Happy Tuesday! I am working hard to muster positive energy as recently got a lot going on financially and it is stressful. As most of you know my dad passed in July and had nothing to help with his end of life needs, so it wiped out my savings a long with I had to get a loan to pay part of the cremation. Now my car needs major work ($1100.00 worth), and it is hard when so much stuff hits you at once. I cannot really complain though as it could be a lot worse and I am blessed with a good job and will make it, I know. But it sucks regardless on how life can be so expensive sometimes, and let me not get on a soap box about costs going up, but wages not.
SO we shall change over to better things.
I am really trying to push through my energy to hit PUBLISH on my new website, there are so many things that I want it to be, that it is not yet. But I need to get it out there and make it work. Especially since I have been paying for hosting for almost a year now and it is hiding from everyone.
I also need to revamp my FB page (not my personal one), not sure I will keep it or not honestly, but it needs an update and some love if I do plan to keep it.
It is a lot to maintain when you have a demanding corporate 9-5'er, and I have definitely not been doing well on that end. I commend those who are able to make that work for them right now. It takes a lot of work, plus your YT videos and Patreon pages if you have them. Another avenues I have been thinking on, but how when I cannot even upkeep other stuff. I do not plan to keep Etsy going since they have upped their fees and my website will have a store option, that is way better for me, all in once place.
Anyway, quick update, happy Tuesday!
Have a blessed week, if you stopped by please say hi! :)

Welcome 2018!
Sending everyone many blessings in 2018!!
I know many people had a rough 2017, I had some tough times too. We all hope 2018 brings better stuff than 2017 did. However, let us remember our focus, intentions, choices and reactions have a HUGE impact on what happens to us as well!
This year I am really trying to focus my intention in the AM to really get my day out to a loving start. I am ALWAYS up about 10 minutes past the time I should have gotten up, so rushed and late for work. Which honestly, I have accepted, mostly. I really am a night owl, it is the way it is and not a person who loves to be woken up. I woke nights and overnights for years, I love it and am so alive at night. But now I am a 9am-6pmer, which is OK I can sleep in super late, but does it really work?
So HOW do you manage to have a focused intention building morning when you are that person?! I have tried many things, but my will power for it just sucks you guys. I may revisit the Miracle Morning process, but shoot I can write it all down and say I will do it and give myself all these speeches. But then the AM comes and I am like NOPE NOT TODAY.
Any friendly advice welcome, and in the end, maybe I just have not figured out the right motivator for me, or I just am not getting enough sleep at night.
I mean I used to work 530 am until way too many hours into the night, and it burnt me out. But I don't do that anymore, so I cannot use that as an excuse and if I can get up and be at this job for someone else at 530 and work until 7 at night 5 days a week, IF I DID THAT, why the hell can I not do it for my self????

Day Two
DAY TWO just got posted to YouTube!
It did not go as planned and I am still looking for the right camera angle I can work with and make happen. This was not it, so I learned that lesson!
I did not like the crayon I used, I am not sure if it is because it was cheap or if I just needed to be more aggressive with it and use more pressure.
It is all a process and the more I paint, the more I have and the more I learn, so that is what it is all about!

What is to come in 2014, at least in January anyway...
So I have made a huge goal for myself for January! 31 days of backgrounds. I really wanted to do something more awesome like a book a day, haha yeh right. School work, and the probability of me needing to pick up my PRN weekend night job because my husband lost his in December, left me really thinking on what could I FEASIBLE DO!
I have been following Kiala Givehand's year journey on YouTube of 52 books-Book in a Day, you can find her channel HERE. That is really where my heart is, making books, and there are many she shared that I hope to make in the new year. But I knew that was not feasible for me, YET. I still wanted to do something creative, as well as share it, inspire, and build my skills up. Heck, as well as use up all that stuff I hoard!
SO keep an eye out, I will posting Day One's video on January 1st!
