Creative Vibes for Me

It is a bright sunny Sunday here in the middle of the United States.

I slept well and woke up feeling okay. The usual aches and pains but it is manageable with some stretching and ibuprofen.

I have not heard from my person since Thursday of last week, I assume he is okay. He is a grown man and can handle his own so I’m not worried, annoyed that we haven’t talked, but not worried.

I got up and did my usual routine of making my bed, fixing my hair, getting dressed, and fixing a hot beverage, usually coffee, but today it is hot tea.

Afterwards I checked my stats on my new YouTube channel, some more views, one new subscriber, and then checked the YouTube accounts that I follow. It is all a part of my 55 day challenge of changing my outlook on things and trying to stay out of the negative head space that I have constantly been in the past few years.

To use the time I have every day to focus on creative endeavors and to share what I create. To boost those creatives vibes for me.

I created a YouTube channel not only for all the projects that I complete along the way but also to share thoughts, opinions, and ideas.

This is my corresponding Instagram profile to share art projects:

Along the way I also added the links to my other Instagram accounts that were created for specific projects such as writing, beadwork, cake decorating and sugar art:

Those original Instagram accounts are currently being updated and revamped to move older creative projects to the new account. It has been a time focused project of not only doing updates but creating something new. All a learning process that has not only kept my focus but keeps me busy.

It has helped greatly with my moods, emotions, and overthinking. I was afraid that if I did not find something else to focus on that it could lead to spiraling down. Thankfully, that has not happened in a very long time but the risk is always there, just muted in the background.

I do not have a set goal in mind, like reach 100k subscribers or a million views, which I think is the main reason why I am not worried about whether it becomes successful or not. It is a part of my creative process and provides the opportunity to share what I create.

Similar to when I was teaching cake decorating and sugar art while competing in the same art form. That was one of my most exciting and happiest moments, being around like minded individuals. It was that focus on creating that helped me come out of the darkness that I was in. It reminded me that in spite of the chaotic world we live in, there is always calm to be found.

I know there are pressing issues in the world today, wars, poverty, homelessness, crime, bias, racism, and injustice. In so-called “Civilized Societies” these will always be there until the illusion of power is unveiled, corruption caused by greed is dismantled, and indifferences are humanized. Just my two cents on that subject.

In those brief moments of creativity, I find it easier to breathe when I’m looking at vibrant shade of color, a sparkly thing, or something that makes you go “Wow!”. It reminds me that despite all the ugliness there are still beautiful things in the world too. You cannot have one without the other.

As I go forward, there are less days ahead of me than what I have already left behind. I have done all the things that “society” expected me to do and even went beyond the norms. It is time to find what makes my soul happy.

I may never accomplished those lofty goals of creating a world of peace, justice, and harmony.

In my own little world, I can make something that creates smiles, happiness, and joy.

In my own little part of the world, I can start conversations, motivate others, and support those that need that extra push.

That is my purpose now.

Thank you for stopping by and supporting my blog.

Have a fabulous week!

Peace, love, happiness, and creative vibes to you, always!
