Currently October 2021

October was equally fun as it was stressful and overwhelming.  Going through the ups and downs with insurance and mammograms and biopsy, wiped me out emotionally.  On the bright side,  I was able to do a lot of art with friends, read a book, participated in a virtual book club. I also got a physical and bloodwork was done so HOORAY for not putting things off. 

In October, I participated in a drawing challenge- #theydrawandcook

31 days of food-related prompts!  I used part of the template from my monthly calendar (cut it out to make a grid!) and drew a small 1-inch square drawing every day. I LOVED IT!  It kept me thinking about all of the foods we eat this time of year.

It also reminded me how much I love making art a daily practice.

Dream Life:

I think I got some of my lucid dreaming skills back this month. It’s been a while! I really need to keep a journal next to my bed to write them down when I wake up.  I end up with a lot of deja vu throughout the day because of my dreams. I think my Mom was in one of my dreams too. Someone morphed into her while I was talking to them and I remember being WHOA YOU’RE MOM NOW!  I wish I could remember who that someone was.
