My Sacred Life: Day 10
Yoga class always comes right when I need it the most. During the ending meditation my yoga instructor said: “Life is alive… it’s constantly changing and moving. Nothing stays the same. There is no real stability except for the fact that things are not stable. And that’s what makes it life.” [...]

More monstery monstrosities went into the Monster Mash Gallery this morning… Super cool!
TWO MORE DAYS LEFT to submit yours! Get em in, get em in!

My Sacred Life: Day 9
You know you have a good family when they sacrifice their vacation time to do 3 days of back-breaking work to help you out. You put out the distress call and immediately they are there… hammers, nails, drills, paint-brushes, and senses of humor in hand. It was like an Amish barn [...]

There are a ton of new submissions in the Monster Mash contest. Check them out when you get a moment (click on the gallery)… they look so great! And you still have time to submit one of your own… 12 days to be exact. C’mon and play!

In case you haven’t noticed, you are looking at a brand new shiny penelope illustration website! (If you can’t see it, refresh your browser or clear your cache). Oh man… am I excited about it!
This new site is built entirely in WordPress, with the help of Brianna Privett of Utopian.net. (Well, I say “help”, [...]

My Sacred Life: Day 7
Yesterday it was so nice and cool outside, I was able to set out my yoga mat and do some asanas under the big blue. So wonderful. I felt my skin smiling.

Thank you guys for offering up your stories of where you live and [...]

My Sacred Life: Day 6
Yesterday flew by. I was restless and unfocused (oh well). But my moment of grace came when my friend Maria texted to ask if I wanted to take a walk around the neighborhood. So we did – she, her daughter and her doggers, and me and Vince. It was chaotic, and [...]

Yeah, I’m just going to blog all day because you know why… I DON’T FEEL LIKE WORKING! Ha!
Procrastination cha cha cha. (okay, I feel a little bad. stop looking at me.)
In the mail today I got samples of my new postcards going out to art directors and designers and people with my future in their [...]

My Sacred Life: Day 5
Anytime you want your brain to slow down… to just be… to sit right there in that very moment and just be still?… give me fire. I’ve been sitting by fires my entire life, and it never fails to calm me. Mesmerized by fire… as a little girl camping with my [...]

My Sacred Life: Day 4
Yesterday definitely classified as what I’m gonna call: A fill day. A day when my cup was filled all the way back up. I needed that… I’ve had too many pour days lately! (And I like to imagine myself with a physical cup in my hands, putting good things in and [...]

My Sacred Life: Day 3
Yesterday the funk finally defunkified. I was patient with myself (for once). I had a wonderful conversation with a beautiful girl. I reached out to another friend in need (love to you, k). And I mama-beared myself.
My river walk always helps (and I’ve skipped it all week!). Something about being out [...]

My Sacred Life: Day 2
Yesterday’s moment of grace came late last night. All week I’ve been fighting the yuck… things bubbling beneath the surface that I’m just not ready to look at yet (whole diff story that I’m not sure if I can/want to share). Colin worked late, so I was, of course, distracting myself [...]

My Sacred Life: Day 1
Noah doesn’t usually come up to my studio because he’d rather lay in the sunshine by the window (can you blame him?). Yesterday he decided to grace me with his presence… hello furry butt. It was my moment of grace because I had been busy coding content into my new site [...]
