Lately, I’ve been noticing something inside me that feels hard to explain.
It’s not exactly a thought.
It’s not logic.
It’s not even something I can clearly put into words.
It feels more like an energy in my body.
A hesitation.
There is a certain kind of heaviness & internal resistance that shows up when I am close to finishing a class.

There’s something about reaching the halfway point of a project.
You’re no longer figuring things out from the beginning… but you’re also not at the end yet. You’re somewhere in between—more settled, a little more trusting of your process.
I’ve completed Days 1 to 50 of my 100-day book, and now I’ve turned the book around to begin the second half—Days 51 to 100.
In this post, I’m sharing how I created the cover pages of each booklet using collage papers, layering papers and fabrics, letting textures overlap, and then finishing each page with a small, quiet focal point.
Nothing too planned. Just responding to what’s in front of me.

There’s a moment that many artists don’t talk about.
You sit down to paint.
You begin with openness, maybe even excitement.
And then something shifts.
The painting doesn’t go the way you imagined.
The colors don’t sit right.
The composition feels off.
It starts to look… wrong.
There’s a confusing moment many people experience as their income grows.
On paper, things look better. You’re earning more than you ever have before.
And yet…
You still hesitate over small amounts
You save in ways that don’t even make sense anymore
You sometimes spend more than needed — just to feel normal again

I recently attended an online webinar by Bob Proctor, and something shifted in me — not in a loud, dramatic way, but in a quiet, unsettling, deeply honest way.
Because what I realized is this:
I don’t lack ideas.
I don’t lack talent.
I don’t lack opportunities.
I lack alignment.
And once you see that, you can’t unsee it.

If you’ve been following my work for a while, you’ve mostly seen my hands — painting, layering, stitching, building pages.
But not so much my face or me talking about myself.
This conversation with Kate for the Making Zen retreat is one of those rare spaces where I sat down and shared my journey openly — not just what I do, but how I think, how I arrived here, and what truly shifted things for me.

Over the last few months, I’ve been noticing something about myself.
My mind has a habit.
It goes straight to the problem.
Not slowly. Not occasionally.
Automatically.
Something doesn’t work → I start thinking why it’s not working.
What’s wrong.
What’s missing.
What I don’t have.
