In today’s project, I used only a few colors and did a lot of mixing to get just the right colors. I love playing with paint.

I worked hard to get like each layer blended into the next like an old and grungy wall.

And at the last minute decided to a few flowers which didn’t really really seem to go but represented grace and was part of the story of the piece.

I had several quotes in my journaling this week but this one was the one I needed the most.

There are so many things happening right now that I felt like I wasn’t doing anything very well.

Once I really took this quote in and knew that all I needed to do today was be better than yesterday. I allowed myself some grace and a little breathing room to be human, to rest and just work on today.

And then show up again tomorrow and do the best I can. I share more about it in the video.
