In between the layers of HTML codes

In the past couple of weeks I have been diligently (I was just told that diligence is one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues) revising my website to reflect who I feel I am today.  Sitting in a chair, in front of my computer screen, and working away.  My butt and neck were getting sore.  I am soooo happy to say that it is done, minus a little tweaking here and there.  I pushed the publish button today.  Please take a moment to go check it out.  http://www.teresacashart.com. 

I am taking myself more seriously as an artist and making a shift in my thinking process.  This is who I am.  This is what I am meant to be doing.  The business side of me being an artist has always been a awkward for me to navigate.  Yet the truth is... in order for me to pursue my dream and earn a living from it the business side is imperative.

Now that I am done with my website I am 100% aware of the importance of creating art everyday.  

Here are the 3 pieces of art I created in between layers of HTML codes.  Aware (the angel below) is framed and in my store ready for a new home.

eyes opened a little wider

I went for my routine annual mammogram today.  I changed from my street clothes to the "ever so stylish white robe that opens in the front" and I made my way to the small waiting area where other women were seated.   We were all in the infamous robe waiting for our name to be called.  Normally I would pick up a magazine to leaf thru, this time I didn't.  I sat glancing at the other woman in the room.  In that short while, I formed a deeper appreciation of humanity. We may come in different sizes, shapes, colors, and be in different stages in our lives but when the exterior is taken away we are primarily the same. 
  It's just amazes me what can be seen when you open your eyes (and heart)  just a little wider!

And then.....I heard my name being called and ladies we all know what happened next!
