<br />
When I started this blog approximately 7 years ago, I would have never imagined that I would still be posting. It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride. I would write consistently and then I wouldn't. I would be pretty transparent, and then I felt like I couldn't be. Sometimes I wrote more than I posted pictures, and sometimes it was the other way around. And now I am at this juncture in the road.<br />
<br />
A few months ago I posted about whether I should combine my two blog sites together. At that time I made the decision to keep both of them, with this site focusing on my business, and the other site focusing on my journey as an artist.<br />
<br />
Well after praying, I have stopped running from the thing that I have been most afraid of....focusing on my mixed medium work with a heavy emphasis on painting. I will finally apply to some residencies, start looking for supplemental income opportunities, start working on another individual show, and continue a huge project that I started long ago.<br />
<br />
What does that mean for Exo31 Art, LLC? It will no longer be what you all have come to know it as. I will still create wearable art, but no longer be selling it how I have in the past. I may do some craft markets once or twice a year, but I won't stress myself if I don't get to it. It's another sweet surrender, but let's face it, my ROI (return on investment) was improving since I started years ago, but wasn't great, and more than anything...I really want to be obedient.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to stop blogging. It's become not only cathartic, but almost necessary for my journey. At this stage I just need to change a few things around. Although I will not be posting here anymore, I will still be posting about my journey as an artist over at<br />

<br />
I will have a strict Monday, Wednesday, and Friday posting schedule for those that are looking to read a little more often. I will be posting a nice combination of photos, prose, and elements of this blog as well.<br />
<br />
There you have it folks...forward motion is happening, despite its moments of making me feel uncomfortable. Hello Change! You are here for the better and I let my guard down to let you in. I welcome you with open arms!<br />

I spent an immense amount of time last night and the early part of today listing items that you all can purchase. I thought that it would be easier than what it actually was, but it was pretty tedious. </div>

I definitely don't have everything listed there yet. I will be adding new items almost ever day for the month of November. After that, I will be updating the ship with new items every other Tuesday. I will make sure to let you all know the days that I will be uploading new wearable art that can be purchased. </div>

Hey good folks!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is the day! Yes...the day I open my Etsy shop I am ex.cited, but knowing that there is so much work to be done so that this go round things will be a success.<br />
<br />
Today was spent getting my listings together. It is more tedious than I remember in the past, but again...it's okay. I must do what I need to do!<br />
<br />
So tomorrow will come too quickly I am sure, and I will probably feel like I am not ready enough, but who ever cared about what feelings had to say? Not me! If I did, I would never get anything accomplished!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><i><u>Your Thoughts:</u></i></span></b><br />
<b>Have your feelings ever talked you out of doing something great...something you knew you were destined to do?</b><br />
<br />

It's been about a month that I have posted here. And in the last post I was thinking about how I could combine both of my blogs. Well...I've decided to keep the 2 separate. I've decided that some want to read and some don't. Some want to see pictures of my work and buy, and some want to know about my journey. The 2 blogs will work in conjunction with each other, but cater to different audiences.<br />
<br />
The good news...I will still be selling items!<br />

<div>
The last time I posted I only a few days before my art show. The art show was a success. My screen earrings and unisex bracelets were a hit, I managed to sell a painting, and get a few commissions. All in all, the networking opportunities were priceless. I got the chance to meet tons of people who were sincerely interested in the arts, and more specifically...my artwork!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the last post I mentioned that I was doing a good job at keeping up with both of my blog sites. Well...the time lapse doesn't lie. It has been a bit more difficult than I previously thought that it would be. Now I am looking into rolling both sites into one. I originally wanted to keep them separate since I am selling on this one, and really talking about my journey on the other. However, I am about to get my website together. That way everything will be in more of a central place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><i>On The Work Desk:</i></span></b></div>
<div>
Since the show, I have been busy continuing to form relationships with fellow artists and those that love art. I have been creating stretchers from scratch and coming up with new concepts for jewelry.<br />

