This is a new artist trading card I created as a much needed reminder to myself to stay out of the path of crazymaking, simplify my self expectations and to remember there is benefit to being still during times of creation and growth:
As opportunities (and challenges) surface throughout this week, I hope to make stronger choices related to this ATC’s intention. Simplify. Be Still.

Being still is the hardest thing I know, and it gets harder as the stress level gets higher. I used to carry a keychain with the reminder: “Slow down. Take a breath.”

what do we do, to be somehow steady when it feels that all is loosening beneath our feet… even away from the quake zones?
to somehow move with grace, in the face of such upheaval, such breathtakingly fierce times in our world, how do we keep on gently moving forward? I feel such sadness for us and the earth right now. such a fragile time this is. a good time to paint! x
