Unlimited funds,
No this isn’t my truth. But what if it was, what would I change? If I believe I have a never ending flow of money and will always have enough money for whatever I want and need, then is it true? I want a new Tesla that I can put in auto-pilot and let it…

What do you bring to the table?

My life journal.
Daily I want to write about yesterday. So when I’m older and no longer working at a 9 to 5 job. I can look back at my wordpress posts and smile, cry or day dream perhaps even inspire myself. Yesterday I tried to photograph my last two paintings. But the wind kept knocking the paintings…

Art
I have to start two new paintings this week. Both of people that I know a co-worker when she was little and my cousin’s daughter when she was little. The “source” photo that I use needs to be clear enough for my mentor to compare to the painting. I should have been blogging about each…
