OMG a weekend



Last weekend I had no weekend as I was fully engrossed in projects, work and work projects. Somehow I trooped through the week and survived. Lo and behold...a weekend appeared and as far as I can see- it's MINES. MY weekend. Much needed too. I forsee cat snuggling, naps and my usual house stuff... hopefully disc golf. Definitely need to start a painting. I signed a contract to a new virtual show in the Fall and need to get new work rolling.

I have graduated from Phase 1 of Metabolic Renewal and start Phase 2 next week! Super proud of myself for not missing one workout and watching my strength increase. So far I've lost 3 lbs and inches just about everywhere. One of my favorite pairs of undies is loose 😳 and some drawstring pants I used to slip on- now need their drawstring tightened because they keep slipping down. Whaaa? 

Last workout of Phase 1. It was a butt kicking. It's basically a 15 minute workout on M, W, F with walking done on all the days you can make it happen. It totally makes you SWEAT and taps into some stuff deep inside you. 

Who's this smiling person? Smiling at work nonetheless! Two coworkers had just plied compliments and appreciation on me. They are glad I am there and make the workplace better. They applauded my work and positive personality. I truly think your "good vibes" can be contagious and definitely affect those around you. I don't walk around mired in a bunch of "mind poop" or negative thought. I make an effort to be PRESENT and MINDFUL when I'm in anyone's presence. I think that makes a world of difference. People can feel your good vibes.

So my treat for a hard week of reporting to everyone's fires and not resting or playing... Crispy shrimp salad for dinner last night 🤤🦐
I actually only ate half and the rest will be today's lunch. I'm making healthier eating choices and am feeling lighter by the day. I also invested in a cheap but thick foam mat for my workouts. My treat to myself. My old 10...15 year old thin yoga mat has served me well but needed an upgrade for these old knees. I'm realizing I never buy a damn thing for myself and use things till they fall apart and die. Will definitely need new undies if this exercise keeps working it's magic. 😂
 Up early for morning mileage and sweat... Seeing the scale move down a pound yesterday just renewed my vigor to keep at it. I'm trying to reach a healthy goal weight more in sync with my size and stature. Got a ways to go but progress is progress. Happy Saturday! Hope we all get what we want out of the weekend!

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...

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 ...

Top 10 Reasons

  Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you.  Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing:  1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
