Second of all - I, too, am using the 5minute journal (on my second one now) and think it's The Best - not only is it motivating, but also, it reduces to art of journaling down to a simple 5 minutes and I find myself jotting down lots of other cool and memorable moments from each day in the margins! gret mackintoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530051023445893544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872712733955065437.post-89579578461094719472016-08-03T14:30:10.414-05:002016-08-03T14:30:10.414-05:00Hi Carol!

Either way it is very enticing and will attract new and existing visitors immediately to the site. Looks great. Also, be careful with your neck. That type of injury can be tricky. Be sure you are fully healed before you start working out again. Good luck with the new site.<br /><br /><a href="http://luciuscambell.blogspot.com/2016/05/sanitation-challenge-for-ghana-just-one.html" rel="nofollow">Lucius Cambell @ Skild, Inc.</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381970280198036470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872712733955065437.post-29175639370765579322016-06-20T08:46:31.307-05:002016-06-20T08:46:31.307-05:00Excited to see what it looks like.

What an amazing show and what an amazing writeup!! I thought your "pool paintings" were meant to be hung by the pool.... hahaha, now I know the name is in their making. :) Anyway, really great to get an update and I have to say woman, "well done!!!!" Love to see what is coming next in your something new category. Also nice to meet Karina... after seeing her comment on Instagram, the little bit that I see/follow it. Your works complement each other's so well! Thanks for the peaceful beach break and reporting from Rosemary Beach (which I'd never heard of). I live on the beach in northern Baja California now, but our beach is not as tranquil and aqua green. How did you connect with Sea Contemporary Gallery is I may ask? Thanks again for a great post... cheers and ciao!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455543588698998656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872712733955065437.post-61797342366226604842016-04-04T23:27:06.739-05:002016-04-04T23:27:06.739-05:00This photo is so good!!!!

Its such a strange sensation to have the most magical, wonderful thing in my life be also the more tiring.

That way, I won't miss one. Back to your post. I have no answers, only a little perspective. You are in the completely immersive part of parenting. It's part of the deal. It's not a loss to your art. It will inform your art and make your work life better. Just not now and not in a way you can see yet. (My knitting designs grew in part out of making things for my kids.) Being sick sucks, but it is part of toddlerhood. Reach out to your friends. And let them reach out to you when they need help. It's the only way to get through. The time you are spending now is the foundation you are building so that she will come to you when she is in middle school and kids are teasing her or she is in high school and she wants to talk to you about her sexuality. How gratifying that you will be the one she trusts when things get hard for her. It's all worth it. You probably don't realize that you're paving the way with throw up and whining. Also, do you need breakfast cookies? I'm making a double batch this weekend. I deliver.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13816868145468840298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872712733955065437.post-90582668069482531902016-03-04T03:46:43.912-05:002016-03-04T03:46:43.912-05:00ps... what is going to change with instagram?

When I get the comparison blues I stop looking at the other stuff. Instagram, Pinterest, online shopping. Whatever. Start looking at my family and asking myself what I like, just for me. When I'm really good I meditate regularly. Both of these things help me feel at peace and as though there is beauty in the present moment and all around me.<br /><br />I'm sure you are feeling better now.

I was first drawn to your paintings on One Kings Lane, then the light-hearted titles you gave them, and the chatty way explain things on your site. Now reading your thoroughly honest post and journey to this satisfying place of making art and making a living at it, I'm hooked! No wonder your work is attracting viewers and buyers, you are sharing everything in such a real way. So compelling. I'm inspired and have more hope to get through my own FUNK right now. The depressing parts of today are fuel for tomorrow.
