2/30 Connected (January 03)

...and we are all connected to each other, in a circle, in a hoop that never ends Disney's Pocahontas)... Is it a hoop or a loop? Nonetheless, the meaning is the same. That is, the choices that we make, whether selfishly or selflessly, affect everyone around us. We may be insignificant in this big world, but we still matter. People matter. You matter.

So this has started out as as visual art challenge, however, after 2 entries I think I'm leaning more on the inspirational side of things. Let's see where this challenge ends up. For a 10-minute artwork, I do hope I'll get better with my doodles and scribbles.

xoxo,

Update: unfortunately I haven't been able to finish this challenge. Looking forward to next year's challenges though. :)

A Fresh Start for 2018

2017 went by so fast. Some things may have been left unsaid, goals unmet, and lists unchecked. I for one have a lot of unfinished business. The thing is, I started making lists and plans, and that was it. The stress of preparing to make something took the best of me... and now all I have are lists. Lists of what I should have done. Plans on how to better myslef. In the end what ifs and maybes are all that come into mind. A new look and outlook for 2018. For this year I intend to change my strategy. I have learned that I cannot do everything myself, and not everything has to be perfect and by the book. Moreover, I should be able to take it one day at a time. I must savor the challenges that each day has to bring, and with determination and will... make things happen. Here are the 5 (MATCH) steps that will guide me as I embark on a fruitful year: 1.

On Doodles and Scribbles

Tired of always looking at you cellphone? Why not try a new hobby, or rather, rekindle an old flame? Remember those boring classes in high school where your notes were made up of swirls and lines? Apparently doodling and scribbling has returned along with other forms of art like zentangle, calligraphy, and watercolor -a great topic for another blog post, yey!
