Women of Taste Part 2
Day 62/366 days of writing in 2024. Yesterday, I spilled the beans about a drawing I whipped up back in my design class days at the ripe old age of 23. That was just the appetizer to a three-course meal of articles I'm serving up about my latest 3D art series, which features drawings from various stages of my life. If you missed the first course, catch up here.

Women of Taste Part 1
Day 61/366 days of writing in 2024 When I was 23 years old, I created this artwork during my design class in college. Nine years later, the original piece was sold, and I decided to recreate it. The replicated version you see here is the result.

The Dubstep Nightmare
Yesterday, as I lounged in my bathtub like a true queen, basking in the glory of my recent art show success, I couldn't help but reflect on the piece that I had wanted to sell the most and it did! It was a stroke of genius, a painting inspired by my intense hatred for a certain type of wine. New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. I wrote an article about that piece and you can read it here. The person who bought it, totally got it. As I sat in my tub, I thought about how I love to write about things I hate.

Happy Leap Year!
Day 58/366 days of writing in 2024. As we reach the end of February, it's crazy to think about how quickly time passes by. This month has been a whirlwind of activity for me, with so many exciting opportunities and challenges coming my way. From preparing for my art show to taking on new responsibilities at work, I've been juggling multiple tasks and commitments, leaving me feeling both exhilarated and exhausted. Today, I pause.

Love Unleashed: Orchestrating the Symphony of Self-Love
I love being a 48 year old empowered woman. It has always been me, and in my forties, I have had a profound realization that love has always resided within myself. In my younger years, I mistook unrequited love for the true essence of love. Those years were about pain and heartbreak and insecurity. I wrote about that here. As I entered my thirties, I found myself in a long-term relationship that was good, but not quite right. Better doesn’t mean it’s IT! However, something shifted between the ages of 38 and 48, and it ignited a fire within me.

Aching Heart
I used to be the Queen of unrequited love. And by that I mean on the receiving end of unrequited love. It was from years of low self-esteem, a warped idea of what love actually is, and the thought that somehow love was supposed to be tied to pain. All of my teenage and early years in my twenties were the same story with different men being played on repeat. And most of the time what it reminds me of looking back now, is how William was so in love with Penny Lane in the movie almost famous while she just treated him like a little brother.

Eternal Gaze
I still think about that moment on the jungle gym with him almost 40 years later. Deep within the recesses of my mind, there exists a moment that continues to resurface, a memory that holds a special place in my heart. It was a fleeting encounter, one of those instances that I find myself revisiting every now and then, even after all these years. It may seem obscure to some, but its depth and significance remain etched in my soul.

From Lime To Legend
Day 52/366 days of writing pieces in 2024. Yesterday was National Margarita Day, a day to celebrate the zesty, tangy, and oh-so-refreshing concoction that we all love. When I had a much-needed break between clients, my colleague and I decided to escape to grab a delectable lunch paired with a tantalizing margarita. As we sat at the bar, sipping on our liquid sunshine, it triggered a hilarious flashback to my youthful days as a fledgling bartender.

I Don’t Feel Like Writing Today
Day 51/366 days of writing pieces in 2024. When I was going through my life coaching certification in 2019, the CEO of our company had us do writing exercises to get in touch with our feelings. She stressed how much power there was in writing exactly what we were thinking and feeling. Even if the exercise led to things like “this is a dumb exercise” or “I don’t want to write” or “I don’t know what to write about” And so today I found myself remembering that and I allowed myself to write exactly that. Because the truth today is “I don’t feel like writing today” I’m consumed with getting ready for my art show this weekend that I wrote about yesterday (read here) and I want all my brain power for that. Yet allowing myself to follow the prompt I gave myself below let me get a decent piece out. Lesson: write how you feel. Don’t hold back.
