Currently reading "Anti-Diet" by Christy Harrison and "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig. Guess which one was so boring I had to skip to the end????

........
the heart of the Earth
a soul crying in the desert
shedding tears into soil
tears water the Earth
a seed grows peace on parched land
water the future into being

This is what it looks like when a racist tries to cover up the fact that they are racist. LOL! Painting by Kat Sturges! I'm really enjoying painting Halloween imagery. It is freeing up some of my inner fire and I might do dark arts for a while into the future! #comedy #comicsketch #antiracist

We need stuff! But how much stuff do we actually need? I've been pondering that as I downsize my possessions. I'm not doing it because of a move, I am doing it for peace of mind and quality of life. #minimalism #decluttering #toomuchstuff

The first time is always the worst...you get better with time! If you messed up...it'll grow back! I commend your bravery.

Do I see quilting on that list....I mean I quit about seven years ago now....does this mean I should start up again? It's tragic that these hobbies are endangered. Yes to creating!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says β€œdon’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

It feels like Armageddon is coming...not sure what to make of God's plans...surrendering to the unknown is about the hardest thing to do in life! Is it an end, or a beginning? You decide! #armageddon #endtimes #art #fantasy #scifi #faerie

Just painting and relaxing tonight! Sometimes things calm down so much, I get to forget my issues for a while. Loving a quiet winter night with my headphones on! 😍

When you have chronic illness, a doctor's visit can turn into a really stressful experience. I had a panic attack waiting for the doctor to come in the room. Plan ahead for your next health visit with some soothing affirmations, and maybe a shot of whiskey! #chronicillness #healthcare

Based on my yearly visit, Facebook is now a tower of garbage, at the bottom of which is a long lost friend's desperate cry for immediate help, dated 11 months ago.

You might be a hermit if...your planner has been empty all month and that makes you happy! Loving my hermitage as of late! #hermit #introvert #antisocial

Living with a chronic illness can be hard...you discover who your real people are when you have a setback! Ableist family or "friends" might try to deter you...believe in your own ability to kick some ass! #chronicillness
