Happy Hour Fridays: I'm painting, I'm painting!

There is really only one major thing to celebrate this week, and that’s the fact that I’m painting. Every single day. For at least 3-4 hours. On Monday, I painted for 8 hours. Count ‘em – that’s EIGHT HOURS. How many hurrahs have I had this week? Ohhh, something like a million. Really though, I [...]

It's an Art Frenzy!

So I’m totally not in the mood to write some kind of fancy sales page here. I know that I should, and that it’s important, but really? My brain hurts and I don’t want to, so there. You all will just have to make do with something very simple, and very straight forward. Okay? Okay. [...]

Apparently I'm making the worst decision of my life

Disclaimer: None of the following rant refers to, in any way, shape, or form, anyone I’ve ever “met” online. This is purely a rant against “real life” people. All I’m asking for is just a teensy, itty bitty little bit of support. Not a lot. Just a bit. If for once in my life, I [...]

How to take care of yourself when life is crazy

It’s not pretty is it? Taking care of myself amidst the chaos A few of you who commented on my post yesterday about the potential erraticism of future posts kindly pointed out that I need to make sure I take care of myself, even if my life gets hectic. I want to say thank you. [...]

The Post To Warn You About Future Posts

Things are going to get pretty freaking sporadic around here. My life is about to go into overdrive. What’s going on Honestly though, what isn’t going on right now? Alright, first things first. I’m moving! 1800kms! Because I’m insane! So in 8 weeks, I’m packing up all of my stuff and lugging 1800 kms so [...]

Happy Hour Fridays: Hello Summer!

It is finally summer here. Oh my goodness. It’s been a cold, long, miserable spring, and I’ve been seriously displeased. But yesterday, summer burst into full swing and the trees have suddenly bloomed, the flowers are out, and the heat is here. Took it’s sweet time, but whatever. This year, I may even be slightly [...]

Interactions with a Clutter Monster.

In the past, and up until a few weeks ago, I’d wake up every morning and the very first thing I’d do was get a cup of tea, and write my morning pages. Three longhand pages of journalling, just pouring out whatever was on my mind. Lately, I haven’t been doing this as much. Maybe [...]

Performance Anxiety

One thing I’ve noticed now that I’m painting and drawing again is that I’ve got some hardcore performance anxiety going on. The beginning goes really well. I’m all, “Man I am so good! Look at that line! Isn’t that a sexy line? That line is so perfect. God. I love lines.” I’m confident, brave, enthusiastic. [...]

I'm messed up! It's amazing!

I woke up this morning absolutely fed up. For the past 3 years, I’ve been reading self help books and books on personal development, and books on abundance and the Law of Attraction and spirituality and god only knows what else. I’ve listened to courses, I’ve read blog posts, I’ve gone to webinars. I’ve done/tried/read/heard [...]

Happy Hour Fridays: I'm really excited!

Last Friday I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off – stressed out, frustrated, and wanting to put my head through a wall feeling a tiny bit discouraged. If you  had told me last Friday that the majority of my worries would resolve themselves this week, I think the odds are [...]
