Trust the Process
I have been a working Artist officially since 2015 at the launch of my small business and it has been a tough journey. I have shown my work throughout the Puget Sound and met amazing people touched by my work. My heart is full when I remember the results of my labor.
Unfortunately, the joy of creating and the impact my work has made within my community has rarely been monetarily compensated. This fact has made it difficult to fund my work through the years.
It is a struggle to express the importance of my work as an Artist to those closest to me. The years I’ve invested in my craft are life changing and I have grown as a person through the varied obstacles and challenges faced. Although I have yet to be financial successful in my craft, to create art is like breathing so to stop is absurd.
To those fellow Artist establishing your niche in the world and in hope of your big break…I say Bravo to being what we call in Statistics the Outlier.
I may be one in thousands but my light shines so bright anyone can see.
Upward and onward….and like my former advisor told me once as a budding Psych student at Tacoma Community College, “ upward mobility”.
Change Your Frequency
In this life we can be bogged down with the negative goings on in society to the extent paralysis overtakes us. Meaning we absorb the negative energy and become depressed which creates stagnation.
What I have learned is we must change our frequency….Especially us empaths. To understand another persons plight and care enough to do only what is within your means to elevate the person is commendable . However we must never internalize other peoples negative choices or experiences. Be a problem solver. Be a solution giver.
Self loathing is always counter productive. Our lives matter and so do our neighbors. So for sure we are stronger together.
If your spirit is bogged down change your frequency. Refocus. Recalibrate.
Nature is a great place for this to happen.
We have been given all we need in this life for our success. Doubt and self defeat are illusions of the mind…change your frequency.
Atmosphere of praise…
He wore a crown
A crown of thorns
Piercing his brow
Blood flowed mingled with sweat and tears
Symbolizing the release of mental captivity
Delivered me from every wrong thought
Delivered me from every backward motive
Delivered me from thoughts of suicide, death, and demise
Please loose me from the devils venus fly trap
Seeking to kill me softy slowly ingest my insides out
Leaving a frame of dust and air
Void and utterly senseless
Is that not what world-lings are
Empty shells manipulated like putty
Spewing senseless rutterick
Utterly worthless communication is what destroys rather than builds
By His stripes I am healed
So the power of satan and the world with all its appeal
Has put a bitter taste in my mouth
Now washed out with the power of praise
Transforming dark atmospheres into sanctuary‘s
Expelling all fallen angels
Welcoming angelic host like sentinels surrounding me with heavenly light
Darkness has taken flight satan and company included
Their plight nothingness ashes to ashes dust to dust for there is no rest for the wicked
