This week has been interesting to say the least. Well, more of last week. I bought a plane ticket home not knowing one account would be charged 3 times = $900 and another was declined due to the fact that my account was put at risk by a third party contributor (meaning a new card was mailed to my SC address). So I spent my week with $12 and needless to say I didn't like it. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I knew I had money that I just couldn't get to or frustrated that I'm so stubborn to turn down help from anyone (even though I know I could pay people back).

I want to say thanks to all of you that have pushed passed my stubbornness and offered me help throughout my life. I know it wasn't easy! So, goal work on not being as stubborn because let's face it... I don't think I can get rid it of all together (for those of you that know me, I'm sure you'd agree).

Road Block

So most of you that know me know that I paint. It seems lately that I haven't wanted to paint because I haven't liked any of my creations recently. I've painted over about 20 canvases lately. Which I would never have even thought of doing 2 years ago. So, I've been brainstorming for new ideas that involve paint...

I may have found a solution involving wood, paint, nails and thread... Random but I'm super excited to see what I create which makes my heart smile. I've been longing to create something and this may solve that problem.

Lovely Fall

I love everything about Fall. From the changing of leaves to the hint of a breeze... From the smell and taste of hot chocolate to late night talks on back porches.

This thing called life

Life is a funny thing. I'm not sure how it does it but life still catches me off guard at the oddest moments. I would have liked to think that with 24 years under my belt I could at least see it coming but I've come to the realization that even if I had 124 years under my belt I would still be surprised every once in awhile. Such is the beauty of life.

On a side note. The highlight of my week was a few days ago in Denver. I was getting out of my car on Sante Fe (also known for being the Art District) and this woman looked at me and said "Oh, what gallery will your work be hanging in?". You see the backseat of my car is filled with canvases that I've been working on recently, no pictures have been posted but it makes me extremely happy that she felt my work was gallery worthy!

On another note. I'm off to find food. I think my new love is Vietnamese.
