Is your cell phone dangerous to your health?…

This is an important topic because 295 million people in the United States alone own smartphones, equaling roughly 85% of our country’s population. In the last 10 years, the popularity of smartphones has exploded, and it seems like there’s at least a handful of them in every room I’m in.

It makes you wonder, what role are these handheld devices playing when it comes to our mental and physical health?

I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life. ~Louise Hay

Such an insightful look at life. No matter which day it is, you can always do your best and look forward.

I'm not saying it's always easy, but the choice is there.

Butterflies are one of my favorite subjects to explore in my art and today is no exception. It is a symbol of and endless .

What transformations will you experience today?

One of the secrets to staying young is to always do things you don't know how to do, to keep learning. ~Ruth Reichl

Learning and growing are such an essential part of life and I love to learn something new just about every day!

Most of the time it has to do with , and . and are also favorite topics of mine.

What do you like to keep learning about?

Step out of the history that is holding you back. Step into the new story you are willing to create. ~Oprah

So much of today's distress comes from yesterday's pain. Yet somehow it feels like today's pain.

Letting go is the first step and then moving forward can be next. I have found for myself that letting go seems next to impossible for the really big hurts.

As time moves on though, this seems nonsensical to me. Everything is great right now and yet anxiety and tension lurking at the edge of my being.

Tempting me to give them attention and bring them to life.

Today's art is reminding me to enjoy the absolute beauty of the moment and embrace the even better future.

Can you feel the flowers yearning for the new light of a spring morning?

When we speak, we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak. ~Audre Lorde

This quote really spoke to my heart and my fears. I feel this way so many times. I'm scared to really say what I think or feel.

I never quite put it together that even when I stay silent I am still afraid.

Today's art is paired with a rock because it reminded me of a tombstone at first glance and then I realize how beautiful the details were when I looked closer.

This rock has traveled so far in order to be surrounded by others like it and different from it. It is also in close companionship with gorgeous blooming flowers and and a velvety lawn.

This is not a place of death, but a garden full of life.

So the choice is yours, be heard or be silent. Either way there are opportunities to examine and embrace choice and beauty.

What will you see today and how will it transform you?

May I ask you a personal question? Who or what taught you the biggest lessons about what you do? I spent 10+ years learning the ins and outs of my craft, and if I had to narrow down the three most important things I’ve taken with me, they’d be:

1. Don't overthink anything - It's best to take things one step at a time and keep moving or you might end up never getting anything done.

2. Don't try to do too many things at once. 1-3 priorities a day and finish these FIRST.

3. Little tasks lead to BIG results. The daily tasks that can feel boring to many entrepreneurs are the ones that can often make the most impact.

Before starting out, I thought most of what I’d need would come through one big break, and as it turns out, it's not like that at all. My big achievements have been gained by steady, focused efforts, hard work and sticking with "boring" daily tasks!

What important lessons are you learning these days, and from where?

p.s Don’t you just love the antique copper frame on this recent custom print job for a client in Colorado!

Owning our story can be as hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. ~Brene Brown

Running from what is woven into our very existence here on this planet is difficult. If not impossible. It is there, every waking moment as a constant companion.

However, there is the CHOICE to turn around and face it.

Face the shadow side, the darkness, the thoughts that wake you up in the middle of the night.

The CHOICES you make during the conscious moments will be the underlying energies that guide you in your subconscious mind.

In today's art, I chose Water and Mystery as the medium to convey Brene Brown's message. Our lives are the surface and our stories are the rocks we flow over time and time again.

The CHOICE is to continue to flow over the same rocks or to choose a different path. The surface tension will indicate the CHOICES we make.

Are your thoughts running smoothly or do they create noise and distress?

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. ~Mother Theresa

And a bright happy day to all of you!

Getting up every day and working from home is a challenge sometimes and it takes a bit of motivation (and sometimes a lot of coffee!) to get going in the morning.

Bright and cheerful art on my wall helps me smile and lighten up. Face the day with optimism and enthusiasm 😁. Basically it makes me feel happy!

Is there a piece of art you have in your office and/or home office that you can look at and your mood improves?

I would love to hear about your art and what about it motivates you!

When you feel copied, remember that people can only go where you have been, they have no idea where you are going next. ~Liz Lange

Where is your future taking you? Are you paying attention to where other people are going or are you focused on your own path?

It's easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to other people and looking at what they are doing vs what we are doing. Unfortunately this can be a trap.

If you are spending more time looking at others than you are working on your own dreams then you are most likely not very happy with the way that things are going.

Do you know where YOU are going next?

Are you following your inner guides and making your dreams come true or are you sitting on the sidelines of life and watching and waiting?

Today's art was created to encourage you to find your own unique inner path and follow it. You can see the clear direction to the flowing water and at the same time the rocks settled at the edge of the deck. No longer moving and most likely there for a long time.

Will you be the water or the rocks?

How many times before have you heard someone talk about the benefits of switching to a vegan/vegetarian/plant-based diet? Not only is it great for your mental and physical health, but it is also fantastic for our environment.

Most of us have heard this before, and while many people love eating plant-based, we know that it isn’t always possible or easy. Going 100% plant-based may not be an option for everyone but there are some benefits to making some swaps where you can.

To help the transition, we wanted to focus on some simple steps you can take to start introducing more plant-based foods and meals into your diet.

Sometimes making changes is daunting, so this blog post is meant to act as a guide for some lifestyle changes, made EASY.
