My mantra for 2012. I chose a word rather than a list. I think it’s working quite well to be honest. It’s harder to keep up with a list, especially since i’m the biggest list maker ever. I make lists of lists. I got the idea to choose a word from a blog I recently started following, she is great by the way. Really inspiring With this word it inspired a natural list rather than a random list I would normally make and not stick to. I picked the word, or the word picked me, almost a month ago when I was going through a big purging period. I got rid of SO many useless things, and it felt great! So the natural list occurred, which only a few things have come to mind, but getting rid of all my useless crap was always at the top. Each month i’m going to to try my best to simplify a part of my life that needs structure. Like eating healthy! This month that is the goal, simplifying my diet! Finding recipes that are easy to make and call for few ingredients. I’m trying not to eat out as much to save money. I’ve already cooked two great recipes. Try them if you like! two bean vegetarian chili I swapped black beans for kidney beans. YOU MUST use the butternut squash, it’s just not the same without it. breakfast oatmeal bake

today was MUCH better than yesterday.

Around 3:00 something magical happened. I got a job! At a really cute restaurant in OKC. THEN I got two calls in a row for some graphic design work. AND I have a freelance meeting with my first CLIENT ever tomorrow morning. WOAH. All in all I only have one job so far ;) but keep your fingers crossed for the other three for me!

Yesterday I was feeling so down. I have been a lot lately. No calls back, some email responses but nothing to get really excited about. Now I know why everyone is more stressed after they graduate and say they want to go back to school. I’m not saying I want to go back quite yet though!

I can’t wait to move and get organized and then really start the next chapter of my life. It’s nice to get excited about this adventure all over again.

AND shout out to all my design friends—it seems like it was a good day for a lot of us! I know none of them, except 3 or 4, read this blog but i’m so proud of all you guys! GETTIN’ WORK DONE!!

Lastly I know I don’t normally share personal things on here so sorry if I have been annoying you lovely followers!

cute cover for mono block notebook. I love her illustrations. They have such simplicity to them but they are so detailed. I really need to work on being more detailed when I draw.
