March Showers By Maria Medeiros









 March Showers

March showers 

Melting snow

Branches dancing rhythmically too and fro to the wind

Down below there are puddles

 I jump in splashing around

My happy feet are all wet now

Grey skies

My colourful eyes reach up to the sky and feel the droplets glide on my face and lips 

Making my frown right side up again.

Paint Party Friday!


Hello and Happy March!
Joining in with 



I'm also participating with #The100DayProject on Instagram. 

I am super excited for spring are you?

Loving this song this week:


I've been knitting a new piece, reading a little and trying to get over my reading block. I also started writing more poetry and I am working on a children's book.  
Check out my poetry book if you like. 

I kindly received a lovely gift from my wonderful friend Julie. 







Two days ago I did my treatment and now I have three more left to do. I had a really hard day yesterday but I am feeling better today. I've been really enjoying making artwork everyday. It's been so relaxing and fun. I put on my music and light my candle and have fun. 

Please email me if you would like to Trade Artist Cards!

Here are some pieces that I've created this week:







Have a beautiful weekend my friends! 
Be kind to your self. Be Gentle on your soul.
Lots of kindness and love.

Happy March! Organizing My Mind, Refreshing The Body And Lifting The Spirit!





Happy March! 

I'm going to be honest and say I've been on a downward mood. 

Winter blues? Not sure but I've made a vision board to help me get out of this slump!

I am working on getting out of this blah feeling and uplifting my body, mind and spirit. 

I'm starting with self care rituals and routines. I feel that routines really help keep me on track. 

I need more love toward my self and positive talk. Mantras really help. I am placing positive words

 around my art space to keep the positive energy going. 

Skincare, bathing in essential oils and essential oils in the air really calms and soothes the mind and soul. 

Meditation and prayer so important for spiritual healing. 

These two years have been so hard that the ripples and side effects are here and I definitely need to detox in every way.  Healthy detox smoothies are in the works. 

Going to try to start yoga again this month. 

More water, more art and calming music.

Going to try and stay off social media and be more productive.

Vision boards really help me. If you like my vision board help your self with it here. You can also change it and make your own. --> VISION BOARD

I am currently trying to stay creative with the #100DayProject and I hope you follow along on Instagram. 

I would also like to thank everyone who bought my poetry book.

 It's available if you like.

  "TRUTH" by Maria Medeiros

A new month, a new beginning, new creations, new routines and self care and self love. 

I'm trying really hard to change the direction of my mind, body and spirit. 

I have four more treatments to do and I look forward to finishing them up by spring. 

Have a beautiful rest of the week and I will see you on Friday for Paint Party Friday! I can't wait to show you my new artwork and other things that I've been working on. 

Lots of love!

Be kind and gentle to your self.
