Success card drawn. The 6 of Disks. It speaks to me of blossoming, blooming. A process of realization fully supported. It feels good! And I am reminded of the speech I gave as Salutatorian during my high school graduation encouraging my classmates to define what success is for them and forge their own paths toward their dreams supported by the lessons we had learned. Not the ideal of “success” we get spoon fed or sold through media and marketing, but the success that will nourish our souls. I’m at peace tonight, happy with where I am on my path, dropping resistances, trusting my intuition, and divine timing. #wealthalchemy #success #thothtarot #tigerseye #flurite #kyanite #rhodonite #moonstone #support #peace #uniquepath #divinetiming #trust #intuition #blooming (at Thomasville, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTJecAMrV-I/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another intuitive art piece, this one made for @kjirdarling. She opened it on an Instagram live so I got to see her reaction in real time which is something that I don’t normally get to experience. Still makes me smile and warms my cold little heart (it’s saved somewhere on her feed if you want to check it out - also check out some of her other stuff, she is super cool).

Talk to Kirstin for 2 minutes and you’ll understand why it had to be a moon 🌚

My last day at my job is the 16th, and I am admittedly nervous. It’s hard to walk away from something that has 1) provided a lot of financial stability as well as health insurance and other benefits and 2) society tells you is everything you should want from a job. But I want more and I want things that the company I work for can’t provide. I want more than a steady income that allows me to get by with a little leftover to squirrel away fro a rainy day. I want to have an income that allows me to thrive, to travel, to invest in myself. I want to have the flexibility to care for my mental and physical health, and my home, and pursue my dreams. At the end of the day, my art has been put on the back burner for the past few years because I was pursuing what society told me I should value, and as my partner can tell you, chasing after that instead of following my heart has lead to me being very stressed for the past 4 years. I’m ready to create beautiful things, be they embroidery (like my customized collar) or painting or maybe even finally learning how to cook. If you want to support me in my new adventures, links to my Etsy and Pateon are in the linktree in my bio. Both will be getting more attention here in the immediate future and I am excited to share how everything goes. #artist #newadventure #readyforwhatisnext #manifesting #embroidery #selfievideo #leavingmyjob #straightstitch #frenchknots #personalized #customized #blueshirt #collaredshirt #pixiecut #shorthair #pnwartist #stitchwitch #wealthalchemy https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5rdmIh91L/?igshid=1rt04f7mlemqg

Thanks to an amazing group of people who are also participating in a social media visibility challenge as part of our involvement in the WEALTH program created by @carolynelliott_ my Instagram has a lot of new followers. So, a refresher introduction is in order. My name is Zayda Fleming. I am an artist and an aesthetically motivated person. I primarily work with ink and watercolors but I am planning on experimenting with acrylic paint in the near future. I was raised in a conservative Christian setting but left that path about 5 years ago. I am a feminist. I believe Black Lives Matter. I believe that the history we are taught in this country is heavily skewed by white supremacy, white fragility, and white exceptionalism in the curriculum. I am also a bookworm with a particular obsession with Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, and an anime fan. I have 3 tattoos and I definitely want more. As some of you may have read in previous post descriptions, I have anxiety, mild depression, a wonderful cat, a supportive partner, and a desire to embody my fullest self. If you want to support my journey, my Etsy store and Patreon are accessible via the linktree in my bio, or DM me if you are interested in commissioning an artwork. Oh and just in case you don’t read the hashtags, I’m a witch.

I have been thinking a lot recently about my background beliefs about success. And my main thoughts have boiled down to there is a difference between hard work and suffering. You Do Not Have To Suffer To Be Successful. Even,and perhaps even especially, if what you want to be successful at is art. I know “suffering” is highly subjective. In my case, at this time, it is feeling stuck and stressed and feeling a lot of internal pressure about how I perceive I should be coping with external pressures. It is being in a place where I do not want to move up the hierarchy in my workplace and hating change enough that I have not actively tried to alter my circumstances. And until I confront my belief that success and even simply adulthood implies a level of suffering- nothing is going to change because there is a part of me that is deeply satisfied that it is getting exactly what it believes is required. In other thoughts, I should totally revisit this art style. I always enjoyed making drippy line nude figures... #wealthalchemy #existentialkink #success #successful #lineart #artist #figure #reductionistart #linefigure #body #watercolor #watercolorpainting #zaydaliciousdesigns #zaydalicious #BrownOnWhiteOnBrown https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6hU5VBN-L/?igshid=uudi8q6dvdal

