Good bye Mexico city

I need softness,

a breeze of light,

your embrace,

your eyes,

so I can breath,

so I can stand.

In a world of demands

love is delight,

unseen paradise,

a source, a path,

were fear dies.

I am but a drop in the ocean,

deep in madness,

trying to shine,

swim out of ignorance,

and see the source,
be with it one.

I am ready to move, I am scared but I trust in my decision,

It's been hard to leave behind some much of my studio, I am so

used to it but it's also a good exercise, to change, to learn to 

let go and move forward, travel light, only the necessary or 

is it the most treasured?  It was interesting to take note on
 what was left but then, things are only things, always replaceable.

I hope you'll send me blessings in my new journey, it's a new

beginning, a crazy thing to do for a regular lady with my age but 
was never a regular lady, always changing, ever growing, 
an adventurer and after a few years of static, I need movement.
Some of my friends are commenting me how they wish to be like me,
maybe, I am in their lives to be a mirror as they are in mine and
to show other possibilities, none is better, none is wrong or right,
it all has to do with what you want and who you want to be.

Next week all will be sand, sun and ocean breeze... accommodating.

Just all I need, thank you universe for helping me get there

so easily and in such a peace, my consciousness is of happiness.

Grateful!

This is a treasure that came home just in time before I leave,

chocolates and art, this book is awesome and it's in Dutch, 

so I think I have to learn a little if I want to read it! Lol!

Truly inspiring, most of the pictures, if not all of the them are of this wonderful 
artist work, I should make a study on one, try and see through his eyes, his heart,

 I know, I am ambitious as usual.

Ejoying life

Life is Good!

I know sometimes we all have hard moments and that

you just have to take a breath and stop to see things in 

a better distant perspective but essentially, life is

 Goodness and I am sure you agree!

My move was a bit hard this time, I never had so many things

 as I do now, my art studio and my music studio are

 in my home and they hold a lot of stuff but slowly

I am getting there and mostly, I am enjoying the process, 

seriously, one can have it as one decides and I decided to have 

a good time and enjoy every piece of it, being meticulously about 

were to put things but when I started painting

I couldn`t find anything! I still have to remember were things are!

Still needs work but I had to take a brake and have some rest and paint 

a little yesterday, it`s amazing how much I missed it!  Here is a little peek

 into how it`s coming along, still some boxes here and there...

The good part of this process was:

1. Removing all the unused and old stuff
2. renovate furniture and clean deeply
3. finding things I forgot I had and are super cool!
4. being able to recycle old canvases, journals, papers, etc...
5. Finding old unfinished projects and ideas!
6. Regrouping things that go together, like pencils, charcoals, acrylics, etc.
7. Finding new ways to use my furniture
8. removing all the cluster!!

Haaaa!, feels good now that it`s almost done! :D

My kitty is also adapting to her new home, the new noises and places to hide

and sleep, it`s a lot of fun for her too but sometimes scary so I had 

(and loved) to pet her a lot but she`s a brave girl as well, she`s now in an 

adventure checking out my neighbour`s roofs, I just hope they like cats,

I know they like humans so far!

This are one of the forgotten projects, I did a watercolor  painting of this doll

 and made some fabric dolls, they were meant to be sold but I forgot about it!

I should put them in my Etsy! 

All this inspired me to paint and draw about how I feel 

about my home and what it means to me 

and did some sketches, I love this one...

And did a painting about it too, I am naming it 

"A Home For The Soul" 

I love how she`s coming to life, it is resting now for a little and did

 some loosening up exercises yesterday from my class with this faces,

I had a lot of fun but they were finished in the dark so this morning

I find them too yellowish, I might go back to them later...

I believe one can be happy anytime, it`s a decision one makes, at the end,

it`s only your self who decides how to feel no matter the circumstances,

and to be responsible for your happiness, be happy just now!
