Omgoodness! Umm…my last blog was in March.😅 I totally didn’t expect to go on a 7-month hiatus, but it just happened that way. I took time out to pray and reevaluate my blogging journey. If you’re a blogger or content creator and haven’t done this, I want to encourage you to do it.

Here are some life updates:

• Published my first book through Amazon! Find it here.
• Learned how to skate backward.
• Visited Sedona twice (It’s magically fo’real!)
• Learned how to use a scroll saw.
• Applied for an Artist Residency.
• Successfully completed a tufted rug.
• Purchased a professional easel and fell in love with Golden Paints.
• Booked and completed client work.
• Started a new sketchbook.
• Started using my Silhouette Alta 3D printer again.
• Created new food recipes with Elias.
• Visited my sister and hiked some steep paths through the National Zoo, lol.
• Drove to Hershey Park to check out the hype.

These are some highs that got me through the lows. Prayer and having a praying community have truly sustained me throughout the year.

During my hiatus, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to create more abstract art and dabble in woodworking for art installations. So far, everything has been going well! I plan on creating another blog section to share my art journey and sell my creations.

That’s it for my update! Thank you all for being on this creative journey with me. I hope you stick around to continue having fun with me!

✏️ Sidenote: Here’s one of the paintings I created during the hiatus. ✨

Until next time, whatever you do, make it with zeal!
