Worked all weekend. This week I am continuing the process of deep cleaning my house, packing for the move, and also deep cleaning the new apartment. Because somebody forgot to clean inside the oven (along with other muck that needs cleaned before I move in)! I'm tired. But grateful we have a place to move into, as our current house is being sold by the landlord.

So many changes this past year. It seems neverending. I'm looking forward to the move being completed, and hopefully, finally after a year of chaos, being able to relax.

I did manage to get a bit more done on this picture. She's starting to pop! 😍

How do you process grief? I cried several times today. I miss my mom so much. My therapist says it's good to cry. To feel all of the emotions. But I smiled today, also. And laughed. Learning to balance emotions is a life long process. I'm grateful I have a job in which I have the freedom to move through my feelings throughout the day. It's so much healthier than trying to bottle them inside.

I'm feeling much gratitude, also. Breaking away from the patriachy and leaning into a life worth living. Doing things my way. Embracing my feminine strength.

Crying is not a weakness. It's our bodies' natural reaction to emotion. I yearn for a society in which we are free to embrace all of our emotions, whenever we need to do so.

Happy Saturday, beautiful world.

I am in the process of changing spaces and moving. The place that I had called home for 16 years is being sold. We have a new space to move into. It's smaller. But more in our price range. And I've had to make peace with that.

Today, I am feeling like even though it's a smaller space, I can still make it beautiful. And a loving, artful home for me and my daughter. Instead of focusing on what a I am losing, I am switching frequencies to what I will be gaining.

Our current space has been a safe haven for us for the past 16 years. However, it's also very isolating.
I am feeling like the Universe is telling us it is time to move and embrace being in a more community centered space.

I am grateful we will have our own personal, 2 bedroom apartment. However, I am also grateful that we'll be living in a building that is centered around community.

So many thoughts and positive downloads from the Universe this morning. While I am grateful for all of this, I am also aware of the horrors that are taking place in the world around me. But, if I focus on that, I'll curl up into my bed and not want to move. And that doesn't help me or anybody else.

So, today, I am choosing joy. And in choosing joy and hope, I pray that may manifest into the rest of the world. I pray that war, hunger, violence, poverty, corruption, and capitalism will end. I pray that a matriarchical society will emerge. Where love is the dominant force.

Proud of myself today. Felt a panic attack coming on. So I stepped aside from what I was doing and allowed myself to feel my way through the emotions.

This panic attack didn't last as long as my previous ones. I have C-PTSD. I asked my therapist when it would go away. She said I would most likely have it for the rest of my life.

But, the good news is that it is manageable. So, I'm grateful that I am learning the tools to integrate it.

And I love how this Godess' hair is turning out. What do you think?

I am absolutely in love with this piece!

I was at the library one day, and saw this adorable little child in a wheelchair wheeling himself toward the children's section. And I thought, "How amazing and beautiful is that!" He inspired this piece.

May you continue to learn, grow, and prosper, little child. May libraries always be available for you to explore!

Freely giving and receiving is beautiful! And RADICAL! LOL!

Be a radical! Share the love! 🥰🥰🥰

Enjoy nature! Embrace family and friends! Take a walk, read a book, or create art for entertainment!

The revolution is economic! Only spend in certain places! 😉
