You hooooo.....

Eeeeeek. i didn't even look at the date of my last post. I don't want to know, I have an idea. Here is not where I have been.

I feel like I have been on a journey....

Where you ask? Where have I gone. "Here and there" I say. Mostly there I guess. What can I say, I am fickle. I go where the wind blows me and lately it has been away from the computer, the internet, etc. I often wonder how so many people seem to find the time to have kids, jobs, successful blogs and Facebook pages, post enough things to keep people interested and manage to keep there houses clean too! I guess I just started to feel overwhelmed. I had so many things that I wanted to do, things that needed to be done around the house. Bike rides to take and walks with hubby. 

It is so easy to get caught up in social networks, there seems to be new ones all the time. You just feel this stress... the need to keep things fresh and keep it coming. It is sometimes this delicate balancing act and it is hard to perform. I have a few things on the go right now. A collection of mixed media acrylics, some e-courses, yes e-courses (mixed-media, water-colour and photoshop). So much to do so little time and only so much sleep you can skip hahaha......and laundry. 


I'm looking... hard, and I think I am slowly finding myself. I don't think I will ever completely find myself because I will always be looking... and that's a good thing.

Be the seed pods...

A while back Millande had a journal prompt a day with the theme "Be the seed". It was fun, for the first two days, then poof, stuff just got in the way. I did record most of the process however and this is a little short video of it. Hope you enjoy it.




Can you believe it is like 20 degrees here! We can practically wear shorts here!

Quick post


Just popped in to say hello.... I am still here! I am doing this fabulous and did I mention free workshop with Traci Batista HERE and this was one of my doodles unleashed! I actually made a video of it, it is not edited yet. Someday I hope soon.

When Traci messaged me and asked if she could showcase it on the blog I was tickled. She is a lot of fun if you want to come a check it out.

For now I will leave you with these words of wisdom I gave my hubby today. We were talking about personal growth, and the inevitable failures that come along with it. I told him in a text Fail=Grow. He replied "you're right, but failing hurts."

My response:
"not when you change the way you think about what it meant to fail."
 If you see each failure as an opportunity to have figured out what didn't work and a chance to figure out what will then it turns failure into success.
That is Roberta's words of wisdom for the day. I still have a hard time seeing my failures as discovery successes myself. I like that, Discovery Successes. I should write a self help book.
