Creating
Hey guys! I am an artist from Texas. I am a wife, and mother of three sons. I feel most alive when I am creating. Art has been an outlet for me since I was very young. It has proven to be the best therapy I've ever had. Creating allows me to get in mindset to work out what may be going on in my head. It's easy to get caught up in the stress of life. And it can be hard for me to sort out my thoughts and regroup. Getting in my studio and drawing or painting is essential for me. Some of my best work has come from working out emotions in my head while creating. While drawing is how I prefer to create, I also enjoy painting, photography, sewing, and crafting.
Writing
I felt from an early age that I needed to write. I have written enough to have a few books by now. Writing about my own experiences, and lessons I've learned. Short stories, poems, and just my thoughts on various subjects. I had a website for women several years back. I wrote articles concerning subjects women face. It was very rewarding seeing the impact it made on others. Eventually I had to let that site go. Life changed as it always does.
My hope is to challenge and inspire others to use their skill set and life experiences to grow. Everything we go through makes up the person we are today. It can be a stumbling block or a steppingstone. We all have a story worth sharing. I have no doubt that each one of you has an experience someone else needs to hear.
What does Eye Awaken Mean?
It has so many meanings to me. But in a nutshell, Eye Awaken is to wake up the mind's eye. The place where our imagination lives. It's where we envision, create, and dreams are possible. It's looking beyond our circumstances. Beyond what we think limits us, and what we've been taught.
To disengage auto pilot and be conscious of the impact we are making. Good or bad. To be mindful and self-aware.
To allow yourself to step outside the box of how you've always done things. To be a dreamer. To stop putting off that thing you always wanted to do. That it is possible fix the things about yourself you wish were different. We live in a world that entertains us continually. It is easy to be distracted from being conscious and mindful. We have all of the power within ourselves to change anything we want. We can create and bring life, or we can destroy and tear down. Perspective is everything! I hope to convey this with my art, as well as my writing.
I Challenge You!
As adults we tend to let fear stop us more than children do. Fear of what others will say or think if we make a change. There's a certain freedom that happens when you allow yourself to step over the threshold of society's constraints. Look beyond what holds you back from moving forward. Don't let circumstances or others stop you.
I want to challenge you this week. Would you consider yourself to be the best version of you? If not, are you willing to step outside of the box of comfort? Sometimes it's the hardest thing to do, but absolutely worth it.
I'm prompting you to explore what the best version of you looks like. What would be different? Take some time to think about what that change might do to improve your life and those around you. I would love to hear your thoughts, and challenges. Perhaps I could provide another set of eyes to help you achieve your own vision for the future. I encourage you to share!
I will be posting new a Eye Awaken Daily each week.
