Into My Wild

Happy Anniversary to Jason and I. Today, we've been together for one whole year. This morning, we made breakfast and finished watching Into the Wild with Emil Hirsch. I saw the movie back in 2007 when it first came out: it had a great impact in my life as it did when I read the book years before. In it, Emil says "The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences." Over the years, I have noticed that in those moments of newness, there has been the greatest joy and feelings of aliveness. The act of doing something new even if it's as simple as taking a new route to work or trying a new dish at one's favorite restaurant awakens our spirit.

It is day 3 in Jason's and I's pact to not drink for an entire month. I am still curious about how it will develop. I will keep you posted.

This piece here is titled "My Two Faces and Two Yellow Hands. It is the 3rd piece inspired by Picasso. I may do one more as I found another image that sparked my interest. It took me some time to finish it, but when it was done yesterday, I did a little dance of joy. I felt proud!

I will now work on finishing 3 Little Girls inspired by Modigliani. Doing these pieces inspired by artists has been so amazing; it has opened my eyes to seeing my work a little differently.

Thank you Jason for being on my side and for the love and light that you are in my life. Thank you for taking this journey with me; I feel so very happy and blessed.

May you go out into the world and be courageous enough to try something new today, tomorrow, and for everyday to come.
Cheers!
