— mean
— cutting
— demeaning
— demoralizing

. . . I am no longer trying to please. 
Let it go. Let it go. Let it go.

My GRIEF is over wasting so much time.
(getting along, getting through)
(ignoring my instinct)

I LOVE MYSELF — I had to love myself. It took [a life]time and practice.

10,000 Plum Doodles Project 

I often use scribbles as the genesis for a painting. These squiggles carry energy for me, and on their own, they tell a story. I call them plums because they are little treats for my imagination. I will continue adding to this project until I have reached 10,000 drawings.

John S. Hall’s 10,000 Poems Project inspired me – but rather than writing – I decided to collect my drawings. Sometimes I write when I doodle, and sometimes I share the writing as well.
