I'm excited. I've been planning a new project about color that I'm going to post on one of my other blogs. It currently houses some paintings and photos. I don't think I'll take those down, but I want to write short and spiritual nonfiction or prose poetry (and free verse) about each color, and in … Continue reading New Color Project?

Collage to Relieve Anxiety
So much less Instagram
Since deleting my trad wife Instagram, I feel freer. I made friends there - some I will keep up with other ways and others I'll just miss. But I won't miss dealing with the daily drama and arguments and some people who are so unhinged as to make me look like a normie. A lot … Continue reading So much less Instagram
A Relaxing Weekend
Saturday we went to my favorite restaurant on the island to celebrate my Confirmation. We then went to the beach to take pictures. I'll post those tomorrow. Today we relaxed. OCIA was canceled (it runs through the end of Easter). We got pizza and hung out. A and I watched Say Yes to the Dress … Continue reading A Relaxing Weekend

Ideally, such a society would practice lectio divina daily. There would be weekly meetings to share or critique work. There would be some element of public service related to … Continue reading Catholic Lay Creative Order

Interview and 2 Paintings
Today, after dusting the blinds but before bathroom cleaning, I got to pull out my acrylic paints. This morning I was interviewed about trad beliefs by an audio journalism masters student. The premise of the assignment was to interview someone you don't agree with. She promised it wouldn't be confrontational, and she kept her promise. … Continue reading Interview and 2 Paintings
Art Therapy and Photography
Today I checked out the small, local scrapbooking store. It was cute and I found a few things I wanted, as did A. I've gotten into collaging in a gluebook this week. For my glue book I'm using a rainbow Crayola composition book C got me at the office supply store. It's a start. I've … Continue reading Art Therapy and Photography
