I have declared the following words my way of life.

Live Smarter Not Harder means doing what is good for your soul. Gossip and worry are not good for your soul. I was listening to the TED talk, and it was about starting with why. I have certainly been asking why I am here on this planet and why I make art.

Here is my statement:

I believe that making art and being surrounded by beautiful color and gardens ignite my curiosity and individuality, and make my world better.

This is the reason for the words I write and the art I make. That is all I have ever wanted. If I am not working on my art or going for long walks, then my world suffers.

Art brings people together like songs. You don’t need fancy tools, and everyone can do it!

Art makes me feel like I am flying by the seat of my soul.

Oh, that’s right, due to copyright, I can’t continue this project, so I have a workaround.

Art helps me declutter my mind and realize that I am a wonder to be held because I am.

We are always learning and growing. Somehow things work out, but in the meantime, you can imagine and dream.

So, I move forward with all my ideas and love. This is what I believe in, and from that, all I want and expect from life makes sense.

What do you believe? How is that related to your quality of life?

Thank you for being here.
