I started this painting over the summer, and you might remember my OFTV of me creating it. I LOVE ferns, and Iβve been meaning to paint something over this, but Iβm terrified I wonβt like it and will ruin it, lol. So, Iβve had it sitting on my easel for a couple of weeks, thinking that maybe if I step back and admire it for a while, Iβll be inspired to add something to it. This has got me thinking about how it serves as a good metaphor for life. Sometimes, you need to take a step back and appreciate what you have; this perspective allows you to add to your life and make it a masterpiece. πΏπ

produce up to 5,000 coffee cherries a year! And can live for decades!! Plants are so cool!

2025-01-09 16:01:53 +0000 UTC View PostI'm so excited to be back in the classroom today! While my students might not be jumping for joy at their return, itβs heartwarming to see that they missed me a bit.
On a different note, I'm absolutely loving this green sweater; it gives me all the cozy vibes of moss! Did you know that mosses can absorb up to 20 times their weight in water? Just a little green fact to brighten your day! π
2025-01-03 16:25:08 +0000 UTC View PostIβm truly grateful for the chance to enjoy extended winter breaks. Teaching certainly comes with its advantages, and I cherish that. This time allowed me to catch up on reading, unwind, and tackle some household tasks. However, Iβm thrilled to return to my students and immerse ourselves in exciting new art projects! β¨
2025-01-02 19:54:29 +0000 UTC View PostIβm really looking to kick off 2025 on a positive note. One of my main goals for the year is to focus on taking better care of both my emotional and physical health. I know a lot of folks talk about New Yearβs resolutions, but for me, itβs less about that and more about seizing the fresh start that a new year brings. Itβs like a perfect opportunity to get things rolling in the right direction! I encourage you to write out a list of things you want to work on or manifest for the next year. Itβs never too late to do something better for yourself! Plus, having a list can help keep you motivated and remind you of what really matters to you. πππ
2025-01-01 18:12:21 +0000 UTC View PostWow, can you believe we're almost at 2025? This year has really zipped by! I'm so grateful for the chance to carry all the lessons I've learned in 2024 into the new year.
I also want to express my heartfelt thanks for this platform and for all the amazing people I've had the privilege of connecting with here. π

My passion for art goes beyond just sculpting, painting, and photography. Adorning my body with art is an experience that only those with tattoos can truly understand. Itβs a journey of transformation, allowing you to become a more authentic version of yourself by treating your body as a canvas and decorating it in your own unique style. β¨ what do you think?! Itβs still wrapped with βsecond skinβ but Iβll be able to take it off in a few days! π

Imagine loading up your cooler with your favorite snacks ππ₯€, packing the trunk of your car with all the essentials π, and embarking on an adventure into the serene woods of the Pisgah National Forest, just outside Asheville, NC π²π³.
As you arrive, towering pines and vibrant hardwoods surround you, creating a picturesque backdrop for your campsite. You set up your tent, the fabric contrasting beautifully with the lush greenery, and as the sun begins its descent, painting the sky in stunning hues of orange and pink π
, you gather firewood and stack it into a neat pile.
With a flicker and a spark, you light the fire π₯, and it crackles to life. The warm, flickering flames cast a gentle glow, illuminating your surroundings while the soothing sounds of nature embrace youβthe rustling leaves π, the distant call of an owl π¦, and the soft whisper of the evening breeze. The crisp, fresh air fills your lungs, wrapping you in a sense of peace and coziness as you settle in for a night under the stars.β¨
