Makeup less, reading glasses on, and a home-cut bang job. Did I even brush my hair today? 😆 I can't be sure. Guess it's me these days. 🔥💕 You? 'Bout the same? Good, we're on the same page.😜⁠

🇺🇸💕 As we have such great collective suff

🇺🇸💕 As we have such great collective suffering right now, I find so much comfort in the beauty, creativity, and ingenuity of what it means to live a creative life. Or to be a recipient of a creative life. I remember what it feels like to go to the theater, to eat beautiful food made with care, or to meander through a well-curated shop. I think about masterfully laid out gardens, created in layers of texture and color, with vignettes around every corner. I reflect on my own deepening understanding and pride of what it means to be a creative. It wasn't that long ago that I felt embarrassed of my creative thinking. Today, I can't help but to recognize the gift of beauty and healing that creativity is to the world. I know we aren't through and out to the other side of SO many things going on in the world. ⁠
There's a heavy burden right now that I don't want to diminish. Lots to think about and pay attention to. But I know that any dose of creativity makes me feel a little better, bringing me hope and it's something I feel grateful for. Does it feel that way to you too?💕⁠

First project of the year. A little #wanderlust202

First project of the year. A little #wanderlust2021 week 1 with a “word of the year” thrown in for good measure. Do you pick a word of the year? In true artist form, it came to me in a dream. I saw it in an art journal, the word COURAGE in big letters all the way across. To tell you the truth I wasn’t going to pick a word. I’m kinda tired of feeling boxed into the parameters of one word for some reason. Usually I’m very inspired by it. But I think it’s a big season of change and revamping in my life. Things feel very expansive which is sorta scary and that’s weird too. I’m almost an empty nester and we’re talking all about next steps and new identities. It’s exciting and daunting. And of course there’s a thousand other things going on too. So I’ll take a dose of courage!👌 #shaymichellestudios #wanderlust2021class #artjournaling #artjournalpages #artjournals #wordoftheyear #floridaartists

LAST CALL!! Wanderlust 2021 closes today! Imagine

AND it's finished! Here's my Wanderlust 2021 proje

Who's planning for 2021? I'm in the camp of choos

Who's planning for 2021? I'm in the camp of choosing a word of the year/setting goals/making plans. I love fresh starts and possibilities. But this year? It feels so different. I feel much more relaxed about things. But also exhausted and uncertain from all that is 2020. This year has been crazy town and it's hard to gather my thoughts for what the heck next year might look like. So, instead of lofty goals around organization, business, and to do's, my goals look a little different this year.⁠
⁠
🍰 Make 12 desserts, one per month. I'm not a baker, AT ALL! Too much precision. But I miss eating dessert at restaurants. You know, the kind you wouldn't make at home. So I'm gonna try that one on this year.⁠
⁠
📗Write/draw in my journal more often. No, not every day. Are you crazy? Haha! The pressure! But often. I can do that. I've been doing that lately and loving it. Journaling is something I did a lot growing up but not as much as an adult. I've really enjoyed picking the practice up again. It's helped me to process what's going on and see things in a new way. Plus I do a little collage/watercolor/drawing or maybe just some stickers on the page so that's fun too. It's a new page each day so lots of room to experiment.⁠
⁠
🎨 Catch up on all those art classes I've signed up for. They look so good and I want to take advantage!⁠
⁠
I don't know about you, but I've got to let 2021 play itself out a bit before I can think about heavy-hitting goal setting. What about you? Where do you sit on this? ⁠
