Don't Waste Your Life

                    "Rejected Seed #3"
The week wasn't a total wash and I celebrate every little victory right now. Sold this little piece to a dear friend and fellow artist Elva Robinson. It's one of the last little abstracts in this style I had left.

Artist: Elva Robinson
Elva does vivid digital art among other things and I have one of her Vida scarves and wear it almost exclusively- I love it that much ☺ Please check her art out at https://robinsongart.com/
I'm so grateful for my supportive artist community that helps one of their own. Being injured and not able to work at peak capacity and speed- makes for a hard month. I've been so thankful for every little sale from my Shopify.
I also had a kimono order from another dear friend ❤
Print on Demand can be a lifesaver. It frees me up to continue making my art while my fans and customers can order what they like on products that are useful to them- and still support me. 
So Im still in LIGHT ACTION MODE and working from bed- I can walk and stand and do therapy and all that good stuff. I just have to be super careful right now about my movements. Even just trying to get out of bed quickly or the wrong way creates a problem.
I am super thankful that my work right now is mainly digital and Im able to do it from the comfort of my bed.
Life could be worse. ☺
Day 2 of Facebook hiatus- trying to change habits and thinking. Some things and situations just do not need to concern me...and I felt myself thinking about them, checking on them and dwelling.
Not my concern. It's easy to get sucked into other peoples stuff when you're a bit of an empath, helper. You may over-care and not receive the same care or thought which can lead to resentful feelings. I'm really done with resentful feelings and will care respectively from a distance while letting it be.

I've been delving back into my "zen" and meditation. This really resounded with me. "Don't waste your life"
I think we spend a lot of time in our heads,wasting life...stuck on things that don't need us anymore,replaying things for no reason and creating scenarios that never happened. So it's a good reminder as I head into new habits- Don't waste your life
And with that-away we go!
Enjoy the weekend and if youre looking for art,artgoods and a way to help your hurt friend my Shopify has a lot of options 🌞

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...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...

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...
