chasing places

This has been a huge change to me... change and an giant remake of my place... i do really wish this could be faster, but all process takes time. I finally could make it to afford the makeover that i've been dream on, yes, was a big effort, yes, my family is helping me in some way and i'm so grateful with all of them, yes, i finally could find someone that can help me to make this changes and he is so honest working on it, cuz is a big hard work, yes, i earned a lot, taking several jobs to do this makeover and i'm so thankful with all the people that help me in several ways... but in the mean time, i'm still here, busy as bee, working on my paintings, on my classes and taking jobs in between... wish me luck and all the best, i'm still doing what i can and keeping my way to get the art studio of my dreams...luv you people!

 

home is...

 almost two years since covid started, life changed us in different ways, i feel like i've been learning a lot and still a way to go to stay learning, caring, loving, teaching, helping, changing, healing in so many ways
Two years and so and i feel so grateful for a lot of things, for my mom and dad, my family, friends, work, health and home..
i'm growing and learning and also makes me feel so overwhelmed, new places, new people and situations but i feel so lucky to have a home to come back... 
home is a refugee, a place to rebuilt myself, a cozy area to growth so i'm gonna fill it up with joy, love, happiness and gratitud

Bless my mornings

Every day is the same, run from here to there, make a routine, keep everything ready, make some meals, rushing and hurrying myself to not to be late, i do that 6 days a week some days are more in a rush than other but always the quite the same
Today was the day that i can totally make the time to cook and prepare my breakfast as if it was a ritual.. Boiling water for my coffee, gathering all the ingredients, wash all the dishes and just take my time for enjoying simply moments like this...
so bless my mornings and keep me doing this more often...

 

soon i'll move

 There is a place that waits for me... There is a place i've been working on for it... There is a place that be back alive again... There is a place where i'll be work on... There is a place that will be a refugee... There is a place where soon i'll call home...
I've been working quite hard this last 5 years and soon i'll see some reward... my parents helps me a lot but the effort and hard work is done by me.. i just bought a place... is still in progress, i couldn't do it without them, i couldn't do it without my siblings, i couldn't do it without my friends...
Almost 4 years ago, after been kicked out from a place, literally to the street, i went back to my parents house, dealing with depression, low selfsteem and heartbroken i put a goal (was several goals actually) 
Rebuilding myself is one of the hardest work i have ever been doing... so wish me luck, wish me the best, send good vibes, and send love because i already started...

almost a year...

It's almost a year since this pandemic situation is testing some skills and feelings, like if we can stay at home, living along with family, partners, roommates or so... How long we stand each other, or how long we can stand ourselves... is been hard if you are the social type that get along with everybody and now you've got to stay away to avoid contact or infection.. it also makes me thing to value simple things in our places, to also see that some "needs" are not really a needs, like making compulsive purchases of trendy clothes...
What i miss now is just nothing to do about buying things, i miss friends and family, i value my home, my family and friends and my health, i miss to travel, hanging out with friends, i miss hugs...
What we say with friends: we were happy and we didn't knew it... 
stay at home and stay healthy

 

thanks museums...

I should it go more often to the museums.. i say it to myself quite often but then... routine, errands, weekends must be the days to plan a visit to the museums but then, i guess is that lately my daily basis are quite full... i split myself in two jobs, my time to keep painting, reading, having family time, hobbies.... but then, a visit to the museum reminds me why i should keep working on my art, encourage myself and my friends to keep creating and making art.... 

in March we march...

Let's make it clear, in 8 of March is not a celebration, we commemorate women, women who fight, who rise and demand better salary and better jobs, more education, public charges and more opportunities in the society... So this may be some books that me and some girl friends recommend to read... not because are feminist books but because books may be the answer, it also may be a heal, a company, a partner, a light, a step, a reason and may be also the word that we can't express by ourselves ....

Love will be the reason

I meet Julie when i was a teenager, we became so close and share the same sense of humor, interests and dunno i guess our friendship matches because... i guess some friendships can last...
We went to the same high school, different classes and even had a little rough time because we were in love of the same guy hahaha....

So college was a different story, we barely seen each other but also life put our friendship back, we give each other the update of our lives while we were in college and after that ... we saw again to talk about our lives and jobs and loves and else
Then we worked together for the book fair, we make a team! we were like partners in crime!!
Did i already told you that she was roommate of my brother?! well they were and they also they hang out well...
So yesterday was her wedding and i couldn't be more happy for her! she get married with a wonderful women and i'm so proud for them!

so i guess friendship can be like that, they can last and change or evolve in something always better and great

oh me oh my...

i've been really busy lately!! oh me, oh my..! can't complain about that.. i've been sewing like maniac, spending time working outside, spare my time between working and else i barely had time for taking deep breath and put myself down working on my paintings... yes, i had 3 exhibitions almost in row... planing my workshop and taking classes and also workshops... yes, i love to be in workshop as a student! is quite nice! i really really enjoy taking classes! i won't stop doing it, i'll should take more and more... my last courses was about making soaps, having a herb garden and i'm planing more and more... yasss i miss school...! did i mention that i had a really nasty flu? well i was under medication and i feel so much better now... plans ahead?! what do you expect!? of course more work and classes and workshop... wish me luck!!

PS i barely could finish the books i'll use for my workshop in the international book fair... oh me, oh my...!

just a thought...

I've been busy, busy like a crazy, busy like a bee!! not so long ago i had a horrible panic attack or a breakdown or both... i couldn't handle it so i call a friend to help me out and she did... i'm doing pretty good and pretty well right now (although i felt really crashed tho..!) then after, i was thinking what makes me feel that way, in that day, in that moment, i think that i may already know what... so is like that 2 ways, or face it again so i can grab the bull by the horns or avoid it... then this is my thought, not so long ago i was really anxious to stay busy and really busy so i can stay awake and away of some feelings and here i am with that, except that i forgot to ask also for another things... if you really wish something, ask for it but also don't for get for more tools or ask for some other things! otherwise you'll be so overwhelmed like me...!

dare to do new things...

Part of the reason to write this post is that i finally dare myself to do something that in some way scares me, or beyond of feel scared is more like i feel insecure.. I'm gonna explain it better, well, i encourage myself to learn english not with an language academy but myself, translating songs, books, phrases, and losing my fear to speak to someone who is native with the language, and of course english speakers won't mock me or bite be, because (or is what i think..) people celebrate the effort and enthusiasm on the learners.. After opening my etsy shop, the description of every item and things that i create is just a big task! seriously! and something that i love is vintage... VINTAGE 💖 clothes, shoes, everything vintage! i always wanted to sell something vintage, but then, the english issue! how i'm gonna describe something vintage!?, well, after so many time, i introduce to you, some of my latest treasures that i'm gonna sell on my etsy shop.. Yeah Sir!!!
