Freedom is a practice

Posted on July 5, 2020 by keishua

Last night, i had a dream in dreams that I received a comment about how spacey, rambling and incomplete my work is here. In my dream, i was not hurt but i wanted to justify but something stopped me…and then i woke up. This morning my mantra was something about being inherently valuable (thank you… Continue reading

Evidence

Posted on April 25, 2020 by keishua

I keep trying to write this post but everything feels to trite and preachy. I am listening to the some cello music that makes me feel so relaxed…i can’t even believe it. I just finished collecting and putting up my older journals in my archives. It felt so good to go down memory lane and… Continue reading

Showing up, a rambling of sorts

Posted on March 5, 2020 by keishua

What i want to tell you is that life has been so strange these past six months. Not in a bad way. In a wonderfully hard way. Healing requires a bit of elbow grease and loads of self-compassion. Some days are better than others. Some days, I forget I was ever “sick” and then other… Continue reading

Daily gratitude

Posted on November 6, 2019 by keishua

There are a few gratitude challenges running this month that I enjoy- illustrated faith + in(courage). I started with the latter but found the illustrated faith one soon after. I really just like to read the scriptures associated with the prompts. It is a way for me ….to have a plan so to speak for… Continue reading

Happy accidents

Posted on October 11, 2019 by keishua

I downloaded the hipstamatic app again. Gah. It’s so fun. & My kiddos love taking pictures with it because of the filters.Today I was playing around with it and doing and exercise from “get unstuck” by Danielle krysa (the jealous creator). The toddler played happily in the couch and chalkboard (🥴🤗).I remember how I use… Continue reading

I have been slowly working through a creative bug class about creative block.Yes, I know…I don’t think I’m creatively blocked 👀🤔🤦🏿‍♀️ but it’s a fun and simple class.Plus, it’s motivated me to get my paints out. So there’s that.More inspiration—Also, Loving this podcastThis sermonSimone biles is the… Continue reading

Mindful

Posted on October 8, 2019 by keishua

Being mindful in our creative practice, by actively choosing to prioritize the space and time for ourselves, brings attention to our internal core. Focusing on even just one thing makes us slow down a little from the rush of everyday life. Mindful making is about more than simply stitching or knitting something beautiful it is… Continue reading

this is art, too

Posted on October 7, 2019 by keishua

the truth is I can’t keep up. I don’t know how I use to paint every night when the toddler was a baby. maybe it was just excitement but lately, I can really go ages without picking up a paintbrush. I am sort of relieved that it is not an obsession anymore and also perplexed.… Continue reading
