My dearies,
If you are looking at this blog post, I appreciate you coming here to check out my blog.
Maybe you came from youtube. Maybe you found me by chance.
Doesn't matter, I love your being here.
I hope you will bookmark me on a place or two.
I am most active on youtube and eBay, at the moment. Probably this whole year.
I can't be all over the place anymore. Too distracting, when my goal is to focus on art and video this year.
I am an artist, if you don't yet know.
I am an absolute animal lover. I love animals so much that I stopped eating their dead bodies years ago.
I just could not bypass my conscience and I had to be congruent so I could begin to respect myself.
In my opinion, you can't say you love animals unless you do this.

Another thing I am is an introvert. I actually go beyond, to the hermit level.
After a lifetime of being forced to socialize, and forcing myself to ignore my own needs for solitude in order to fit in and to be accepted, I am now fully accepting of me. Feels so good. Also, this is part of respecting myself.
As you can see, respecting myself is a thing I'm doing. Unlearning all of the habits I picked up from childhood and subsequent experiences that caused me to make choices in life that taught me harsh lessons. Of course, I had to learn those. But, to be candid, I didn't have to spend decades learning the same lesson. But I did, because I didn't know what other choices I could make. I didn't value myself enough to make other choices sooner. Or to reach out for help from someone who had the ability to light up a candle for me.
Now I do.
Dearies, I make my living by creating hand made things.
Due to my overstay in the personal lessons classroom, I lost touch with my muse. I stopped creating for a long time. I lost desire for it, lost my inspiration, and was simple being, making life very simple and manageable, and minding other areas of my life that needed my attention. I had much to ponder, much to consider, much to let go. I had to find my way back to me.
This year (which, to me, only begins in March 21, at the Vernal Equinox), will be about reacquainting with this side of me. Because I miss it. This is where I am at my best. I have loved creating since I was a small child. I need to meet that child again and embrace her. She had been asleep, recovering. There was so much stress, so much to do, so much to drop out. My energy was so little, barely only enough to manage the survival level of things. People refer to these times as "dark night of the soul". And it's exactly what it felt like.
But I'm out of the figurative woods. And in the literal woods. My favorite place, the natural places. On my youtube you can see me walking dogs daily. You can see the garden I have worked on for the past few years. You can see my art, which will make a bigger appearance. I will be doing more live videos, painting while I talk to anyone who's watching.
I'd like to invite you to visit my eBay.
And my online shop.
In my shop, I have a notice that you, the customer, can name the price of any original art you might love and want. This is serious, and something I thought about in depth. I very much want to produce a lot. I want to be prolific again as I once was. And seeing the stuff be rehomed has always been a huge stimulus for me. I love to see the art I create go on its journey to its next home instead of sitting around my home/studio, sad and awaiting.
There's more: I have looked at the energy of 2026. A Fire Horse year.
In order to flow with this year's energy, I will embrace letting go, detachment, and surrender. And cut out all distractions so I can stay focused.
My game will be to play like a child, carefree, unencumbered, knowing, as I do, that creativity has no end, and, therefore, I will play without any concern for financial matters. My vision is one of wanting to be surprised, and rewarded by life. Fear is out. Trust is in. Life blesses me when I am content.
This is why I will allow anyone to send me a donation, whatever amount they decide the art is worth to them. I believe people are fair. And if you can't afford too much, I do want you too to have my art if you love something.
I believe hand made things are going to only be valued more and more with this disgraceful invasion of a-eye in the world. I also believe we all need art, colors, whimsy. I believe that homes and offices with art cause the humans to feel better daily. I watch a lot of videos from people showing their homes. The most beautiful, happiest environments are filled with art on the walls, shelves, and corners and gardens. It's absolutely a NEED for humans, just like air, food, sunshine, and...animals!
Thank you for reading all this. See you soon. Contact me if you'd like. You can go back to the home page of this blog and there's a form to email me.
