Happy New Year, welcome to my memoir, where I share my journey as an artist and almost everything that makes up who I am. Welcome to sharing my vulnerability, thoughts, joy and all things artsy.

This year, my goal is to live intentionally, especially in my spiritual walk. Looking back on 2024, I see how busy I was—so much so that I fell into the “Martha Syndrome,” forgetting to sit at the feet of my Father. It was a tough year, full of plenty gbas gbos because ups and downs cannot fully capture it, but I now realize how much harder it was because I lost touch with the Lifter of my burdens.

Jesus says, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” But somewhere along the way, I started carrying the weight myself, weight I didn’t have to carry at all or alone. I had forgotten that my Dad’s desire is that I live from His rest.

As I reflected on on my 2024, I felt a call to slow down. A friend gifted me a journal, and the Holy Spirit led me to Dutch Sheets’ book, The Pleasure of His Company. It reminded me that love is a choice, not just a feeling. Like any relationship, the “butterflies” return when we choose to spend time with the one we love, even when it’s not convenient.

This year, I’m focusing on what truly matters: spending time with Jesus. I don’t want to wake up with my craft on my mind; I want Christ to be my first thought. I want to bond with Him before I start my day and before I go to bed. I want His presence infused into everything I do.

I’m asking Holy Spirit to help me stay grounded, to keep choosing Him even when life gets busy. He is my peace, my joy, my everything—the relationship from which all else flows. This year, I’ll focus on what is necessary: sitting at His feet.

So you read all that, Thank you so much, I Hope it was an amazing and inspiring read. I would be expecting you back for more… muahhhhh
