Come say that to my blueberry face! I want a hug.

I am 50 today. I wasn’t sure I’d get here. Always do the things that bring you joy, and hold close the people who make you truly happy. Love yourself most, and never EVER shrink or hide parts of you for the comfort of others. Be kind, but don’t always be nice. Laugh as often as you can.

This reminds me of my Blueberry CD 🧡

I believe in finding the small pieces of joy when life gets hard, and life is harrrrrrrrrd right now. One piece of joy is watching my children discover protest songs. Here’s a list of the songs they’ve added recently to the playlist we listen to in the car.

You can come with us!

Today was “Take Your Emo to Costco” Day.

Another day, another painting. I don’t think it’s finished, so I’ll spend today thinking about what else to do to it. #watercolor

Hydrangeas were my grandmother’s favorite flower. She grew beautiful bushes of them. When my mother stood behind me and walked in front of me at Grandma’s funeral, I stared at the photo of my grandma that was on the big screen, with a background of a blue and purple hydrangea. This is how that felt.

I watched the Alan Cumming version of Cabaret with my 14 year old daughter last night, and seeing the puzzle pieces click in her brain might very well be my undoing. To see the parallels of then and now, and know that she saw them, too. My resolve has never been stronger.

I decided to try a hydrangea painting because it was my grandma’s favorite flower. This is the drawing process. I’ll hopefully be able to paint tomorrow.

Apparently, I woke up choosing chaos today. This should be fun.

Thanks!

I’ve also never rolled anything. My son rolls for me when we partake.

I made my bed space prettier. My headboard is the backside of a cubby bookshelf, so I painted some thrifted stuff (the white squares are abstract in the middle with song lyrics written around the edges), then I added the faerie door dice box I made. I think it feels cozy.

Fun fact: I have never used a bong before.

You’re inspiring! I’ll make sure you see it and we’ll go from there.

Let’s see how it turns out first. I don’t normally sell my artwork. I’m one of those crazy people who just gives it away. I actually bought some really big paper I want to use and this may be just the thing to try on it!

No pressure! 😂

I am SO glad we are friends.

I just realized that I liked a lot of your posts in quick succession. I promise I’m not stalking you! Also, this is the sunset picture I’m going to try and paint.

You’re my friend. I sprinkle excitement everywhere I go!

Live your best life!

I am filled with dread for our country as it slides quickly into dystopia (I’ve been using this word a lot, but it fits), but I am equally filled with love for those of us who will hold each other up to keep from drowning. I vow to be a lifeline as long as there is air in my lungs.

My birthday!!!

THAT IS SO COOL!

I just so happen to be listening to Billie Holiday right now. Let’s dance!

Thanks!

Omg I want Twizzlers now.

This is part two me this one. I’ll add another comment to sure what was done last time! It’s wrapping around my arm.
