Thought For The Day:

It's now Thursday, and this post was supposed to be out last Friday (aka a week ago). There has been too much going on to even write, which brings me to today.

I've figured out why it sometimes takes me so long to post. I've been thinking about it for a few days.

I want to be a prolific writer and artist really! I want each post to be filled with plenty of candor and wit. I want each post to be inundated with the items that I am currently working on.

The truth is...wit doesn't always come as second nature to me, and this blog site is not meant to share everything. So I will take some pressure off of myself from this point on. There may be days where there are more pictures than words, and then some days where there are more words than pictures. 

I am giving myself permission to be liberated in how I approach posting from here on out. This may result in a few more posts per week, and it may not. Only time will tell!

On My Work Desk:

I have started to sunset series that I spoke of in the last post. The top is almost complete and I still have a lot of work to do on the bottom piece. There will be at least 5 painting in this series. Once I complete the 5, I may do more. We shall see!

Corner of Gratitude:

The courage to simply "show up"

Pearls of Wisdom:

The pursuit of perfection is not the flaw. The flaw lies in condemning oneself to the point of debilitation when that pursuit is not completed to the perfectionists standards.

Thought For The Day:

It has been six days since hurricane Sandy touched down.  The news has been reeling with plenty of video, photos, and stories of those that were effected by the storm. While my home was unscathed, there were plenty that were damaged beyond repair!

And while life goes on for me, there are others that are in the midst of picking up the pieces, which brought a thought to mind. How often do we really take time out to bless those that are less fortunate than ourselves? How long are we willing to lend a helping hand, and what are our motives behind that helping hand?

We see it all the time. A sob story (for the lack of a better term) comes on TV and the media hypes it up for a moment, and as fast as the clip on the news airs is as fast as the sentiment to help is gone! The Philadelphia Inquirer article "Rebuilding the Shore", written by Anthony Whelan, Mike Armstrong, Amy Rosenberg, and Paul Nussbaum stated it best. "The president has left. TV crews have moved on. Many of the police roadblocks are down. All that's left of Hurricane Sandy now is $50 billion worth of ruined homes, devastated towns, and uprooted lives." It's quite shameful to say the least. However, I will be the responsible adult here and say that I am not exempt from losing that "loving feeling" so fast either.

I chalk it up to our selfish human nature. We are concerned with things that are near and dear to us, while we could care less (or not as much) about the things that are not. We are generally creatures of habit, and habit often leads to us taking care of self before taking care of someone else.

The good part is that we have the ability to help! We have the opportunity to forget about ourselves for once, and focus on someone else. Little acts of kindness go far. It's not always the grand gestures that make a difference. In addition to funds, I am sure hurricane victims would do well with generous deeds from others like a prepared meal, the use of electricity or water, transportation, kind words of encouragement or even a smile...to name a few!

I pray that the needs of the people are being met right now. I pray that it is on the agenda of our government to see that the people that were misplaced get back to normal as soon as possible. I pray that those that were spared of the storms wrath would recognize just how blessed they are!

Thought For The Day:

Hurricane Sandy has blown over, and in the span of her arrival and departure, I have been experiencing cabin fever. Yesterday was a total bust! I did nothing…nada…niente…niets…ingenting…rien! Okay, you get the point, it was super unsuccessful!

Today is a different story though! I think I have come up with a good system to clear away the procrastination blues. After all when I get nothing done it is not because I have nothing to do, but because I am putting the inevitable off for another time. Often times that inevitable time is at the last minute, which is no longer acceptable.

From this day forth, I plan to come up with my to do list the night before, and try real hard to make the things listed happen the following day. I won’t put anything on there that is unrealistic, but I do believe that it is important for me to challenge myself.

Today I have done pretty well. I have managed to get almost all of the things that are on my list done today before the five o'clock hour. That is definitely a feat for me! They say that it takes 21 days to create a habit, and this is a habit that I need to form. 

On My Work Desk:

Just getting the brush to the canvas. A practice piece.

Journal Page Of The Day:

I have finally decided to pen down the 33 things I would like to accomplish while 33. As you can see, I am adding things as they come. I am about 5 months late, but who is counting anyway! I still have more than half a year to complete them!

 I am using my little dude to help me with my proportions.

Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully."

Thought For The Day:

For those that have been reading for a while have heard me speak of the love that I have for Northern Virginia. I lived there for a few years after graduating from college (for those that are reading for the first time). While I was there I spent an immense amount of time in Old Town Alexandria, which is a quaint area that is about 15 square miles large with an incredible thriving arts community. 

