Over Due

I got the paint back out tonight.

This is a 22x28 Acrylic on canvas.

Its been months since I created, I was well over due!

This painting was commissioned by the daughter of the lady in the painting.

She passed away over 10 years ago,

and wanted to have it done for her father.

It felt great to get back into the swing of things!

Mystery Man

I listened to this guy talk the whole fairy ride from Ellis Island,

in Italian.

He was wearing a crisp white polo with matching a brimmed hat.

His tone biceps,

tan skin

and perfect face had me captivated...

inspired!

so I followed him off and took his picture!

Damn he was walking fast!!!

Look close and you will see him from behind.

Love locked down

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys,

and keys to fit our locks.

When we feel safe enough to open the locks,

our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are;

we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be.

Each unveils the best part of the other.

No matter what else goes wrong around us,

with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise.

Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings,

our sense of direction.

When we’re two balloons,

and together our direction is up,

chances are we’ve found the right person.

Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life

- Richard Bach

Sorry.

I dont want to be any ones only option.

Im sought out.

Im valuable,

as an artist, as a friend

and as a woman.

Im Going

I feel like Im in one of those dreams

where you want to run as fast as you can,

but instead you run in place

because your feet cant touch the ground...

yeah thats me.

Going no where fast.

Im missing my studio more than ever right now.

Me In NYC

I love to inspire people

Because people inspire me!

Pressing Stop

Stop being available at all hours of the night and day

only to be ignored when you have something

valuable, meaningful and important to say

Stop giving away your talent

Stop giving away your love.

Stop waiting for him to see you

Your star will shine brighter

once you remove yourself from his shadow.

Stop making excuses.

If he was really your friend he would treat you better.

He would care.

Stop being there.

Stop being that girl.

He wasn't there

He doesn't care

So why should you?

STOP

and smell the roses.

Have You Ever...

Talked to yourself so much that you are sick of hearing your own voice?

I have.

Im hitting the mute button.

Check One Two

Just reading over my blog.

Ugh.

Who is this?

Not me.

All this talk about love, life and happiness.

My head is out of the clouds and even Im annoyed by me.

Im starting to feel bad for whom ever has read this.

Sorry!

...I need to get back to my art.

Telling me to go

With all that I am and all that I have

Im lost with no direction.

Why?

Why hasnt someone come along,

grabbed my hand

and said,

"follow me"

I want to be with someone that enjoys me

I have this passion for life and people

a passion that allows me to fall madly deeply in love

with the spirt of the person I adore

But for some reason,

I go to bed every night with my mac and blackberry

So Im still on a mission.

I mission to make myself happy

and find a place to call home.

Lay some roots.

I am turning over every stone here before I go though

and so far I have found nothing.

Only a path that is leading me one way

far far away.

I told Mr. Hope I was going to NYC

And this is what he said,

"You realize there is a time and place for soul searching

and then there is pushing the limits of your fascination

with something that isn't necessarily real

by doing something stupid."

Im Waiting

A True Love
is When You Can Love Someone Without Seeing Them...
Without Holding Them..
When it is Enough to Exist in This Space and Time...
and Wait for the Hour...
the Perfect Time to Bring Your Union

Hey Young World

"Expecting the world to treat you fairly

because you are a good person

is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you

because you are a vegetarian”

War Paint

Sometimes I wonder if love is worth fighting for,

but then I see your face and I'm ready for war.

“Life is a choice."

Choose life today.

Face your fears.

Take a risk.

Think outside the box.

Do what you love.

Share your passions with people.

Inspire.

Use your talents.

Say what you mean.

Love with abandon.

Go for it!

Ask questions.

Give answers.

Be present.

Be Creative.

Be your own person.

Live life!

What Will She Say With Her Microphone?

So Samantha wants a real microphone. Her favorite song right now is Handlebars by The Flobots. Theres a line that says, "I can lead a nation with a microphone." I told her if she can learn all the words to the song I would buy her one. Even though she doesnt know who Leif Ericson is or know all the words to "De Colores" ...shes giving me a run for my money! Cant wait to record her doing it! ~So cute.

Im watching tutorials.

I AM, my best investment.

I Never Told You

God, I just look at his smile and it seems so clear.

So obvious to me that he stands alone.

He is perfection.

The good and the bad.

I enjoy who he is.

Everything about him.

With this in mind,

how or why would I even look further?

Because I could never tell him.

Tonight He Made Me Smile

"Sometimes what we want isn't what we need

and was only given to serve some purpose for a time.

God may be taking you somewhere else.

Let go and let God.

Time can heal wounds if you let it..."

Love at first sight

Over the years I have been asked if I believe in love at first sight.

I never knew how to answer that...

mainly because I often would question the ulterior motive of the men asking me the question.

Here is what I have concluded.

Do you see because you believe,

or do you believe because you see?

I have seen it.

I have been there.

I have felt it.

Though its taken me a long time to figure out the catch

and now I will share it with you.

It has to be mutual.
