been telling myself I am Sick, I am Old, I am Broken...and you start believing it and BEING IT. Rewiring. Changing my story about me.
3. Bear with me because now we're getting into stuff that even I rolled my eyes at. MANIFESTING. There's a lot to learn about this type of rewiring but the basic pricipal is believe that you are going to get the things you want, allign yourself to those things and you will begin attracting them. I first practiced this when I quit my job. I manifested working for myself as an artist.
It happened.
Now I need to manifest myself in a better position earning what Im worth. I stopped doing all the positive things in my life that were working and let the negative take over me. Now it's time to rewire and reclaim.
So in a nutshell- I'm working on me and I need a lot of work. But Im getting there.
I have two weeks left before Idaho mural trip! Im excited and am making my supply and color list today. But in that two weeks are projects, projects, projects...when it rains it pours and everything stacks up at the same time. When its like this friends start asking if I can do this or that...it never happens when Im free and having a lull in work. Its ALWAYS when Im slammed.
Ah Universe...please organize your calendar!
So now begins the slow chipping away of projects.
See why I have to meditate and tell myself Im gonna be ok? I HAVE TO- for my sanity 😂
Enjoy a pleasant Sunday my friends. See you when I surface!

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

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can

Year of the Dragon

  First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE.  *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di
