So many things are going on in the world - a global pandemic, an economic crisis, political upheaval, a new civil rights movement (BLM and demands to stop brutality by policy against black people), an election is coming up in November, and certainly more.
On the personal level, I started working a temp job and am still applying to find my new permanent job. I’ve been applying to some amazing companies, so I’m hoping one of those applications lands me a job!
In the meantime, I’ve also been focusing on creating art! I’ve let my writing simmer on the back burner for a bit while I focus on relaxing, visually or kinesthetically pleasing art-making, pics below! I hope you are finding ways to live in the present, find joy, and create.
Sometimes you feel like a blue lemon.
…when you want to feel like a calm elf.
So your body and mind accommodate and transform you into an angry and despairing mountain sprite.
When this happens, it is time to go for a walk and make poetry…
…and craft with friends…
and doodle…
…or do whatever it is…
that helps you reflect, maintain hope, and shift your perspective.
