Family Pics...

    Today I am taking family pictures for my brother and his family. They're a fresh family of 5 and need some new, updated pictures of them with the kiddos! I offered my very, very amateur skills in photography! 

    I'm a creative person and I always accept a creative challenge when it's presented to me! So I'll be doing my best to give them some really great family pictures that they can be proud to show people, handout to friends and family and display in their home! 

    I'm feeling extra exhausted today, I think it's because I know I'll be socializing for a few hours. My anxiety kicks in to overdrive when I know I'll have to keep my composure for several consecutive hours. 

    Even if it's family. Anxiety gets to make the rules most days. When you have a diagnosed disorder, it's literally a fight every single day to keep yourself on the up and up and remind yourself that those dark days aren't worth falling back into old patterns. 

    Anyway, I am off to take pictures of 3 of my beautiful nieces and nephews! (their parents too 💀😹) 

Today's affirmation: It's okay to take breaks, fall apart and rest but it is NOT okay to give up. 


XOXO

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
