Awake With Zeal
A place you can cook a pot of dreams & have your appetite be fed. A place you can rest your head & cleanse your mind /spirit of worldly poisons.
4:30am my alarm goes off, I open my eyes, groggy, feeling lazy & super comfortable under my sheets. I curl up into a ball, go as deep as I can under my duvet & anywhere between 10-30 minutes I give God thanks. Today I’ve been given a fresh new start to work at my goals, to try something new, to make someone laugh at my silly & quirky personality; a brand new day to be a better me. Life hasn’t always been easy, as I’m sure it hasn’t been for you too. I always need that reminder that if I made it through the last struggle I can damn well do it again! As crazy as it may seem in the moment, these are things that have built my foundation of Faith, Hope & Love.
This prayer of thanks didn’t always come easy for me; I had to make it a habit. I’m known as a night owl, going to bed late & waking up before the sunrises. I get up in a hurry, shower, drink some tea & have a small bite to eat before I rush out the door. But I realized, in the waking minutes, when my spirit is finding its way back into my rib cage I needed to open my heart & my mind to God. That thin thread between the dreamer & the wake is as tender & fragile as a new born. Even those few minutes where I’m half awake, trying to remember what day it is & what I have planned, these things do not matter! What matters is being THANKFUL for another waking day, to start off my day on a positive high and not a negative low, to be humble & remember that this very moment may be my last.
This will be a place where you can come be inspired & feel loved through art & design. I’m a believer of Loving Yourself first to then be capable of Loving Others. I’ll be touching on random thoughts & stories, I promise it wont be boring. There will be raw honesty, spicy passion, pillows filled with dreams, baskets of art & hopefully an overflow of smiles.
We need to be able to work together, not against each other. We need to truly care about our needs & the needs of others. Just as your heart was once broken so have others. Just as you wished someone would listen, guaranteed someone you know needs your ears today. Just as you have a friend to laugh with & correct you when you’re on the wrong path, that person you dislike may need that too.
I want this to be a place we can both call Home, mi casa su casa.

I started this theme around my love for Powerful Women. The goal is to paint as many women that inspire me daily. But, I decided to start with myself. If one must spread Love one must Love
