Keep going... this is just part of the journey. 💗
It seems like this has been a week of testing as this new season begins to shift everything. I’m exhausted. So many tears (mourning my sister who left for Heaven 5 years ago this week), so many thankless people and difficult circumstances and setbacks that make me question why I care so much. And multiple situations with my husband’s volatile health situation (2 very close calls!!! Still not out of the woods.). All this on top of my normally packed workload. 😭🤯💔😰 Taking some time to paint, reflect and spend time with my Father is the only thing that gets me through the blues. But it takes time to grieve and heal... Many wonderful things are in the works, but sometimes it’s difficult to see the forest for the trees. Trusting. One faith step at a time.

Keeping a little art journal has been a blessing. Oh, and drinking a lot of herbal tea. More on that later...

Happy 19th birthday to my sweet and accomplished ballerina sister. She radiates Heaven’s beauty and grace from the inside out. I’m so proud to be her big sister. Love you so much @ellianaballerina! 💕Never stop dancing!

So, after an unexpected surgery and week-long stay in the hospital, I finally have my husband @hummelillustration back home to recover. He’s supposed to be resting to let his stitches heal, but he’s a busy bee by nature. The first thing he does... make strawberry puree so he can have it on his yogurt (to counter balance the antibiotics). Me, well I decided to make a fresh batch of kefir. The combination is delightful! 🍓💗🍓💗🍓 Q: Do you make or drink kefir? What’s your favorite way to enjoy this probiotic treat?

PRO-TIP: Strawberries are good for your liver. They protect it against damage because they are high in antioxidants.

“That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” This is what Neil Armstrong famously remarked as he stepped onto the lunar surface making history for humanity and carving a future for the technological age that we now enjoy.
I wrote a blog about this event, but mostly about the things we can learn from Outer Space and how it has captured the imaginations of so many artists and designers in the present age.

In our hyper-technological age that’s evolving at the speed of light, so many people are feeling left behind. Not feeling good enough as we can never measure up to the perfect/successful lifestyles that are constantly presented to us on the most beautiful social media accounts and most alluring movies and TV programs. All the filters and editing out of the unpleasantness of life is causing an unnatural shift in our thinking so we don’t want to believe what is really real.
On top of it all, there are ongoing messages that teach us to live in fear and ads telling us we don’t have it together. They urge us that we are not enough without whatever it is they are selling. Our attention spans are at a critical low and it’s affecting the depth of our work and sadly, we are not drinking the joy and richness from the most ‘mundane’ parts of life. Our ‘smart’ phones are certified machines of addiction.
We are losing the most critical element we need for survival… real human connection!
If you are still reading this, I am giving you a virtual *high-five* because you really are the hope of humanity. You have the ability to speak up and break this disastrous chain of events that’s unfolding.
How can we do this with such a daunting task ahead? We start by recognizing the value we have inside ourselves as pure humans. Embrace it and acknowledge it. And then do that for someone near to you. Let them know the real struggles of life, be genuine, be there for them. Use your gifts, talents and resources to help others. Spend more time looking at and interacting with real people than you do with machines.
The world doesn’t need more artificial intelligence, it needs more intelligent humanity!
Be the best, beautiful, messed up, authentic human that you are. Don’t be afraid, but embrace the hard stuff of life because that is what polishes that gorgeous diamond that is hidden inside of you. Strive to do better each day, encourage and surround those around you with as much love as you can. Draw your strength from your Creator who is the source of all that is love.
You are valuable.
You have something special to share… and that something special is YOU!