In my life, the thing I have most consistently called myself is Artist. I even went to school and got a piece of paper saying I have been educated in the ways of drawing. Since graduating I have struggled with creating regularly. The stress, concerns, and obligations of adulthood have strapped my energy and drained my creativity. But the desire is still there. When I visualize what I want the future to look like, it involves an airy art studio and an art show. All this is to say, I am an artist dealing with artist’s block and a fear of success. I fear that I do not deserve to turn my art into a livelihood. I’m afraid that there are other people who are more deserving any opportunity I might seize - which is silly because me holding myself back isn’t helping anyone. I fear that I have not “suffered” enough to be an artist - which is dumb because most artist’s we associate with being “tortured” did their best work while getting the mental help they needed (Van Gogh, Edvard Munch). Besides, in society adulthood is discussed as being all about having a steady job, benefits, and a 401k - not living month to month with a highly irregular pay stream. I am working on changing these ingrained attitudes. I am working on expanding my creativity skill sets so I can create in different ways (embroidery, getting back into painting, etc). Someday I’m sure I’ll look back in this period of my life and laugh at myself for taking it all so seriously. #wealthalchemy #lineart #minimalistart #linedrawing #ink #inklineart #inkdrawing #couples #embrace #kisses #hugs #partners #romance #artistthoughts #artistsblock #whoAmI #beinghonest #artdegree #afraidofsuccess #afraidoffailure #stuckinthemiddle https://www.instagram.com/p/CDosOyOhACi/?igshid=176m69z96pv0f

I was raised in the ways of social courtesy. If someone asks how you are doing you say good, no matter what is actually happening or how you really feel. The goal is to not upset others. Take care of everyone’s feelings but your own. I have spent vast swaths of my life tiptoeing around the feelings of others. I’m done. I am not interested in attracting or keeping the attention of people who can not handle it when I use my voice and power to communicate my truth. I am going to speak my truth and they can take it or leave it. Catering to how I think they will react has gotten my nowhere. Not in art, not in life. I have done a lot of self work and I am continuing to learn and grow and shift and change. I am not done learning how to access and wield my own power. But I have come to a place where I can believe that I have the right to speak bluntly. And if someone can’t handle that, they can leave. #wealthalchemy #doilywallart #doily #doilyart #witchwreath #witchyart #witchcrafts #embroideryhoop #embroiderythread #embroideryfloss #personaltruth #personalpower #honoringmyvoice #honoringmyfeelings #claimingmyspace #zaydalicious #zaydaliciousdesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/CDhCGrThadK/?igshid=wily7w22dpb

Large “DoilyHoop” Wall Art. I am doing a challenge to post something every day for the month of August. I think I am going to focus on using my voice in my posts. I have stayed silent on so many things on social media, wafting between feeling that I don’t owe the internet my opinions on everything and a fear that being authentically vocal could draw unwanted attention. But trolls are just a sign that people are reading/listening and taking you seriously. And as much as I want my page to be about my art, I have to recognize that I cannot separate my art from myself. And trying to do that online is going to leave the stories around my pieces incomplete. So brace yourselves for a whole lot of Zayda this Leo season. It’s gonna be a fun ride. #doilyart #doily #blackdoily #embroideryhoop #embroiderythread #embroideryfloss #wallart #doilywallart #wealthalchemy #witchcrafts #witchythings #findingmyvoice #innerpower https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZjSDLBzSG/?igshid=ybvrqg94v7nf

Virgo Birthday Dinner with mom’s friends (and our friend family) at Glen Arven last night was delightful! The flower arrangements in the center of the table were beautiful, food was delicious, and conversations were abundant and delightful! So much so that I forgot to take photos of it all. Everyone looked very beautiful too!! We pretty much had the dinning room to ourselves for most of the evening. Many thanks to my sister friend and mama’s other daughter Shelba 💚 who planned the gathering. It feels like there has been a shift in my way of relating which aligns nicely with the card I pulled for September 10th…Change: 2 of Pentacles. Less criticism and more appreciation, acceptance and surrender, while still being honest. It feels intradependent rather than codependent. It is at the same time strange and comfortable. The Libra moon feels like it has brought a balance. There is a softness and gentleness. As @Touse, a band whose music touches me, says in one of their songs “…and I know that good and bad both equally drain.” High sensations and times of celebration, weather we choose to judge events unfolding in our lives as good or bad, call for a period of rest following the activity. So Sweet Dreams and happy Virgo Season! Tomorrow we celebrate again! Love up those September birthday babies in your lives! It’s so beautiful to share the moments with you @sallijo alongside our other Virgo friends and family! [Image from a section of artwork by @brittenlarue ] The colors feel like the energy of our heart chakras mingling and mixing with earth and all things glowing green on this planet! #birthdaycelebration #birthdayweekend #birthdaymonth #virgoseason #wealthalchemy #change #tranformation #shift #subtle #intradependence #liberation (at Thomasville, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTrG-JUrH7I/?utm_medium=tumblr

