Any given Sunday

Yes I feel like holding on to the day a bit longer. Sunday always felt like a day to take time for myself, to recharge the senses, relax, create or do the things that make me feel whole again. Always a little sadness for me when wrapping up the day knowing Monday starts all over again. So for now I will enjoy the day.

Take time for yourself, do what makes you happy!

Doodling my way through life

“That pesky ghost was playing with my emotions all night.

I will just smile and wish it away.”

Doodling is habit forming. When the pen hits the paper, my eyes glaze over, the mind is in a trance,  guided by the ink, wherever it takes me. Words, images start to appear sometimes on repeat and when its over I have something unique.

Escape from reality

We could all use an escape from realty if just for a moment or two. It would be a dream for me to create all the time, with no limits of thought or imagination. Creating anything and everything, my list of ideas are plenty (writing a book & song lyrics made the cut) The moment my pencil, or pen hits that white piece of paper I begin the journey inward. I burrow deep, discovering what plagues my heat or brings joy to my soul, it all filters out onto the page.  I love making art and hope that my work can bring a little joy and inspiration to others.

Shed

Emotions come through and out like shedding of old skin.

Peel away the layers begin anew.
