Feeling Refreshed

8/1/2018

Since my last post, I've definitely felt an uptick in motivation. 

First, from all the kind and encouraging words people have said in response. Thanks.  It sincerely means a lot.  Verbal (and written) encouragement does wonders for my motivation, for better and for worse.

Second, I just got back from a super sweet, relaxing, and fun beach trip.  I got to spend quality time with some of my favorite people at a lovely place--how could I not come back refreshed? (Well, traveling home with delayed flights and a toddler was not particularly refreshing, but we've recovered from that part of the trip now and are enjoying the memories of the good parts.)

Here are some snapshots.

I think the reality is that even if I get super successful and start making gobs of money with my art, there will always be an ebb and flow with how I feel about it.  That's just the nature of creating.  Putting pieces of myself out there. 
Here's a piece, for instance.

I just added that Bison to my Redbubbble shop.

I've also been neglecting my Etsy shop lately and have some plans to revamp it a bit. 

Stay tuned!

Also, it is now my birthday month! I will be celebrating all month, thank you.
