Two!


It kind of took on a life of its own.

I watched it slowly grow....evolving into something MORE.

What was originally supposed to be an online gallery for my artwork, turned into a haven to express my thoughts, creativity, and fears along the way.

I'm talking about my blog of course and today it turns two-years-old!

Two doodle!

There were many times where I felt stuck in life and wanted to delete this blog but am glad I never did. For I soon learned it's a powerful tool for becoming unstuck.

With that said, I'm anxious and nervous and excited to see what develops as my blog continues to get older.

Only time will tell!

Happy Birthday, Exploding Doughnut!!

I know I'm a little late to the game, just discovered our blog a few months ago and just read this post today, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Now that your blog has hit it's terrible twos I'm looking forward to it's growth into the threes.

I've loved the artwork, the creativity and the honest words that have inspired, encouraged and sometimes helped me on my own journey.

I look forward to every step and turn you take.
