Grateful

I wrote a blog post on the first of the year about the word – grateful. I have been under a lot of pressure lately with finding a home in detroit city with my credit score bullshit, getting balance with my art gallery in Colombia and trying to manage an agency & my body, alone. Finding safety and security has always been my biggest issue, especially traveling international borders consistently. I’m face to trust in people that I just met — which makes me vulnerable. Trusting people based on your instincts in that moment is emotional intelligence.

I told myself this word would be how I carry my life every day – to be grateful of the life that I’m creating but humble because not everybody gets to do what they want to do when they wake up every day. But then, I started slipping and taking advantage of people who would be good in my lifestyle. It was like a bomb dropped on me this weekend to tell me to wake the F up. I’m being pulled in 5000 directions again, lawsuits, car lease ends, crutch & shoes broke over the weekend, my art gallery in South America ends in two days-not sure where that’s going to go. My first Detroit showcase is in two days. give me this time to shine because the pop-up gallery on Thursday is the only thing that is keeping me going right now. 💎 unfortunately, I am back in the wreckless mode which I like to call survival. #lifemoments #begrateful#thankyoumini 😘

Home isn’t always four walls

People have been asking me why I’m struggling so much with finding a place of peace. The answer isn’t simple, but it is honest. For the past several weeks, my home has been campgrounds, fairgrounds, church parking lots, travel centers, rest stops, and wherever I can safely park for the night. If you had told [...]
