Spring has sprung…and with it, all the usual feelings of happiness and light have followed! Thank you spring for reminding me that at my core, I am a very happy person. And thank you for all the wonderful new possibilities you have ushered in with your arrival. And thank you for the pretty weather and the sunshine. All of this makes me very happy. :)

You can check out some of the pictures from the arts show last Friday on Jen’s website. She was awesome to work with! I had a blast. More pictures to come soon. Stay Creative ♥ ♥

The street art of JR
This is BY FAR one of my most favorite artists! I posted a video where he talked about his vision and how he thinks art can change the world a while back.
I love him not just for his talent but for his vision of where and how art can not only change the world but the people you are surrounded by. How it can influence you to see the bigger picture in life. He is a genius.

My ART SHOW is less than a week away. I never feel ready for a show no matter how prepared I actually am. For this show in particular, I am quite prepared (more so than normal). Just making a few last touches today before I try to forget about my “pre art show jitters” for the next few days and focus on some other work I have to get done.

The next few days will be busier than normal. And if you know me, then you know that’s a lot because I stay busy. All the work keeps me sane and happy!

Yesterday was a very special day for me. I’ve been a little bit down this last week and I decided that I needed what I call a “mental health holiday!” So my good friend Sunny and I had an afternoon that was exactly what I needed. It started with a walk from his house to eat lunch at NOFO. It’s about a mile walk and on the way I saw this:

Yes…that is a bird wing on the sidewalk. WTF! It was very sad looking but also kind of beautiful in its tragic nature. I started wondering about the bird and what happened to the rest of it (most likely a cat), and then I kept walking.
We had a FANTASTIC lunch at NOFO. For anyone who hasn’t eaten there before…I highly recommend it!
I had the special:

It was a seared shrimp with onions and peppers type of quesadilla , served with an avocado salad. WONDERFUL!
Sunny had this:

A perfectly toasted Tuna Melt sandwich with chips. also delicious (I know because I had a bite.)
Plus they had these little beauties on the table:

I loved these shy little pink flowers.
After lunch we went upstairs to the little market. These are some of the gems we found there:



A quick trip to the ATM (where i just sat in the sun for a bit):

And then we were off. Back to Sunny’s place to watch Anime ALL AFTERNOON! It was really perfect. Just want I needed to decompress.
Then the night ended over at the Bison with a PBR:

What more could you ask for in a day? I loved every minute of it.
