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!

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...

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...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