Well this weekend I finally had the opportunity to visit the Torpedo Factory during a girls weekend. I am grateful to have friends (that I consider to be sisters) that appreciate all forms of art and understand my love for it as well. And while I know that they like art, I am almost convinced that the friend that lives in the area thought that it would be good for me in particular. And if that was the case, indeed she was right!

The artists and their creations were absolutely amazing! The open studio set up was just what I needed to put a little pep in my step. I needed to see artists doing "their thing". I needed to feel the barrage of emotions, from sadness to sheer delight. I have been in the swing of things concerning my creations, but there is always that nagging voice that states that I am not good enough or that I won't make it in this business, and even that I will run out of ideas. 

 

I am almost sure that the nagging voice is the voice of the enemy, and I choose to believe otherwise! I was built for this! I am on the right track! I am in the exact place I should be, and even the timing of things is not an accident!

 

I love what I do, and the people that push me to strive to be better at what I do! Thank you for an absolutely lovely weekend JW Crew! I love you ladies!

Temporary Lows Of Entrepreneurship

SOLD

About This Piece

The price of this item is $30 (shipping not included), and please remember that the paypal button under the scarf is ONLY for this Purple/Teal Mix winter scarf.  There will be posts following with other scarves available to purchase, and the return policy is the same as that for Exo31 Art, LLC jewelry.

Thought For The Day:
Next month will mark the 4th year of operation for Exo31 Art. I should be jumping up and down, but the reality is that I am just now starting to function as a business. I am just now beginning to understand that being an entrepreneur is a sacrifice! I am not so sure that I believed or recognized just how much of a sacrifice it was until I decided that I was going to “just do it”!

The “just do it” mentality comes with a lot of baggage. The baggage for me includes:

Working odd jobs:
I am not a 9 to 5 type of person. Don’t get me wrong; I am a workhorse! However, a 9 to 5 is often too monotonous for me. At the same time, I never thought that at the age of 33 I would be working odd jobs in order to pay bills while my business grows.

Temporary Low Funds:
Temporary low funds often comes with being an entrepreneur. I understand and accept it because it is just “temporary”. I don’t subscribe to the “starving artist” mentality. I am an artist, but I am hardly starving! I would rather go through this temporary space of not getting what I want so that I can grow to the place where I have an overflow of monetary resources. After all it is far more important for me to love what I am doing instead of loving the paycheck. One day (and soon) the paycheck will match my passion for creativity.

Living With Parents:
This is another, “I never thought I would be…” at 33. At this age I thought I would have been in a home of my own. It isn’t so, and I have learned to become okay with that. Again, I understand that this is a temporary situation.

I have learned that on this journey to leaving this awesome legacy that lies within me, there are plenty of unexpected turns. I could either end the journey short of making it to the finish line in order to avoid those unexpected turns or I could navigate my way through the unexpected turns with tenacity. I choose the later of the two. There may be struggles, success may look different than I thought, and things may not always go according to scheduled plans, but at least I am fervently going after what I know I was placed here on this Earth to do!

And to me, it all makes making sacrifices worth it!

Pearls Of Wisdom:

“Starting your own business is like riding a roller coaster. There are highs and lows and every turn you take is another twist. The lows are really low, but the highs can be really high. You have to be strong, keep your stomach tight, and ride along with the roller coaster that you started.” 

– Lindsay Manseau

Thought For The Day:

This year, I have decided to create my own 2013 calendar. Yes it took some time. As a matter of fact, I took more time than I probably should have taken on it. But the reality is that I wanted to make a calendar that had what I wanted and needed in it.

In addition to containing a month/weeks in review and monthly budgets, it contains what I like to call a monthly to-do lists. The list consists of goals, plans of actions, and achievements for each month. I have decided to make you all privy to some things on this list in order to keep myself accountable. I find that I do best when I spell what I need to do out and tell others. That way it keeps folks open to ask every once and a while where I am with the things I say that I am going to do.

I will post in the beginning of the month some goals and then at the end of the month I will post my progress on the goals I set in the beginning of the month.

So here goes for this chilly month of October:
- Finish artist resumé
- Post here at least 3 times per week
- Contact at least 2 cafés to see about hanging my artwork in their establishment
- Keep connected with the social media outlets that I am subscribed to

There you have it folks! My October monthly goals when it comes to my purpose regarding
Exo31 Art!

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.
