Revenue stream goals for 2024: (1) The creation of 12 pastel still life’s. Below is one example of my work so far. The plan is to create and pick from the best when 12 or more are completed. (2) other revenue stream goals will be paintings in one or more of the following mediums: oil, watercolor or gouache. It’s been a while as my focus has been on Shibui Found Image Art. A pivot is a good thing as I write about Shibui. I am loving Paul Rembrandt pastels. The colors are amazing.

It’s been since 1994 that I have had fun with the pastels. I began Shibui 2011. A lot happened after that. I have my new home in my cottage studio and just now feel I am underway! A new easel awaits me! Varooooom! Or perhaps its “Let’s move it! Move it! Move it! More like that! I love claiming my Boho cottage studio!

Good Morning Sunshine!

Washing the feet____ in doing so, freeing the dirt off from one’s path’s____ one’s journey, and then to go on to the next path. Love the adventure, love the new path. Refuse to be anxious, only excitement This is how life should be. And age____ it does not matter. It need not matter. For if age is over thought, nothing would happen, nothing____ fun or extraordinary. Give me extraordinary! Give me a new a new start each day! No matter what I look like as I age. Because I am young inside! I have earned my stripes! I have come around to a new cycle and I won’t go down in a sinking ship, I am ready to fly!

Coffee at the ready! And now to ponder the day. What will this day be? I will go over and help Jacobie with some things as she is off today. She has some new exercise equipment I want to check out.

She is taking the kids to school, and I am back at my cottage with the quietness of my day. A cardinal has been here already, and its 8:07. In the 50s outdoors, yet I think it is an overcast day today. I put the song Monday, Monday on this morning! LOL Then, I began to pay attention to the lyrics and moved on by shutting the music off.

I have been thinking of aging, and what I want it to be. I want more out of life, and I don’t want to have the end of my life be a limbo land of______ Well, what ever. I see older folk being judged by younger folk as if at this point in life we are all suddenly stupid or children. That feels offensive. Yes, certain things do happen at different times of life, and the gambit is to find ways to still be independent, vital____ I think that mindset is everything! I do not feel old. So, I am not going to be old.

Well, enough of this! On to the next thing. May your day be filled with love and laughter! best wishes! Pejj
