again I been lapse in writing in this blog,,,life gets so darn crazy busy. Well, I digress.
I have moved to the west coast in hopes of getting my art out there and sold. I now live in a artsy town of Saugatuck.
I was in for a shock when I moved here,,little did I know about lake effect snow,,,I soon found out that it snows nearly EVERY SINGLE DAY here! I like snow, you all know me, the sporting person who plays in all weather,,,but everyday? Wow!
I rallied after realizing there was nothing I could do about this happening short of moving again. I found I could hike in the snow,,,quite peaceful; as well as cross country ski (did that a lot).
The other thing I found hard to deal with was the isolation. I moved up here not knowing a soul. No close by relatives or any friends. In mid winter there was nothing much social to do as the town I moved to isnt a winter town,,,and most businesses were closed for the winter,,,pretty dead around here really. Fortunately I found a "home" in a local spiritual center; Spirit Space.
When I went there the first time, I was apprehensive but soon found my fears were unwarrented. I have felt very comfortable here in this place,,,the people are kind and warm to me and make me feel at home. I been attending 2 times a week since!
Other fun things I been up to are getting my artwork in a gallery downtown; in hopes of selling it this summer during the tourist season. I also got a PT job to be trained as a INN KEEPER! Ive never done this in my life,,,but am pretty sure I can excel at it, as I am server at heart.
I also started a new jewelry line, made of beach glass and mother of pearl shells.(see image below) If you "like" my artist page www.facebook.com/jlotheartist you can see these pieces as well as my digital artistry that I continue to do. I hope to post more fun things as I get to know my new home town soon! Take care you all,,,,,,,j~lo the artist
