Sometimes you just need to draw...

good week

so, last week, in retrospect, feels like it was a good week...i mean...i've been busy...in a good way....

I worked out 4 days last week....something i have been trying desperately to do again since the bambino was born last fall.. Working out make a HUGE difference on my brain chemicals...i am in a better spirit and a much happier person...i feel better physically, of course...stronger...and less like a blob....i hate feeling like a blob..

I completed a few paintings....which you can find in my shop...

I mailed out several packages....( i love mailing packages to people...i always imagine their faces when they open their mail box....)

And i sold a few peices....nothing large...but a few peices...which has really given my spirit a boost...selling your artwork, can really suck your soul out of you with a straw.....just sayin'....

And I got invited to be interviewed about my artwork....which i am VERY excited about....how cool is that?

I'm working hard to make this stuff work...

someone posted this quote last week on FB....and it really stuck with me....
It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is 
reach for it, myself." ~Joyce Maynard




Being a mom, i have a tendency to put my goals on hold...or not believe that what i really want to do is ok....that i should be doing something else...fortunately...i have people who believe in and me now... and i have come to realize, that holding back your true spirit to please others, is NOT the way to go....it ruins you...and you forget who you are...or were...


so,i am hoping this momentum keeps up...i'm determined for it to keep going...
