Be playful! Be fun! Be bold! 

As an artist I'm naturally attracted to color: 

Colorful people, colorful attitudes, colorful food, colorful colors... 

Certain colors can influence certain moods and thoughts. 

They can bring you back to a special time in your life,

Make you smile, calm you down, or even excite you.

It's fun experimenting with color in your wardrobe.

A pop of color can take a look to the next level and beyond.

Find your inner artist.

Sprinkle your closet with some fun colored pieces. 

Blue leather, red fur, green shoes, purple hat, yellow blouse

Next time you shop, pick a garment in color you rarely wear. 

Live outside the box.  

My favorite colors that pop: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue

Angelic Rebel

“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. ‘Time’ for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.”

    As a child, I was quiet. I was shy, kept to myself, and didn’t get into trouble (much). I was afraid of EVERYTHING: roller coasters, dogs, scary movies, roaches (still terrified), etc. I cried at the drop of a hat. My feelings hurt so easily, if you even looked at me funny I'd start tearing up. I’m not sure when it began, but part of me started breaking through those fears, building up that backbone, and going against the grain. You get to a point in life where enough is enough. I wouldn't say that I'm a rebel, but I'm known to be outspoken. I have a tongue as sharp as knives and am always down for a healthy debate. I've taken many risks, dared to be challenged, jumped several leaps of faith...Though deep down, I'm still that timid little girl. There are parts of me that are still so sensitive and soft; Reserved and afraid. But the bigger part of me is like "Girl, just be yourself and LIVE". I have much more to experience, more hurdles to leap, more boundaries to cross. Sometimes, you gotta take a deep breathe, step back, and let The Universe guide you. I'm not saying I'm about to go sky diving or anything, but I do wanna try parasailing. I still don't do roller coasters though...baby steps.

Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride..." -Prince

 

Sometimes we connect with another. And that connection can be so deep. Like the stars aligned and the universe's magnetic pull drew you two together. And when you finally find your way to each other it seems not even the odds can break you two apart. Time runs along, red flags appear (that you half-blindly overlook), curve balls thrown that you impressively manage to catch and you convince yourself that the Universe is teaching you patience. A year later: time has faded, the red flags are now Enter At Your Own Risk signs, and you no longer care for baseball. And you ask the Universe, what was I suppose to learn from this?

We put OURSELVES in situations and blame the Universe when they don't go our way. When in actuality, the situation went exactly how it should have. Then we're left with ourselves. Maybe that's the lesson. Those situations in our lives that take us further away from ourselves. The Universe wants us to be happy. It wants us to find the perfect match and for the pieces to come together perfectly. But it also wants us to spend time learning about ourselves. Had we not been through those tumultuous relationships we wouldn't have learned how impatient, or insecure, or stubborn, or passive, or controlling, or WHATEVER we are. There are always signs when we aren't where we need to be, or aren't treating ourselves fairly. It's our duty to recognize these signs and immediately stop ourselves from digging that hole any deeper. We need to have self respect, self control, self awareness. We need to learn how important our needs are and decide not to settle for anything less than what we deserve. It's a necessary journey that we all must take, but at the end of the road we ultimately find true love. The kind of love that is never compromised. The kind of love that last forever...Self love. The rest comes later. I promise.
