(A bit of a Shibui here.) It is a lovely day here at Anisette. Excited to be underway in the studio. Coffees at the ready! Already been planning Plant Paradox menu for the week. Changing the diet up, and walking.

~Thoughts for the day~

Was broadsided yesterday and back to my norm. Don’t you just hate when you get broadsided! Thoughts come and you follow them, they change your mood placing a cloud in your world. Underneath, inside I feel my stance regarding these broadsided thoughts. It’s balanced there. “I know my conclusions and feel good about them. That I have found my balance.” However, being broadsided is what it is. Even if the issues is not yours to solve, yet your norm is affected. Frustrating. The trick is not falling into responding emotionally. Being an artist helps I do my own art therapy.

My old Studio, I miss this space. I do like my new space as it develops. Need some pictures of it to share. This is the desk where blogs and other writing were done. Art too!

My Thomas in 2020. In the studio. I had two studios in Bar Mills.

My printamking press.

My second Studio, a gift for ourselves, a get-away as well! It was hard to leave behind by selling.

What’s happening in the Studio?

Today I think I will “play” with ink. I found three angel ink drawings, done with some stippling. My printer Gina could turn them into prints for me so to sell them at The Age of Aquarius Healing Center. I have two other paintings in the works with Gina now.

The space changes depending on what I am doing. Sale of the prints will help me buy oils. I have a dozen or more photos of possible paintings on my wall in front of one of my drawing tables. I am in need of prepping it for work again. I went through the art file and found work to take to Age of Aquarius. I wanted to find available works for an exhibition there as well. I will work on those plans. I need to organize what I have for goals. It’s better to plan, begin and follow through with those goals. Not take too many one without finishing them. I have an artist collaboration I am committed to already. There is writing and art to accomplish there. The collaboration and generating doable revenue streams is important. There are other leads to follow up on. I am underway!

~Pearls of Wisdom~

“Every morning, liquid gold slips under the trees and pours down the slopes to puddle against the purple locusts. Shafts of sunlight caught in crystal dew light each blade of grass and splash color against the truck of trees.”

“Sioux told their white invaders that they were digging up their Black Hills for gold to get rich— but the Sioux were rich by simply watching the Black Hills. And so it is with the morning sun. It brings a wealth that no material thing could give. Joy is gold and peace of mind cannot be valued. These things draw long-term interests.”

Also, in italic, from this same pearl of wisdom, a daily meditation from Joyce Sequichie Hilfter’s book “A Cherokee Feast of Days Vol. 1” “My brother, you can go into the agency if you wish: but I intend to work my way up to the Power River country. I think it will be better for us all if people are not divided.” Little Wolf Cheyenne.

May your day be filled with love and laughter! The very best wishes! Pejj Nunes 5/9/2026
