On Being Authentic

So, as previously mentioned, I am taking this most fabulous e-course from Kelly Rae Roberts and it has me delving into and peeling apart some of my layers. Being authentic is a really important action. I thought, " I am authentic, I am totally authentic, Right" hmmmm...
I go to look up the definition and this is what I find:

: not false or imitation : real, actual

: true to one's own personality, spirit, or character 

Ok, once again I assure myself that I am totally authentic. Here comes the funny part. I run into my neighbor later that day and we are talking about reading books. I say that I love books as well but I listen to them so that I can clean that house and do laundry while I am listening to my books.

WHAT!!! I had to laugh later because I don't clean while listening to books! Hell no! I listen to my book while I make art! I cut, paint, glue and glitter while the dishes sit in purgatory in the sink!  Did I want her to think that I was a good mom and great homemaker with a totally clean house? Does she really care? Totally not authentic!!!

I sometimes wait to do dishes until the next day, I walk over socks for days to see if anybody else will pick them up I once even wore dirty jeans that has underwear stuck in the leg that I didn't realize until I was in the middle of Walmart! I vacuum and dust around objects. I shove toys under my kids beds just so it looks cleaner- and I make art and I am happy! This is authentically me! My whole family is silly and stinkin' happy!

My husband and I being silly

My daughters being silly!

Dear Universe, I didn't mean to send you mixed signals!

Today was the first day of a an amazing e-course I decided to take.


Kelly Rae has proposed some interesting questions and ideas that have really made me think. I have known for a long time that I want to be the owner of my own business, that has always been a given in my mind. It has only been over the past year or so that I have decided that it will be a creative business- making money from my art. This is my passion.
However, I don't think I have been very clear to the Universe as to what it is EXACTLY,that I want and what I am striving to create. The Universe is willing to give you what you want if you are clear and put the energy behind it. I think that I have been, well, WISHY WASHY! ( That is a technical term you know!!)Time to get serious and concrete on paper and in my head and heart and send it out!
Watch out for it Universe- you have a big ole' message comin' from me!!!

Photo Friday- Florida Hurricane Season

Hurricane Season starts June 1st and we desperately need the rain but Mother Nature- can you please keep the Hurricanes down to a minimum? This season does give me an awesome opportunity to take pictures of some pretty fabulous skies.(One of my favorite things to photograph!)
Here are the first stormy sky photos of the season!

That Would Taste Good on a Stick

A little while back my husband and I went around to check out some VPK programs (Voluntary pre- kindergarten) for our daughter Willow. We finally decided on one that just had a nice feel to the classroom. Let me tell you that we have a family that has a rather odd sense of humor I suppose and we love to joke around with each other all the time. When the teacher was giving us a tour she showed us the little Hermit Crab tank. The class pet.
Willow looked at the Hermit Crab and enthusiastically said, "That would taste good on a stick!!!"
Oh boy!

Until next time-

Glitter or not to Glitter- That is the Question My Friends...

This morning I was looking at all the glitter I have in my art studio. Who doesn't love glitter, right? It's like sunshine, magic and rainbows all in one place. Then I thought, what a shame that I never really use this glitter. Why? Well, too much glitter is tacky, right? Who made up that rule. Who decided that too many shiny, glittery things is tacky? Then when you turn like 70, it is all of the sudden cool again to put as many shiny glittery things on your sweaters! I just don't get it??!!

So, in the honor of glitter I think I will have to make a picture on a canvas comprised of nothing but shiny glittery things!!!!

Here's to glitter!!!!

Photo Friday

I have always loved taking pictures. I remember when got my first camera when I was about 10 or 11. It was a polaroid instant. You know the kind, where you take a picture and get instant gratification when that picture spits out of the camera and you wait for the picture to magically appear as it dries. I used to take pictures of my cabbage patch dolls and my brothers. I just loved it.
Before I had children I loved to take pictures of nature. Ride my bike to the beach stopping along the way for cool rocks or trees. Now that I have kids most of my photographs are of my children- but taking pictures of nature is still my favorite!

That being said- I am making Fridays- "Photo Friday"
Here are some of my pics to kick it off!!!!!

Appreciate all the beauty around you!!! Until next time-
