Hi Reader,

I've been a hermit for the past few months and I have to admit, it's been glorious. It's been boring, quiet, and uneventful. When I was young that would have been a nightmare but now that I'm getting older and rarely have quiet moments. It's a kind of paradise. I'm wondering how you're doing these days.

Have you been giving yourself boring moments? I've spent hours sitting on my sunny porch just staring into nothing. I don't know if that's the reason I feel filled with energy and creativity as April approaches.

I wanted to pop in and say hello. I'm thinking of you. I'm wishing you well.

I'm getting better at listening to my spirit and to what drains and what nourishes. It's been hard to make time to just sit down and draw but I made myself carve out time this week. I illustrated a coloring page and drew it with pen and ink from start to finish.

I know that drawing things like this on a digital tablet is the most logical and efficient way to go. It's fast and versatile. However, my inner spirit felt sad and drained with the idea of it because I already spend 7+ hours a day on my computer a day for other work.

So here I am, illustrating in a possibly inefficient but ever fulfilling and nourishing way. What do you do that, although may be inefficient, it fills up your spirit?

New Blog Post! I've been wanting to keep a blog on my website and I finally published something on it. Read the story. Read Blog Post

Moments I Treasure this week:

• A failed Egg Noodle recipe attempt
​- Lesson learned: a rolling pin is a must, and make them as thin as possible. Our egg noodles were too thick to eat, haha, but now we know how to improve on our next attempt.

• Beach walks​
- I've been de-stressing after long days in front of the screen by driving to the beach and walking to see the sunset. It fills me with gratitude for life and the world.

• Friends reaching out to me to check-in, hang-out, after a lifetime of being the one always initiating. Allowing others to love me!
