Some of us were lucky enough to grow up in a state where the college football makes you pick a team. No matter which one you choose, you are still going to have an absolute blast before, during and after the Iron Bowl game. Bringing people together since 1893, so it's Roll Tide and War Eagle! 🏈

In a country that is doing everything it can to divide us, it's essential to fill your daily cup with love and compassion.
Consider pet adoption. I guarantee you won't feel helpless anymore; instead you will positively impact the life of a homeless animal and gain a best friend for life.

Who is speaking for the children? The children will inherit the future of America. It is up to us to speak for them; continue to protect them. Their access to education and fundamental human rights matter.
Rise America, the time for courage is now.

Life is strange, one minute we are dancing across the stars; the next minute, we are struggling to keep our heads above water. It's hard to be a human. When our world, our societies and our communities are suffering, we all suffer. Look inward for healing- be better to yourself. 🌍

Morning, it's that time of year to balance, breath and relax. It's been a rough 2025- I'm going to stay optimistic despite the daily news.
🌎 Go outside and have an adventure.
Cmon, let's go!

Portrait Study: 18x24, graphite on Strathmore 400 paper.
We need to get back to the garden.
We need to make more art to leave behind. I have missed seeing my fingers covered in graphite dust, the subtle smudges left upon my face. The well-worn shiny black kneaded eraser cradled in a ball.

Monday Morning has arrived.
For many of us, it has become a trigger to brace for another tumultuous week. America has grown weary from the nonstop political chaos. Yes, we are exhausted from of all it but that's their intention.
Suggestion: Create = less anxiety. Try 'doing' instead of 'being'.