<b><i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Thought For The Day:</span></i></b><br />
I've been maintaining two blogs for almost a month now. I wasn't sure if I could do it, but I have been doing a pretty good job at keeping up. Now I have been posting more in the <a href="http://oneartsygalsvoyage.blogspot.com/">One Artsy Gals Voyage</a> spot because I have been preparing for my upcoming show.<br />
<br />
I have been struggling, and wondering if I actually needed to keep both blogs going. I mean, I have had this one for years in order to get what I do out there. Somewhere along the lines it changed into a place where I could show and sell more of my jewelry. I like the direction that it has taken, but still wonder how reader friendly it is.<br />
<br />
Just a thought, and no...this blog is not going anywhere. Every once in a while I believe that we have to evaluate what it is that we are doing. That is exactly what this post is about...evaluating a few things. I will blog here until I feel led not to. I don't foresee that happening any time soon!<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">On My Work Desk:</span></i></b><br />
Well of course I am preparing for my art showing. It is a very busy season, but an exciting season. I had a hard time deciding whether or not I was going to sell my jewelry at the art show. I've decided that I will have a few of my jewelry pieces there to see also.<br />
<br />
I hope to see you all on Saturday, August 10th at the Factory in Collingswood, NJ. I will be showing with other artists from 6pm to 10pm. Looking forward to it!<br />

<b><i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Thoughts For The Day:</span></i></b><br />
Things have been super crazy these days. I recently pulled up the carpet in my room, and did a bit of aesthetic revamping. It was hard work, my arm was pulled a little, but I more than like the end results. I would dare to say that I love the end results. Shhh...don't tell my mother!<br />
<br />
In the midst of all that has been going on, time has been my best friend, and my worst enemy. I've been searching for ways to make time work for me. I want time to be my right hand dude, my sidekick, my jawn (for my urbanites)! I've come to understand that having a to do list helps, but time blocking is necessary too.<br />
<br />
What does time blocking look like? It looks like I take the time to block out each moment of my day for the most part. It doesn't mean that I never deviate from the program, but it does mean that I have a program to deviate from if need be. I'm such a "spur of the moment" type of girl, and this habit that I am working on forming may put a bit of a wrinkle in my style. I've never been one that likes to iron, so I'll take the time to do the work on the front end and plan accordingly.<br />

<b><i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Thought For The Day:</span></i></b><br />
I've been a woman that has worked alone for so long. I've been told by family and friends alike that I am super independent. I almost hate to admit this, but they would be correct. I believe I am independent partly because I had/need to be, and partly because of pride (probably most of the later). It's not something that I am proud of, but definitely true.<br />
<br />
Well I am turning over lots of new leaves, and one is learning how to collaborate. The reality is, I need others to make my life go in all sorts of areas. Now is the time to start exercising the power of banning together with others with similar ideas, passions and purposes to do great things.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned to hear more about collaboration endeavors!<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">On My Work Desk:</span></b></i><br />
Prepping, prepping, and more prepping! I have finished the sunset series, and am now prepping canvases so that I can start on a few other paintings that I have ideas for.<br />
<br />

<div>
I have been thinking about starting another blog for a bit now. This week, I take the plunge and do so. It will be in conjunction with this blog. It will be about my journey as an artist. It will focus more so on my journey as an artist as oppose to my art itself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My hopes and prayers are that it will be inspiring to other artists...young and old alike. I will mention that blog in this blog often, and vice versa.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is a new bracelet. I found the shirt that I am wearing in this picture at a thrift store. I loved the material, but wanted to do something a little different with the shirt. I was inspired by Marisa Lynch's awesome <a href="http://www.newdressaday.com/">New Dress A Day Blog</a>. I cut the sleeves off and bundled some of the fabric together to make this piece. I used some chains from a broken necklace to wrap around the fabric for a little bit of weight. </span><br />

<b><i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Thought For The Day:</span></i></b><br />
I'm a thrift shopper! I love Goodwill, and other thrift stores of the like. I love the thrill of finding an amazing secondhand item that I didn't pay full price for.<br />
<br />
Today I thought about what secondhand really meant. Webster defines it as such: received form or through an intermediary; borrowed; acquired after being used by another; not new.<br />
<br />
I thought about so many other things that we obtain secondhand besides clothing and items purchased at a thrift shop. What about personality traits, characteristics, habits, societal issues, faith, etc.? What about gaining the above mentioned things secondhand is good and/or bad? I mean I know that we are influenced by things on a daily basis. We see, hear, smell, taste, and touch things on a daily basis that allow us to make informed decisions. However, I am not really talking about the things that help to shape who we become. I am more so speaking of those things that are given to us without allowing us to have the option to personally encounter things on our own.<br />
<br />
I'll use faith as an example. I am diving into an interesting read called "You Lost Me; Why Young Christians Are Leaving Church...And Rethinking Faith", by David Kinnaman. The research included within is eye opening. The following quote explains: <i>"Adults identify as Christians typically because they had formative experiences as a child or as a teenager that connected them to Christianity. But that connection is often shallow and on the surface, having more to do with cultural identification than it does with deep faith."</i><br />
<br />
The book is specifically looking at the Christian faith, but we could flip that and look at anything in that light. Are we who we are (good and/or bad) because we have had an experience that makes us that way on our own or are we who we are because we have learned that particular behavior from others?<br />
<br />
I know that this is impossible, but I wonder what a child who has had no outside influence of others would become. They would be birthed by parents, but the parents would not be around, nor would their parents DNA be a factor. They would be born in a world with the essentials (food & shelter). There would be no animals to take the child on as their own, and as they grew they would have the innate ability to care for themselves.<br />
<br />
The scenario is so hypothetical, and I will never get the answer, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about it. Out of the box, random, and odd I know...but a thought nonetheless!<br />
<br />

