The 100 Day Project

Life’s been a roller coaster lately and I have struggled with finding motivation and the drive to do anything. Last summer I was diagnosed with long-term depression, anxiety and PTSD. I had always had my doubts but never really got diagnosed until now. I guess I am glad to finally be getting the help IContinueContinue reading “The 100 Day Project”

2018: A New Year Indeed

I have been away from the Zentangle world for months now. I felt drained, like all my creativity had been sucked out of me. I had no inspiration or motivation left. After my last blog post, Linda suggested in a comment that I take the time to do something else…to recharge (a big thanks toContinueContinue reading “2018: A New Year Indeed”

Am I ready…

…to come back from my long hiatus? I seem to have lost the motivation to put pen to paper. It’s been over a month and I want to draw but at the same time, I don’t want to draw. I don’t know what has changed. But hopefully I’ll break out of this state of mindContinueContinue reading “Am I ready…”

A Tile a Day Keeps Insanity Away

There are good days and then there are days I’m not so thrilled about. On my good days, everything is great. I have slept through the night and I am full of energy. I get things done like a pro. But on those other days…the ones I’m not super thrilled about, I just want toContinueContinue reading “A Tile a Day Keeps Insanity Away”

Done and Dusted

I am now officially a Certified Zentangle Teacher and I am so thrilled about it, I can barely contain myself. As always, I owe this to the love of my life, the yang to my yin… To be brutally honest, before I signed up for the seminar, I was not the least bit sure aboutContinueContinue reading “Done and Dusted”

AWOL

I have been gone a while and it is because of this little fluff ball that I’ve let into my life. A pocket sized tornado that I simply can’t resist. Now I catch myself smiling for no reason at all. I don’t sigh as much as I used to either. I know I’ve missed outContinueContinue reading “AWOL”

Flux

I recently started reading ‘Mindset’ and I have, much to my delight, discovered that when it comes to art, I have a “growth mindset”. It means that I’m super critical of my work, am willing to push my boundaries and believe that with practice I can get infinitely better. Now, I am fairly new toContinueContinue reading “Flux”

Catching Up…

I have been gone 3 years and I admit, I’d very nearly forgotten that this space existed. Anyway, I happened to stumble upon it today and thought I should get back to it. So here I am. Skimming through my previous posts from 3 years ago, I learned that I was about to embark onContinueContinue reading “Catching Up… “

Who am I?

I am a woman who thinks and feels like a teenager and to be quite honest, that’s a bit of a tragedy. Not so much for me as for my husband and 4 year old daughter. 10 years past the line and I am still not willing to grow up. And though I feel sorry for myContinueContinue reading “Who am I?”
