Self-Acceptance
I didn’t like very much about myself for a very long time. I was scared and insecure for a good chunk of my life. I didn’t find myself to be anything special until after I had my first child.

L’ art pour L’ art
L’ art pour L’art This translates to Art for Art’s sake. It is an expression that according to Wikipedia means “‘true’ art is utterly independent of any and all social values and utilitarian function, be that didactic, moral, or political.

Keep Going
Keep going! I’m telling you that you’re closer than you think. There was so many times where I pretty much gave up on life. I was turned off by hope. I was turned off by joy. I was just not happy.

That Friday Feelin
Today felt like a Friday. Such a strange feeling because for a decade as a stay-at-home mom, it didn’t matter what day of the week it was. I was always on mom duty.
