New and New and New

Okay, I know I said on social media that I was going to do this blog about my photography journey, but I am just so excited about all the new things going on that I have to share them. I have been hard at work busting out new art and items for my shops and I am beyond ecstatic to share them with you all. If you don’t know, or are new here, I have two Etsy shops: ByNDPaintings and…

First Day of School! First Day of School! First Day of School!

I feel like Nemo on his first day, if you are a Disney/Pixar lover you will understand that reference, if not I am sorry, but you are just no fun. Just Kidding! So today is my official first day of my Masters program! Back to hitting the books, long papers, and stressing about tests. It will be a completely different mindset that I have not exercised in quite some time. I will be shifting from…

Hi and welcome back to this week’s blog; Organizing 2021. So lately, I have been feeling pretty manic. How do I know this? Well, if you have bipolar it is pretty obvious, endless energy, no sleep, racing thoughts, obsessions, etc. Okay, you may ask, how does this relate to organizing? Well, one of my key touch points or warning signs of telling I am manic is because I have endless energy, and we…

That New Year Mood

It’s that time of year again. The start of a new year is approaching, which means one of my most requested blogs is here; Goals. This year has looked very different than past years and we are going into 2021 with the same uncertainty and strange feeling we have had for most of this past year. So a different set of goals is bound to be an outcome of this strange year. I am always so excited and…

A Week of “To-Do’s”

Hi everyone.

It has been a couple of weeks, but I am back at it and in a creative headspace. A lot has happened between last time’s post and now, so I thought I would start by sharing that bit of information first. To start, I have very exciting news that I cannot yet share (I know what a buzz kill), but I will be sharing it with everyone very soon I promise. So while I have been prepping for…

Welcome back everyone. I am trying to stay as consistent as possible on writing, but to be honest a lot is going on and a lot is unknown at the moment so things tend to fall to the side. For now I will try to upload and write once a week if possible. And about the unknown stuff, that will be discussed in a blog coming very, very soon. It’s all good things I promise!

Well, we got our first snow…

Homesick For A Place I’ve Never Been

Have you ever felt such a strong attachment to a place you have yet to visit? A feeling of connection to a city you have never even been close to seeing? That is me with Paris. A feeling of homesickness for a place, country, city I have never called home.

I remember having this sense of connection ever since I had first heard of Paris, but even more when I started studying Art History. It was…

Skipping all of the formalities today, welcome, Yada Yada Yada.

Here we go, I had a stroke of genius creativity spark this last weekend. It was as if all of the universe was telling me to do the right things, which led me to this moment. The moment I fell back in love with creativity, the moment I fell back in love with photography, the moment I fell back in love with being me again.

I…

Goodmorning, Well most of you would be asleep while I write this, but thanks to a bout of insomnia I am wide awake and instead of staring at the ceiling for hours I got myself out of bed and am writing. No thanks to my sleeping pill, I am awake and bogged down with thoughts. This won’t be published until we are all awake and thriving so don’t worry you won’t miss anything. Today’s topic is going…

Saying Bye to Violet

Saying goodbye to Violet was one of the hardest things I have had to do lately.

We have some sad news, we had to put Violet up for adoption again. After a month trial period we came to the decision she was not the perfect fit for our little family. I cannot stress enough how great and sweet of a dog she is, there were reasons we just couldn’t get by to allow her to stay. She is so cute and…
