Blood Moon

I am ready for the Blood Moon in it's full glory tonight!  To bring with it  a great shift in my life and clear away all toxic people with bad intention and all toxic energy.  

This week in, my work life, it has been the most stressful and emotional week I have experienced in a very long time.  There were problems that I unintentioanlly created myself, and there are problems that have been lingering on, which I have no control over.  It's one of those weeks where I just wanted to stay home and hide under the covers.  Today I was supposed to be driving over 250 miles but, in it's own good way it ended up that I didn't have to.  I did my laundry instead.

The way I got through this week was by repeating to myself, tomorrow is a new day. I also was trying to keep myself together by thinking about all the fucked up shit that's going on in the world, and all of those innocent lives losts, which make what I'm stressing over pretty petty....  It's just that I'm in my own world worrying what's going on in my daily life.

I created a mosaic a while back which seems perfect for today.

I am blessed and gratefull for my family, health, fur babies, friends and all that I have.

Sunday Morning Vibes

I wanted to follow BamBam's Sunday morning vibes but..........

I had to get some work done on the computer that I've been piecemealing since Thursday, and debated with myself if I should wait until Monday to complete it.  I decided to buckle down and spent  my day working until I finished. I am really glad that I did because I'm not sure how my day is going to go on Monday considering I have meetings all morning.  Samantha kept me company making sure I was working while I gave her some chin rubs between files!

I was home alone with my fur babies this weekend while my hubby went fishing with his buddies on the gulf coast.  His trip was successful, and he was very happy bringing home some red snapper and trout. They also picked up shrimp directly off the shrimpboat. A lot of shrimp!  The buddies split the weight of the shrimp and took the heads off before bringing it home.  (I wish they would have shelled and deviened them too). We split up the shrimp up with 2 -3 pounds in each bag to freeze.  I left out one bag for tonights dinner.

Manifesting

What you manifest is what you get.....

 Years ago I would always think, I'm so bored I might as well just work.  Well, for the last 6 years work has turned into my like.  I stopped blogging, creating, and doing things that I like doing. I pretty much just work.  I like my work, but when people say you work to live, not live for work it is true.   We are all repalceable at work, and I dont want my end of life regret be that all I did was work...

When I went to NYC in late September I realized how much I truly missed the city.  Walking everywhere, the subway, the local stores and restaurants.  I really didn't want to come home. I wish I could pick my home up and plop ot down somwhere in Queens or Brooklyn.  I saw the real estate prices and since I didnt win the lottery, well here I sit in Texas.

This was the elementary schoo at sunsetl behind the apartment I rented for a week.  It was really nice waking up to of the sound of kids laughing and playing.

Since the real  estate market has shifted,  I have a little more time that I carved out for myself, I refelcted back on all my sketch books.  I did create most of the artwork I wanted to create.  Some are just sketches that have yet to come to life and other series have never been completed.  At heart I am an artist.  I just dont want my art to turn into a job, I create to escape, and enjoy the time I'm on this earth.

I will think, pray and find my new way and manifest the life I want. 

Finally took the time to finish Little Mr. Grey in a cup.  5 1/2" x 5 1/2"  

Socrates Sculpture Garden, Astoria Queens NYC

 It has been an entire year sine I blogged! I used to love blogging and reading blogs, I’m not sure what happened. Well I actually do know. I manifested my way into making my job,, my life,  especially when it gets busy. I always would say, If I ‘m bored and not motivated to do anything I might as well be working…… 

Now I want to manifest something better for myself and let you know some interesting things that have happened. 

I just came back last week from a trip to New York. My daughter Ashley and her friend Ndivhuho teamed up, applied, and were 1 of 5 applicants (out of hundreds) that were chosen to create sculptures in the Socrates Sculpture Garden in Astoria, NY! They worked hard all summer and the grand opening was on September 30th!

My husband and I met up with out 2 sons and Ashley’s best friend Natalie and we all went up for the opening! It was such a great event. I was very proud of my daughter and Ndivhuho for creating the beautiful sculptures. My daughter’s boyfriend Drew also stepped in to help them when they needed an extra hand.  Drew’s parent came in from New Jersey for the opening,  so we we finally got to meet them., They were very kind, lovely people. I had easy conversations with his mom, like we were old friends catching up.  I really enjoyed my time with her. 

We were in NY for a week. Some people would ask of we  seen a broadway show, or any of the tourists sites. No, if it’s one thing I learned living in NYC years ago, is that they have the BEST food! We ate our way through the city! I enjoyed every restaurant we went to, and since we stayed in Astoria ( Little Greece) we ate a ton of Greek food! The Greek seafood restaurants are the best in Astoria! Authentic Thai food in Manhattan, NY Pizza for lunch and Bagels every day for breakfast!!!!  By the way the bakery’s are so WONDERFUL!  Also, I can drink the tap water! With all the walking we did, I didn’t care what I ate and enjoyed every morsel!
