Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them. Some of the best human beings I know have been through so much at the hands of others, and they still love deeply, they still care. Sometimes, it’s the people who have been hurt the most who refuse to be hardened in this world, because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they have felt. If that isn’t something to be in awe of, I don’t know what is.

Keep on loving!

There's a big difference between people who can love you right and others who don't.

JEREMIAH S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 32

Wednesday, 7/3/24

SCRIPTURE:

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them:  I will never stop doing good for them.  I will put a desire in their hearts to worship Me, and they will never leave Me.  I will find joy doing good for them and will faithfully and wholeheartedly replant them in this land. ~Jeremiah 32:40-41

OBSERVATION:

An everlasting - never ending covenant...

...with them - with me!

Never stop doing good - for me...

A desire in me to worship Him...

...stay with Him...

He finds joy in doing good for me...

He is faithful and wholehearted for me...

Jesus is the proof of all of this... (as if I could question Him...)

APPLICATION:

Follow the desires He has replanted in me...

Worship Him...

Never leave Him...

PRAYER: (Verses 17-20)

O Sovereign Lord!  You made the heavens and earth by Your strong hand and powerful arm.  Nothing is too hard for You!  You show unfailing love to thousands... You are the great and powerful God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.  You have all wisdom and do great and mighty miracles.  You see the conduct of all people, and you give them what they deserve.  You performed miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt—things still remembered to this day!  And You have continued to do great miracles in Israel and all around the world.  You have made Your name famous to this day. Thank You for Your grace given through Your Son, Jesus - In His Name, and for Your glory and honor...

For Him... for you... for yours...

Day 371 Art Meditation, February 22, 2024

I am completely behind on my monthly plans beginning February 1st: one new writing piece, 1 new art series, photography art piece, paper sculpture, paper dress - all to go into an art video, plus new merch. But every day my heart-intuition speaks to me in new terrifying ways, and I apparently need to be able to have the time to listen, feel strength from it, move it over to my personal yes-bucket, and build up the courage to do it.  

Some of you have been following me long enough to remember a few years ago, on this All-lines-are-beautiful journey, I had an online store that only carried my photography prints. I was SO excited at the time to figure out that I could DO something with ALL the photos I took, which came from ALL the walks I took in the middle of the day on weekdays, while I was dealing with ALL the job rejections over the course of 10 years. 

When I set out to “follow my Heart” 10 years ago, I thought that meant having another normal (happy) design job, live in the city I love (SF), and be creative on the side. I had no idea that following your heart is the hardest thing to do, and it isn’t just 2 things.

Now I see that time I had as a gift. Now I take walks as much as I can, and I always take photos, and make art from it. Just not as fast as I would like.  I would never have done this if I had not had the last ten years of my life, or gotten the full time job I thought I wanted.

The key thing is making and doing what I CAN control and let go of the things I can’t control. I have a computer, I love being a graphic designer, so use it.

Now I have things in my store that come from my Heart. The more we are aware of our Heart-spaces, the more we can be aware of our ego-space. Awareness is the only tiny thing we need to shift into our hearts … MORE.

More recently, I discovered I can include my photography art as wrapping paper for my online store. AND - my first photography heart-themed DRESS. 

See store link here!… Which includes baked goods for my California people, ‘Lemon Goldies with Chocolate Hats’ and ‘Heart Cookies with Rosehip’.

Wholeheartedly, 

Anne

2023 OCTOBER 01 Sunday

"The doors are open for all who sincerely and wholeheartedly return to God; indeed, the Father is most willing to welcome back a truly repentant son or daughter. The result of true repentance, however, is that you do not fall into the same faults again, but utterly uproot from your souls the sins for which you consider yourself worthy of death. When these have been destroyed God will again dwell within you. By repenting we condemn our past misdeeds and beg forgiveness of the Father, the only one who can in his mercy undo what has been done, and wipe away our past sins with the dew of his Spirit."

~ Saint Clement of Alexandria, Homily “How can the rich be saved?”, 39-40

Serving the Higher Purpose: Colossians 3:23

🌟 "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men." - Colossians 3:23 NKJV 🌟 This powerful verse reminds us that our efforts and dedication should be directed toward honoring God in everything we do. Whether in our studies, careers, relationships, or daily tasks, let's strive to give our best as if we are serving the Lord Himself. The results might not always be immediate, but when we work with a heart filled with faith, we can trust that our actions make a positive difference according to His plan. Let's make every moment count by working with purpose and devotion to reflect God's love and excellence in all areas of our lives. 🙏❤️ #Colossians323 #WorkForTheLord #FaithInAction

The Privilege

The air was difficult to breathe; heavy with tension and with a denseness of uncertainty.  The fear of the unknown and the anxiety stifling our very breath.  We stood in unity, hands held, watching with anticipation. As the following moments unfolded, I witnessed something so beautiful it is hard to capture in written words. Yesterday both of the boys were with their dad as he was removed from…

One-volume binding of Shimeji Simulation, one of my favorite mangas of all time. Folio size, Polar Duo, metallic silver HTV + case (with a little hole so you can see the girls being tender together 💙)

I made this one for a friend who mentioned that he'd be interested in reading the manga, but preferred to read manga in physical form. There's no licensed English translation OR print run of this, so I decided to make my own - I downloaded the Orchesc/a/ns translation/scan on MangaDex, compiled it all into a single volume, and reversed the PDF page order before imposing it into signature-form, so it can be read right-to-left, as intended! The edge art is hand-drawn by me, meant to mimic those geometric doodles that show up throughout the story. Hand-sewn headbands, to pull it together! And a little mushroom + fish charm bookmark, because OBVIOUSLY!

Fun fact: this is the first book I've ever bound that's been too chunky to fit in my home guillotine. It was nearly too big for my bookpress, too - but only nearly.

I’m honestly.. I was gonna say falling for her but it’s not even like falling it’s more like elevating and becoming full. So not falling but, somehow I think I’ve always loved her and always will.
