Continue reading →: Self portrait update, poems, the daily writing prompt, and setting my weekly intentions.
So I am still painting self portraits, but I’m trying not to share them with anyone because my perfectionistic anxiety came back after I shared last time. It became really miserable to paint again and I avoided doing it for several days. I need to not have any expectations of…

Continue reading →: Poem, portrait, the daily writing prompt, job interview, and a mid-week update on my weekly intentions.
So I’ve been writing every day and most days I have done a portrait. Yesterday’s portrait was a bit of a failure, but I worked on it again today and I like it a bit better. Still not worth sharing though. The one below is Monday’s portrait. Going to start…

Continue reading →: A few poems, new daily self portrait project, the daily writing prompt, I’ve been published recently, and job interviews.
Here are some poems. I’ve been writing every day, but not everything is worth sharing so I just picked a few recent ones that I liked. I started a self portrait project where I do a self portrait a day until Fall. Not sure where this is taking me yet,…

Continue reading →: A few poems, the daily writing prompt, I’m being published, and the job hunt.
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? I haven’t eaten at a really fancy restaurant before. The most I spend is for a special Christmas Eve dinner for about 90 a person (it’s a special holiday menu so everything is one price). We…

Continue reading →: Job Interviews
So I had two job interviews yesterday. One at 9am and one at 1pm. The second one was a formal interview after having passed a screening interview. The first interview went well. I feel I talked clearly and coherently, didn’t fumble over my words or anything. I felt confident and…

Continue reading →: Two of my poems, the daily writing prompt, job interviews, and a poem my friend wrote.
Here are two poems I wrote. I’ve been really prolific and have been producing a poem a day thereabouts. I am taking today off because I have job interviews all day and I don’t want to get into an emotional headspace. Poetry can dredge up emotion and repressed feelings, so…

Continue reading →: Poem, the daily writing prompt, plans for art making, and plans for the next 3 months.
What’s the story behind your nickname? Some people call me Mar, short for Mary. My husband and my uncle both occasionally use that form of my name. It’s not an official nickname because only two people really use it. I have decided to take a 3 month break from art…

Continue reading →: Poetry, the daily writing prompt, and things I would like to do today.
What would you change about modern society? There are many things wrong with modern society. Inequity, climate destruction, and overpopulation just to name a few. I’m not sure what not to fix about modern society. It’s very dysfunctional on a large scale and we are digging our own grave literally…

What foods would you like to make? I’m not much of a cook. As much as I like food, I hate cooking it. My meals are incredibly simple and quick. I find if I keep it easy, I won’t eat out as much. For awhile I was ordering Hello Fresh…

Continue reading →: 6 Month Mark for New Years Resolutions
It’s the 6 month mark for my New Year’s Resolutions and I’d like to clarify my goals relating to my three core values.

Continue reading →: Poems- May through August 2025
For the rest of spring and for summer I’m trying to get 1 to 2 poems done a week. If I can do more, great, but I’m not pressuring myself to produce an entire piece on a daily basis.

Continue reading →: Poems (Hollow Places and The Door Downstairs), Bosch study update, the daily writing prompt, my three core values and progress towards living them, guests coming to stay, and spring photos.
I wrote two poems last week and so far this week I have written one so my goal as far as writing goes has been achieved (I’m aiming for 1 to 2 poems a week). Yesterday and the day before I picked up my Bosch study and got some of…

Continue reading →: Alterations in my New Year’s resolutions.
I’d like to align my New Years Resolutions with my three core values that I identified in my self compassion workbook. These are the three things that matter most to me in the world and I want to prioritize them in my every day life. Core values in the form…

Continue reading →: Poem (Mary Walks Amid The Thorn), the daily writing prompt, running, some spring pictures, and my mid-week intention review.
I wrote this poem based off a 16th century Christmas carol by the same name. List your top 5 favorite fruits. So I can run again. According to my doctor, running does not cause osteoarthritis (in my case it’s genetic) and actually helps it so I started up again today.…

Continue reading →: Catching up (it’s been awhile), I was published, a poem (Weatherman), two paintings, the daily writing prompt, some photos from my walk (spring flowers)
It’s been awhile since I updated this blog. A lot has happened. I had a health scare where my calf swelled up and they thought it was a blood clot and I was rushed in for an ultrasound which luckily ruled that out. However I do have a bakers cyst…
