A couple of my first original drawings (not taught in @eckyo.me’s class)! I thought of this because of a typo I made in an email — though I’m sure I’m not the first — and thought it would be cute to illustrate in #procreate. When I started the class a couple days ago, I was eager to learn how to draw people but drawing food is so much fun!
I've always wanted to learn how to draw, and
"Money can't buy happiness but it can buy ice cream and that's basically the same thing"
#whatsfordinner was a point of friction in my home for a while. I used to grimace when asked, "What's for dinner?" and if I didn't have an answer, I'd be flooded by guilt, anger, and frustration, though I didn't know why. While my inner exploration was an important part of resolving the situation, @anielsen's simple change has made dinnertime easy. Link in the bio for his elegant solution to this daily conundrum.
#Love is a funny word.
Last year, I started purging with the #KonMari Method just like I did in 2017. This time, nothing sparked joy when I held it, and everything somehow ended up in the donation bin — even things that I’d previously cherished. Naturally, as we grow and change, what sparks joy for us will also change, but, well, I panicked a little. Link in bio for how I decluttered when the KonMari Method didn't work.
