The Little Things

Little Things

~ turn into big things

I skipped last weeks Muse Update and most of my social media posting. I am really trying to work on that Grand Cleanse you can read about in my previous entry. What to keep, what to drop, what to do and what to work on when things are tough.

Do you ever struggle with yourself? I mean struggle with the things you have chosen to do or neglected to do.…

The Grand Cleanse

It is raining outside. The sound of the rain is like a gentle lullaby calling me into a nap. My favorite cup of tea is near me, untouched, but I can taste the smell. These dismal type of days are my comfort days. My body just wants to find a couch somewhere and dig deep into a book, sip tea while being serenaded by mother nature as she gently cleanses the land.

I am not sure where I picked…

Renegade or Rebel

I have been doing research for a book I am writing. Something that I stumbled upon that I find really interesting are the differences between a Renegade and a Rebel. They are so similar, yet – not the same. For the project I have in the works, the differences are keys to unlock small defining truths.

Many know me online as TheLadyRenegade. I could have been easily TheLadyRebel. There is a…

Philosoph-me

It has been a fight – no correction, a struggle. I am not really fighting much of anything, but the struggling is exhausting. Life tosses us curve balls that shine a light on how we are really doing in life. That light brings introspection.

There are so many different philosophies to living and my struggle for the longest time used to be, “Which one is the right one?” I was always worried…

6 Tips To Live Through A Socially Awkward Encounter

Which Book?

Which Book? Help me chose what to read.

Hey!

I have this long list of books to read. When I say long list, I mean it is over fifty books long. I realized I have not been reading like I did in the past and I really need to get back into reading.

Reading is such an important thing to do. It opens our minds, introduces new words into our vocabulary, presents us with concepts, ideas and many different kinds of thoughts. When we…

Welcome Back

Welcome Back! Back to the things I love now that personal & business are separated.

It has been a while…..

There has been a lot going on, things I have been working on and working through.

One of the major things is starting a new business.  This is a brand new world for me in a way.  A new business built grass roots start up style has put me in a position to apply things I have learned and to stretch me in ways I could never imagine.

One of the first things I realized is that I…

Of Life & Honor

Of Life & Honor - A story bit with watercolor exercise.

Myisha faced her father, partially in defiance but also in respect. He had given her the hardest lessons of all. Love isn’t always tender. Sometimes it is a double-edged sword that slices deep within.

She knew his intent was to get her to stop, to bring her back home to that suffocating mindless droning life.

“They say everything has already been created under the sun. So, what is the point in…

Of Dreams

The wings of dreams Moves through the Moonlight

The dreamer of dreams Silently slumbers Away the eve

The darkness of dreams Fades into The light

Glitter shimmers Of dreams no more

The Thoughtfulness Project

The people in our lives help make life precious, add to our purpose and provide us with a support system.  We each have our own people.  In my life, the holiday season is usually when I get to socialize with and see my people.  There are people that I do not get to see and socialize with frequently that are good friends of mine.  My family and friends, my people, truly inspire me daily.

This made…

Week 1 ~ Recap

Week 1 ~ Recap

We have made it through the first week of the new year!  Yayyyy!

I feel good having something to work on, although, it is a little overwhelming.  I keep reminding myself to do what I can do and that is GOOD enough.  The magic is in the little bit done everyday.  The rest will follow.  I cannot do everything all at one time.  My brain and body would love to disagree with that.

Work is going okay. …

Happy New Year!

May 2019 bring you pleasant adventures that lead to living a truly good life.  I hope this year is our (yours and mine) best year yet.

Some may think that this post is another set of resolutions for the new year, but truly, it is simply a matter of timing.  2018 was an incredible year for me.  It was incredible in moments of pleasure and pain.  I experienced some of my happiest…

The Start of the Nebulae Series

The Start of the Nebulae Series

Everyone that knows me understands my love for space, scifi, Star Trek and Star Wars. My mind is constantly in the stars. Sadly, one of my childhood dreams was never accomplished. I remember reading (back in the late 80’s) there were plans to have a space station with nurses on it by 2012. I wanted to be on it. Alas, I had no direct route that I could see to college at that time.

Space has always…

Project Description: This is for my everyday artwork creation. The goal is to create two new pieces a month. These will be medium to larger size pieces. They can be painting, drawings, pottery, sculpture or digital works.

Works of this size usually take time to concept, test, research and settle on a design. These are not for fun, but are actual pieces with…
