End of the year


                                Reflection Time


 I've been MIA on here since mid September! Something freeing about not posting all my thoughts, whims, adventures and words on the daily. I know some friends have missed it. I think that is super sweet that they care. ❤️ 

Kinda going through a major life shift, not really sure what all it will entail. Life's too silly to predict. I take each day as it comes and try not to get caught up in the sticky art of "attachment" like the wise zen masters teach. Everything is impermanent. 

Since my last blog much has happened and also nothing has. I've fallen many times on the skateboard and have made peace with the act of getting hurt somewhat purposely. 😳 I got some new knee pads and hand guards. I've since picked up my bass again. I've got a new piece in a new show coming up and have been trying to be as true to myself and what I want from life as I can be. 




As we close out this crazy year I've been trying to notice each passing day and honor it. I'm trying not to paint it in the black shroud it seems to warrant. It was a hard year of hard lessons and decisions. It was a year of surviving by the skin of your teeth. Losing people and pets you love and losing yourself a little in the process. Hopefully finding some things and repairing life. I'm coming out of the year punching and feeling healthier than I have in years. This year gave me some powers. Wounded me and filled me up simultaneously. It will go down in history as a crazy year for sure. 
Wishing you all a healthy new year caring for the things that need caring and the good sense to steer your ship to your journeys proper destinations. ❤️

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...

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...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
