Hi everyone! This summer is currently off to a great start! I’m very elated about some recent good news and progress in my life–new condo, new job, and new art store business. I’m trying to learn from previous mistakes that have caused me much heartache. And so, being older and wiser (now being 30 and all), I’ve set the intention that this year will be about growth, confidence, and wisdom.
Found this quote online and it really resonates with me right now. I think that as I move on with my career and life, this becomes more apparent in my daily interactions with others. Not to say that I don’t care about what others have to say, however, I do find that I am becoming more sure of myself and it feels great to say that aloud. I have moments of doubt, but they are not anywhere close to what it used to be. I can definitely say that there are some things that I know, and some that I don’t know; and that’s ok with me. 
Like for instance, this whole art store business and marketing! Who knew I would be into this stuff? This is something I never planned on, but I must say, I am having lots of creative fun with it. From creating my website from scratch, learning how to work with inventory, packaging, shipping, branding, learning about automations, analytics reports, marketing my goods (LOL :P, sorry can’t help it–I’m still 12 at heart), and figuring out how ads work–is SO MUCH FUN!!! Best of all, from this experience I’ve been able to reconnect with old friends and have been asked to work on some commissioned projects. I am definitely excited to share those projects with you all in the upcoming few days! A lot is happening all at once, but this is nothing new in my world. I live for moments like these, and I’m just glad that the chaos is a creative and positive one. 
Did I mention I became a homeowner amidst all this? @.@
LOL!
Here are some photos from my new condo in downtown Sacramento:
Indeed, on to the next chapter. Be well!
