Living with chronic pain is tough. Everybody choses to live with it differently. I manage it in various ways, but the one you see here on my blog or on social media is via art and writing. Although neither take away the pain, it does help me focus away from it as well as transfer …
The Sunflower 🌻 Womb… Mother’s Day early love for anyone where this day is hard for you. I get it. Depending on the year, and how I’m feeling, I either am fine or not. I’m either great with it all or not. On the years I’m not good with it, I don’t go on social …
I have found out from Mother Earth that Motherhood is not lost due to cancers. I have been waiting for the deep acceptance of this feeling so that the horrible pain inside the gut of my spirit would be healed. I’ve been telling myself this almost every day to get through each day emotionally for …
Forgiveness | painting strokes back and forth over the names inside the hearts reminds me that forgiveness takes time for me; otherwise I don’t fully heal.

What I love about expressive arts (ExA)is there is no judgment, you don’t look at the art to question the artist on what and why. Because we are all human and if we’ve never been trained in art, we can be very self-critical, doubt ourselves for no reason and lose confidence as we are building …
En Casa Art Advocacy Story… Advocacy doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and perseverance. It’s also a commitment and comes from building relationships. And those relationships tend to be about a connection of people and an openness to give and receive of time and energy. My business life taught me to be a better advocate …
I got use to our cat leaving us “gifts” at our old house. But I wasn’t prepared yesterday for this baby squirrel to be left on the back patio of our new house. Not only was it left there, but whatever was flying with it had ran into the glass door and splattered itself too. …
This week and next I will have my annual scans. I’ve learned to be real about them, but not focus and worry about them. I’ve also learned not to carry or hold worry about the worry that other people bring with them to my situation when I let them know it’s scan time. Because if …
