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.

My heart and prayers go out to Ukraine. I am praying for the people of Ukraine. My heart and mind stresses over the war that's happening. 

It's been a rough two years. covid, loosing my father and breast cancer...so much going on. 
I'm praying.

Day 2-4 The 100 Day Project

Hello! It's been a crazy week so far. I got a very bad migraine this week. But I got some sleep and rested. I also had my heart eco. I find out the results on Friday. On day 2 of the 100 Day Project I created this landscape with Gouache paint. 

On day 3 I created this abstract piece with sharpie markers. 

It has been a crazy day 4! My etsy shop got hacked so I won't be using Etsy to sell my artwork. I will have to figure something else out. They still haven't helped me get back into my account. I just want to delete it.  A very stressful day but then my speedball kit came in the mail and I had a little fun making prints. I bought the kit from Amazon. 

It's not perfect but I love it. I enjoyed the experience of trying something new. Super fun and I would totally make another one. Thank you for reading my blog post today. I hope you are having a fantastic week. 

DAY 1 The 100 Day Project

 

Happy Sunday! Are you watching the Super Bowl today? Who would you like to see win?  Los Angeles Rams or Cincinnati Bengals? I want Cincinnati to win. They are both good teams but I would like Cincinnati to win. Also who's excited for half time? I am! :) 

 I had a hard time starting #the100dayproject today but once I got started It went well.  My cat Z.iggy enjoys sitting on my desk and tries to attack my paint brush. lol  

I've been using this Art Journal to write my journey. This is absolutely lovely journal with artwork and inspirational quotes by Flora Bowley. I bought this from indigo on sale. I'm so happy I did. 

I painted a landscape today with watercolours, acrylic paint and watercolour crayons. 

Watercolour rose. Roses are so challenging. I would like to make more roses.
