I have this "bad" habit of over-committing myself

I have this "bad" habit of over-committing myself TO MYSELF!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For instance, I am committed to creating art for an average of one hour a day, EVEN when working my 5-day a month day gig. Yet I had to let go of this during the last several days because 1) I wasn't feeling that well, and 2) when I tried to create during my lunch break on Tuesday, I pushed myself to do art, rather than being in joy as i did it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have so many self-commitments, and although they are all meant for my ultimate good, sometimes they feel like a mean boss pushing me into something that isn't always appropriate for the moment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SO TODAY I'm focused on finishing my 5-day a month day gig in a grounded sane way, which means not cramming art into my 45 minute lunch break. TOMORROW I trust I'll have the energy to jump back into my sacred art studio and continue my new series of abstract figures.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does anyone else over commit themselves to THEMSELVES? Would love to know that I'm not that only one! Anyone else have a mean internal boss pushing them around?

This post is dedicated to so many of you who have

This post is dedicated to so many of you who have become my friend because of our almost daily connection on IG, even though I have met very few of you in person.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I started posting to IG in 2015, I NEVER thought genuine friendships would develop with those I follow and/or those that follow me. Yet, that is exactly what’s happened.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I could list over a hundred, yet these are the sweet souls that honor my journey by checking in at least several times a week, many daily.

Who do YOU consider a friend on IG?
I would be honored if you tagged them in the comments to help spread love across the planet today.

The collage painting I'm holding, "Sisters by choice", will be released as part of the "At Peace" collection on Feb 11 at 11am est to find the person it was made to honor.

After 5 glorious weeks as a full time artist, it i

Today is not only my 100th consecutive day posting

Today is not only my 100th consecutive day posting to Instagram (challenge met!), but MUCH MORE importantly, it's also the day we remember and amplify the legacy of a true American hero and leader, Martin Luther King.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I read this quote from Dr. King in the @antiracismdaily newsletter this morning that deeply resonated ...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May the US presidential inauguration on Wednesday be a positive step in the direction of this extreme shift in values.

This collage painting, "Now is the time", was created in the middle of the racial reckoning this past summer, and will be released to find the person it was destined to support and inspire on February 11.