I've started the fourth and final piece in the sunset series. It doesn't look like much at the moment, but it is shaping up quite nicely. I am a bit farther along than what is depicted here. My progress will be posted soon!<br />

<b><i><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Thought For The Day:</span></i></b><br />
The past few days have been a little rough in terms of work. There have been lots of excuses..."It's raining outside!", "It's sunny outside!", "I had a busy week last week, therefore I deserve a few relaxing days!"...on and on and on!<br />
<br />
The reality is, I have been procrastinating something terrible. Those excuses were overtaking me and allowing me to get much of nothing done. I have been feeling super lazy, which is a huge problem. When this type of procrastination happens, it is harder than usual to bounce back.<br />
<br />
Several months ago, I started to make to-do lists on a daily basis. It was working great for me. And then...I stopped. I stopped at the time because I thought that I could keep everything stored, compartmentalized, and prioritized in this brain of mine. It worked for a few days when I was fresh off of working with lists, inspired by my progress and still accomplishing what I needed to without one. However, when those things dwindled I was left with the dreaded P word.<br />
<br />
I hate procrastination! I hate it with a passion! It would be the constant thorn in my flesh and perhaps a permanent resident if I allowed it to be. The good thing is I recognize procrastination for what it is, and too slick to remain in it's grasp.<br />
<br />
I realize I must go back to my daily to-do lists. I am most productive when I do. There are no excuses from here on out!<br />

<b><i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Thought For The Day:</span></i></b><br />
<div>
I have to be honest and say that listening in the past was not one of my strong suits. In a casual conversation it would appear that I was listening (there was always silence and an intense stare in the eyes), but in my mind I was formulating a response to a conversation that I couldn't possible know about because...you got it right...I WASN'T REALLY LISTENING! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, I've come a long way and have learned to silence the racket that tries to take over in my mind while having conversations with others. It's amazing the things that you will learn if you just take the time to listen. I've learned a lot about myself, and a lot about the one I am engaging in conversation with. My interactions then become a little more sincere as my heart lends itself to the cares of others. It's pretty powerful to say the least!<br />

<b><i><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Thought For The Day:</span></i></b><br />
<div>
About two weeks ago I created what is called an info-doodle for my business and my life that contains vision and mission statements for both. I have come up with both before, but not quite like this. This go round I had the help of an awesome business group that I am so honored to be a part of. There were some edits, but I finally came up with four solid statements (two mission & two vision). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I received some very kind words attached to this blog via an email. Come to find out my blog has been encouraging to her. It was at that point that my life mission statement came alive to me: Tene' is an integral renaissance woman committed to sharing her God given talents with the world as a vehicle to encourage people to seek a greater relationship with God.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It hit me smack in the face. If I was writing, sharing, blogging...creating to encourage only one person (even if that one person happens to be little ole' me) then it is all worth it. I will write on, share on, blog on, paint on, draw on...you get the hint! I won't stop! The one is depending on me...and according to my mission statement, I am well equipped to deliver!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
P.S...for as much as these writings may encourage you all, I am far more encouraged when I receive kind words from readers. It really does ignite a continued pursuit to be aligned with my mission and vision, which is all tied to my purpose!!!</div>

