Playing in Puddles
They say healing is not linear, and my journey has been proof. There are places in my life where her (ex wife) influence is still felt, how those memories and traumas impact the way I move in life… Some thoughts I had today as I examined my prospects and thoughts on dating, and how it is clear to me that I still haven’t reached that place where I was once a brave soul. Ready to indulge in the excitement of a new love… I only play in shallow water… I’m still not ready to dive back into the ocean.I don’t trust my ability to handle the rush of being pulled…

6 Weeks to Live
Hello hello! I hope all is going well out there with whoever is reading this entry 🙂 Before I get started, I wanted to address the title of this entry. I hope it isn’t found to be insensitive, my intentions aren’t to upset anyone who’s heard these words themselves. My choice of words is mostly metaphorical, but there was a time they felt quite literal to me. I don’t in any way want to scare or trigger anyone, and I hope it’s understood why these words fit better than any. With that said, let me further explain. I wrote this entry some time in early April. I had been filtering…

2021- Last Call
Well hello there 🙂 Welcome back and thank you for returning to read more of my rants! I ended up taking a much longer hiatus than I had intended (which, now that I think about it, I never intended to go missing at all), but I suppose in more ways than one I seemed to have needed it. So we’ll just go ahead and call it a mini vacay 😉 This topic has been kickin it on the back burner for a few weeks now, but I’ve found myself in the midst of mental and emotional chaos unfortunately often most recently. I’ve been desperately trying to avoid a full melt…

Ain’t Nothing Quite as Beautiful as Music Pt. 2
Happy Blog day! Thank you for returning for the second half of my tribute post to music <3 Last week’s entry was rushed, scattered, and I hadn’t bothered to draft out a single idea before 11am that same day. The post wasn’t my favorite at first, but before I was finished writing, I felt a tangent coming on and I knew I needed to split up the story and write a sequel. So, let’s get back to it. The year is 2004, I’m 15 years old and living in Pueblo, CO. At the time, I was divided between family, church and kicking it with my bestie, Krissy. This same year…

Creativity- Mania vs. Block
Hi friends, Happy Blog Day! My last week has been a whirlwind, mostly chaotic, and I can’t say I’ve been as productive as I would like. This week our subject is inspired by the frequent ups and downs I’ve run into as a creative spirit. Any artists reading this… here is your trigger warning haha Around this time last week, I was flying high! Still riding the launch of my new ArtShop and the success of the first week. To-do lists were all checked off, and every immediate goal I moved toward each day, was suddenly behind me. What now? It made the most sense to continue to make and…

Tending the Fruits of Labor
Happy Thursday friends! I’m so glad you’re here! 🙂 Last week’s post was a bit rushed and short, but I plan to take my time with this entry. So… buckle up, I’ve got a long winded spill coming your way. I’ve had a pretty exciting week so far. Today marks one whole week since I went live with the online ArtShop I had been building. Much to my delight, I’ve had a number of items sell, and even had a specific collection of work, sell out completely! We’ll save that for later. Around the 2nd week of September, I began to work out the concept of my site, still being…

Opening Day!
Hi there! and welcome back! I’ve fought a bit today with whether or not I would make a post this week (I’ve been so overwhelmingly busy!) but I figured, one that is short and to the point would be a better option rather than skipping another week. Over the past few weeks I have been finishing up work on a commission I had taken, and while I waited for epoxy to cure, I cooked up a number of artistic experiments. I made these new projects with the intent to sell them online in my new ArtShop that I’ve been designing on my website. I’ve been working tirelessly for the past…