Look who I found today removing broken branches from my grandmother’s yard. This hairy little creature will be transforming soon. I am reminded of the biology teacher who challenged my ideals of beauty by asking “…is the caterpillar, and chrysalis not also beautiful?” In response to a phrase in my paper about how beautiful the butterfly and moth were. The thoughts this question inspired led me to a deep appreciation of all forms embodied along the span of the metamorphic process! All phases of the cycle from birth to little death to rebirth to final death. Embracing the present moment lightly and accepting change. It brings a sweet peace. #wealthalchemy #metamorphosis #inspiration #caterpillar #macrolens #oloclip #lifelessons #beautyconcepts #reimagine (at Fitzgerald, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTTpdy2LVWu/?utm_medium=tumblr

I finally got around to it!! September 1st: In alignment with Virgo energies of organization and details I spent over 9 hours last night/this morning sorting and categorizing my dad’s paperwork and medical bills (plus some odd and ends thing found in the drawers of the master bedroom suit that once belonged to my grandparents, his parents. I get in bed at 4:44am feeling satisfied, and pretty accomplished. Now to complete the process for my dad and myself later this month when I return to California! #aroundtuit #organizing #filing #details #assetmanagement #wealthalchemy #satisfaction (at Fitzgerald, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTTn9L4rgRw/?utm_medium=tumblr

August 31st: Grandma cooked a roast for hours this morning while I slept after a long night of organizing paperwork left in the drawers of my dad’s room in her home. It was so tender and delicious! Paired with peas from my Uncle’s garden. A beautiful bouquet of flowers her friend brought by from her yard. Squash casserole, mash potatoes w/ gravy, Greek style spinach salad, and organic peaches atop pound cake. #wealthalchemy #blessed #homecookedfeast #bouquetoffreshflowers #grandmashouse #familytime (at Fitzgerald, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTQ2hTZL7Gj/?utm_medium=tumblr

August 30: Made it to Grandma’s house on an easeful MoonDay. Slept in a little hazily recalling murky dreams after a night spent packing and organizing. Had breakfast with mom, loaded the larger suit cases into her car, she is so graciously allowing me to borrow so I can drive myself and dad to see other family all over Georgia and Tennessee. Showered, slowly and ease-fully did my hair, and make-up. Ate lunch with mom and John, my plus-dad. Drove to Tifton to get my dad from the assisted living facility he was doing a trial stay at over the past week. Checked to make sure he packed everything and finished up the last details. Said farewell to his childhood friend who lives there. Got a quick tour of the place. Drove to Fitzgerald and made it to Grandma’s for dinner. Organized the closet and drawers in dad’s room to make more space and clear the clutter left from past trips. How bitter sweet were the feelings of sorrow that arose as memories were unlocked when reading old birthday cards, coming across childhood photos, buttons, pins, and little relics of the life we once lived. He is still with us and I can’t imagine going through this process once he is gone. Something a friend has had to do recently as his beloved partner surrendered to a long fought battle with cancer. What my dad ran away from after my step-mom died of Cancer only a few months after his father, my grandpa, passed away peacefully in his sleep after loosing his mind to dementia and Alzheimer’s. I accept that death is part of the cycles and portals we all pass through. And though I have faith that the soul and spirit are eternal, there is a delicious melancholic nostalgia that arises within me when reminded of what was, possessing a knowing things will continue to shift and change. These vessels are finite. Each phase fading into the next. Even the photos of my little niece and cousins brought a sigh and realization of the fleeting present that is now the past. I can’t wait to embrace my niece next week and witness her personality blooming in real time. A delightful treat of more time and presence! #cherisheachmoment #fleetinglife #grandmashouse #allthefeels #wealthalchemy (at Fitzgerald, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTOjCPUr-Zo/?utm_medium=tumblr