<b style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large; font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"><i>Thought For The Day:</i></span></b></div>
These days with social media being the "it" thing, everyone is following someone. If it's not on Facebook, it's Twitter. If it's not on Instagram, it's Flickr. If it's not on LinkedIn it's Foursquare. Oh and who could forget this lovely site and it's rival Wordpress. My point is...if it's not one social media site, it's another. And there is someone out there for everyone to follow on these platforms.<br />
<br />
So, I am on almost all of the sites that I posted above, with the exception of a few. A friend of mine said to me the other day, "Oh...you have xxx amount of followers". It sparked a question inside of me and made me wonder, why I follow the folks that I follow. I came up with this short, but not exhausted list:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">They have something great to share:</span></b><br />
I'm always on the hunt for someone who has something great to share. That something great could be encouraging words, a product, something funny, or something that is just aesthetically pleasing to the eye. After all, who doesn't like a pretty picture. It doesn't have to be something super deep, but sometimes it is. It's just something that I deem to be great.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">They are going in the same direction as I am:</span></b><br />
There are lots of people that are going in the same direction as I am. I like to keep up with them. I like to know how they are doing the things that they are doing. I like to see their progress. I like to be inspired by their progress, and cheer them on all at the same time. It keeps me in the mind frame of constantly pressing forward...constantly going after what I know in my heart I am here on this planet for.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">They are good for networking:</span></b><br />
I have a business, and I want my business to be successful. I want it to thrive. I want it to become all that it has the potential to be and more. So I follow those that can get me to that place. They are more than my peers. They serve more as mentors...seasoned in the game that I am just becoming a part of. It's humbling and exciting all at the same time. I get to hear about and see their story, and become inspired to have a great story of my own.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">They are family and friends:</span></b><br />
Now this can get a little sticky if family and friends don't fall into the categories mentioned above. Everyone (including myself) has someone they follow because they decided to follow you. I'm not saying that this is a great idea, but I am saying that it exists.<br />
<br />
At the end of the day, those that I follow brighten my day in one way or the other. I only pray that I can offer the same to those that follow me.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well...life as I know it took over for a while. I have had some things to tend to, which explains the lack of posting. I won't even bore you with the details, but I will say that in the past month and a half I have experienced a range of emotions from super blessed to extremely frustrated, and everything in between. My family and friends have been so instrumental in helping me to keep my head above water. I really couldn't thank them enough. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although I haven't been posting, I have been creating like crazy. I've been really working almost around the clock on painting, jewelry and scarf making. I've been getting paintings ready for my first solo show this summer, and preparing jewelry and scarfs for the 2013 fall/winter season.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So busy I am, pressing forward and leaving my mark while I am at it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Since I started making jewelry years ago I have wanted to include the gentlemen. Of course, it is easier for me to produce jewelry for females because I am one, but I know that there are men out there that wear masculine pieces as well. So I have made a concerted effort to come up with some designs for men this season. This bracelet is made from hemp and suede. The rings are made of wood, and come from an unwanted necklace.</span><br />

Yesterday I had an epiphany. I was, and have been spending way too much time thinking about things that simply don't matter or have anything to do with me. I've been wasting what I like to call....brain time!<br />
<br />
I spend an immense amount of time daydreaming about the things that are not immediately before me. Don't get me wrong, dreaming within itself is not a bad thing. In order to write the vision, you have to have one first. So, I don't knock daydreaming. It is the obsessive daydreaming that steals precious time from making each moment count in the now that is harmful.<br />
<br />
For those that know me, I am sensitive with a compassionate heart. I will take someones problem on as my own in a minute in the name of encouraging, helping or championing them. In the end, it is just serves as an enabler.<br />
<br />
I thought about all of this a lot. And I thought about what mind frame has gotten me the furthest. I have to say, it hasn't been the above. It's been the ability to turn the problems of others (and even my own) over to the One that can really do something about it. I realize that's not in my job description. As a matter of fact, the objective of my resume is to stay in my lane!<br />
<br />
So folks, I am working on staying in my lane. That means that I am willing to keep the above mentioned things in check and<br />

The Parisian themed mural for baby Gabriella is done! My work day yesterday was long, but it didn't feel like work. As I posted on FB, it never does when you are doing what you love and purposed to do!<br />
<br />
It was a pleasure to do this for yet another family, and I am so sure that this is the start of something wonderful!<br />
<br />
Don't forget to check out Gabriella's mom, Danielle on her blog at: <a href="http://meetusatthesavoy.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><b>What's Buzzin? We're Building a Savoy with Ryan Homes!</b></i></span></a> She has been updating regularly!<br />
