God will make you uncomfortable.

he will make you so uncomfortable that you are forced to move

and in the moments that even that doesn’t work,

he will sometimes remove what it is that is holding you back from discovering your full potential

don’t fight it

be still and recognize that each moment is 

carrying you toward your greatness

flow with life

reflect often

witness how far your journey has taken you thus far

and enjoy the ride

the slave trade in Libya is both heartbreaking and disgusting

it's been a while

...

I feel like I write that here too often

have to fix that.

 

I've been working

hard.

 

graphic design has stolen me away from painting.

not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing

but right now it feels good.

 

this also means I will have tons of prints available at my next show Nov 15th (and available on the site)

 

is above and beyond too much to ask for?

 

currently

who can I run to x Xscape

A Few Highlights From My (Most Recent) Trip To LA..

 

Inspire the TRIBE



Oprah's Super Soul Conversations

I've come to realize that I am a bit of a podcast snob.
I'm very happy with my line up and have come to notice that I don't have the patience for a podcast that doesn't capture my attention in the first hour... however (!) I have added a new addition to my weekly lineup and I couldn't be happier. Oprah's Super Soul Conversations podcast is exactly the breath of fresh air that I need in my life right now.

If you're looking for something enlightening, inspiring to listen to, give this podcast a try. I started with "Pastor A.R. Bernard: Four Things Women Want from a Man."

Almost Hoodie Season



Freudian x Daniel Caesar

this, in it's entirety.

 

omg omg



A Shift Is Coming.

A shift is coming.

 

I feel it stronger than ever. I am at a crossroads in my life and there is so much power in this moment. Have you ever noticed when driving to a destination that you've been to hundreds of times that you revert to an almost cruise control state... you don't even think of the turns or the merges because you've taken the trip so many times before?

They say that in order to keep your brain alert you should try to learn different routes to the same destination... to get out of this habit of not thinking and just going through the motions.

 

I want to see new sights. to challenge myself to learn new ways. to meet new people and discover new places along the way.

 

I'm not afraid of the unknown, rather intrigued by it.

 

I welcome it.

With all of the leaps that I've made this year, I am ready for more "forward."



( SIDE NOTE: Catch me at Blind Whino this weekend for 808's and Crabcakes! )

Artist Yaoyao Ma Van As Beautifully Captures the Essence of Living Alone

I love these. The beauty that Yaoyao Ma Van As captures in her work is refreshingly relatable - all the way down to her little dog, Parker, that appears in many of her drawings. I chose a few that rang true for me, but you can check out the rest here. 

Musings: 8/14/17

excited about: planning my housewarming :)
