Thought For The Day:
It's Sunday...a fun day for me! I am getting my car today...never mind that I haven't seen or driven it yet...I just know that this test drive in a few hours is the one. It's the strangest feeling...a peace that I am so good with. It's an underlying knowing within my soul! It's knowing that this is the time. I've decreed and I've declared, and now is the time!

Thought For The Day:

As I sit here reading myself to publish a post that I have previously saved, to my chagrin, it is gone! In knowing that it is gone, I realize I have 2 choices. I could either freak out, throw a few things around, and scream at the top of my lungs; or I could sit, relax and type out a whole new post.

I decide to do the later of the options above. It’s funny that I have been presented with this particular option today. I should or could be seething with anger, and if truth be told, I am doing some pretty hefty breathing exercises so that I don’t get to that point. But then reality hits. What good is being angry going to do? It’s not going to magically bring back the words that are lost. At best it will raise my blood pressure a few notches, and intensify the headache that has been nagging me the past few days from pressure in my traps. In the grand scheme of things perhaps what I was going to talk about was not what needed to be posted anyway.

In making the later choice, I make some adjustments. I knew this before, but know it more even now…websites can be fickle. Instead of writing my posts directly on the site, I will write them in word, save them, and then cut and paste them into the site. That will save me a whole lot of agita!

This choice wasn’t so bad. I learned something, took a stroll back down memory lane while drinking a hot cup of caramel apple cider from my office, and managed to get this post out. It works out in my favor!!!

Thought For The Day:

Before I know it, it will be 9pm. Today I have managed to get a few things done. I have even managed to fit in an hour long walk, which was much needed to put some things in perspective.

Before my walk I put a post on FB that simply said this, "Life is good! Not perfect, but good. The sun in shining, Daidi and I are cool, I have family and friends that I love dearly and they love me the same, business is picking up, and my social calendar is full. But it's the strangest thing, it feels like something is missing."

That's where I was, and to some extent, that is where I am at the moment. It's almost like there is this void that is unfulfilled, and I just can't figure out exactly what that void is...if indeed there is one. I feel okay. I don't feel sad or angry. I just feel a little perplexed.

I have felt this way before. I am unsure of what I did (if anything) to make it over this feeling. I think I surmised it to be just that...a hump. A hump that I would eventually bulldoze over or smooth out. A hump that wasn't all that significant, since I can't remember how I managed to get over it. It just proves that once over one hump it's easier to get over the other humps.

So I am determined to demolish this hump that I can't quite identify! The bulldozer is cranked and ready to ride!

On My Work Desk:

This weekend I had the pleasure of doing a live painting at the All In Café Night. It was hosted by the music ministry at Victory in Christ Christian Center in Deptford, NJ. I happen to be a partner, but was honored that I was asked to lend my gift for the evening.

I was a little frazzled about what I was to paint before the event happened, and didn't get clarity until about 3 hours before the event started. And even then, it wasn't total clarity. I had bits and pieces. I was supposed to paint this a while ago, and I neglected to. As I sat quiet before God, He brought to my remembrance that He is the vine and we are the branches. His glorious roots grow deep so that we may bear fruit. Here is the outcome!

I will be making prints of this painting.

Pearls Of Wisdom:

There's nothing I miss about anything in the whole wide world. The idea of missing something means you're not living in the moment. Every moment is good for something.

The Courage To Continue

Front & back view 

Burnished parts for the toggle

The dress I got the charms from. You can see where I took the charms off!

SOLD

This beauty was sold to a woman by the name of Katie at the Piazza at the Schmidt's Bazaar that Exo31 Art took part in on Sunday, August 26th! Thanks Katie for supporting local artists!
 

   Although this bracelet is sold, stay tuned because there will be posts following with other bracelets available to purchase. Also, please remember that Exo31 Art jewelry is recreated from other broken or unwanted pieces. That means that most pieces are one of a kind and cannot be duplicated. If you are looking for other items that are for sale, please hit the for sale label on the left side of this blog. That will bring up all the items that are currently for sale!

  

I posted this bracelet before. It's a beautiful piece. The circle portion of the toggle comes from a broken belt, and the end of the toggle comes from a bracelet that I took apart. I burnished the created toggle to create a worn look. I saw so much potential in these charms on the dress a friend gave me. The dress fared well without them too! I took the jump rings off a broken belt, and the chain is from another piece of broken jewelry from the lot I purchased a few years ago.

Thought For The Day:

I woke up this morning feeling the sting of the blows that come along with pursuing this creative vision I have been given. I thought (like I have so often) it would be so much easier to get a 9 to 5, but who am I kidding? I am not built for that. I am miserable in that atmosphere...zapped of energy and creativity.

I often wonder if I have enough courage to continue with this journey, but today asked God this very same thing, and cried out for courage. Well, here I am...at my office (Starbuck's) pushing past my feelings and getting work done!

While I hate feeling this way, I understand its origin. This weekend was absolutely amazing from Friday to Sunday. As Proverbs 18:16 tells us, " A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the presence of the great."  I yielded to my gifts this weekend and gave them freely, and indeed I was in the presence of greatness! Doors were opened, and I look forward to many more opening as a result.

Performance painting done on Saturday for a wow renewal ceremony. Thank you Nate & Thilana Chandler for this awesome opportunity! They used a print of the painting as wedding favors!

So despite this temporary rough patch, I have my game face on...time to win! Until next post...

Pearls Of Wisdom:

I get low
I get high
But I keep my hands to the sky
I won’t break down, not this time
But I keep on running, even through the lows and high
Hold me God, pull me close and show Your nigh
