Dear Diary
I love writing. I love writing almost as much as I love painting. Yet nearly a full year after launching this website, I’ve yet to write a blog post.
I’ve not known what to write that would appeal to you. I have been afraid that the things I like to write about will ‘out’ me as an unrepentantly off my rocker, society shunning mystic.
Some people consider sharing their art to be a very vulnerable experience, but for me it is the writing that feels vulnerable. Right now though I am making this my launching place. And I’m committing to write from the raw heart of it. Like 11 year old me would write to her diary.
I’m going to write about the stuff that I’ve thought others would think is crazy, my strange discoveries and experiences, and the stuff that fills me with hope and vibrancy. I’m going to write about my dreams, my adventures and my art of course. I’ll share my painting processes, my home studio, maybe even my big garden. I’ll be homeschooling my children in 2024/25 and so parenting and homelife might make an appearance also.
While I will not write much about divisive current world events being either broadcast widely or swept under the rug, I will strive to make the world a more beautiful place by placing my focus on all that is good, kind, compassionate and loving. I hope that by sharing from my heart I will be encouraging others to live their best lives, follow their intuition, indulge their most noble longings and shine their inner light brightly.
It is this indulgence of noble longings that brings me to finally creating this blog, if what I write here gets read, or simply ferments in the digital abyss, is not my concern. I won’t be writing to make money, I won’t be writing for fame, you won’t find any paid advertisements either. This is my digital sanctuary it brings me fulfillment and I share it in openness in hopes that you dear one might mine some hidden gems for your own journey.
Want something more? Well I suppose I could always tell you to browse my art, find your favourite piece, custom order it for your home and support my continued existence. But no worries if you had other ideas. I’m happy you were here.
