ART YOGA PLAY

Drawing, journaling, reading and daydreaming sometimes in cute cafes or just on my couch with that air conditioning on full blast. 😍😍😍I’m finally indulging in a much needed today. Do you know people who make you feel guilty for making , , or your goals a priority?

Ugh! The pressure of life, work & other more “practical duties” can sometimes convince me that I don’t have time for messing around. But as a depression and anxiety survivor, my is & must be a priority.

If I don’t give myself the space to manage my anxiety and have copious amounts of time to experiment with my art or other random indulgences, things start going sour pretty quickly.

My weekly artist dates, art practice and random adventures to the beach are a way I can make sure that my proclivity for achievement, competition or people-pleasing DOES NOT get the best of me. 🤍 We can not give to others what we ourselves do not have. And, that is including your energy, peace, happiness, creativity and finances. ✌🏾🙋🏻‍♀️😍✨🌞💕

Cos if you are gonna meditate, make art and practice yoga, I hope you do it with like-minded souls at our Tulum Retreat. 🌴🌞🌴🌞 Yes, it’s official and I are planning a magical Mayan adventure this fall.

Join us for our Tulum Retreat on Thu Nov 10-Sun Nov 13. We’ll spend 4 days and 3 nights diving deep into art, tarot, numerology and yoga in the Riviera Maya. We’ll bask in the energetic vibes of 11/11 (Nov 11), indulge in self care, swim in underwater caves and explore the beauty of the Yucatán. 🇲🇽Give yourself a well-deserved break before the craziness of the holiday season starts. It’s not too late to DM me or Val to get more info. Space is limited.

As we go through the overwhelming amount if responses & inquiries (a good problem to have! 💕), Val and I will be sending out info and details very soon.

Thanks for your excitement, patience and willingness to yourself with us. 🌴🌞💕😍

Here we grow again! Honored to be a presenter at the 4th annual Fresh Arts Summit on August 19-20. 🤍 I’ll be sharing ways & CARDS can be used in the creative process.

If you know an artist seeking ways to grow professionally, invite them to join me and for an incredible line-up of many other talented creatives here in Houston.

From being an attendee at the 2019 Fresh Arts Summit to being a graduate of the 2022 Artist Inc program, I am grateful for the mentorship, resources and professional skills Fresh Arts has given me as an emerging artist and for my business ARTYOGAPLAY.

Happy birthday, Albert.

Because if Pocahontas was your yoga teacher, it would be me. See you at the Swan!

Creative people need pockets of unplanned time. Time for exploring. Space for staring at old buildings. And, the energy to engage parts of our souls. Thanks exploring the with me, Rachel. 💜

Even though I find solace in going away & discovering new spaces, I must remember the most important place that I can travel to is this space within myself.

I have spent the last few months experimenting, observing and getting curious with my relationship to the practice. And, sometimes, the brave thing to do is to not come up with a perfect and polished answer. That can be hard for me especially if I think people expect me to have my s**t together & to have precise classes.

I’m not a performer or a robot. I like the beauty in the confusion and the changes. Instead of immediate quick-fix answers, yoga and meditation just gives me a space within me to sit with my questions.

When you have that don’t care feeling…

Anyone else out there crazy enough to believe in yourself? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️Maybe it’s an Aries thing, but once I get an idea in my head, I have to see it through. The picture becomes clear. I honestly don’t care about the noise, the Debbie Downer critics or how it looks to others.

If I’m gonna do something, I’m stubborn enough to actually keep going for it and find my path. Is it time to get out of your own way? Do you intimately know your strengths and pitfalls? And, do you trust yourself ?💜💜💜💜
