This month I find myself searching for direction. Complacency was easy for so long. I endeavor to reject complacency and the struggle to maintain focus ensues. Like a heatwave over hot asphalt, the vision appears to waver and shift and vanish. What did I see just down the way? I chastise myself for not having a more solid plan, a map to a destination. Oh hell, how about just a destination? But then I soothe myself with platitudes like, “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

Am I making excuses? Or is my organic approach and faith in the journey reasonable? I don’t have the answers to these questions. So, I am going to tell myself to “Put your Big Girl panties on and get back to work!” and for now, that work is continuing to explore and develop my artistic expression. Only through persistence and honesty can I continue to hone my own happiness and well-being. At the end of the day, perhaps this is the most worthwhile endeavor.

Regarding those daily exercises- I publish blog posts only a couple times a month. But I post my art almost daily on Instagram. You can follow me using the Instagram icon at the bottom of the page.
