I just took a Melatonin so I might go to sleep sometime tonight lol...but right now I am WIDE AWAKE!
Levi and I got our hair cut today from an awesome chick I went to high school with. It is so great to be able to support people you know in their talents. Laura did such an amazing job on both our hair. I can't stop looking at mine in the mirror. lol. Levi also looks super handsome :)
I had a dream the night before about the pit bulls that attacked me, and for whatever reason I can't seem to shake it out of my head...so I thought I would randomly talk about it now lol. I don't remember much about the dream except that they were back and they had gotten into the yard. I think one of them was in front of me again but I can't really remember.
Oh! Gabe just came over here and yawned at me, and I yawned too. Maybe the melatonin is working lol...let's hope so.
I am working on a portrait for a friend of her grandchildren. I got some new brush pens and they make beautiful work but I really need to practice shading (and blending), because the portrait I made today is pretty cute, but looks NOTHING like her grandkids lol.
It's a learning process. And I am actually trying a new medium, so I'm kind of proud of this attempt. It's been a long while since I have even attempted a serious portrait, and kid's portraits are even harder than adults because their proportions aren't "exact."
I will keep trying until I get it, I am certain I can...it just might take quite a few tries lol.
My first attempt is sitting off to the side with a hole in the nose, so I say I got a lot farther this time.
I am really glad I decided to dive back into art. I am learning so much and it really makes me feel good. Now to allow it to make me money lol. <3
Oh speaking of money, we started a Facebook fundraiser today for Levi's training at Jackson Wink. Here is the link to that: Help Levi Train at Jackson Wink MMA (One of the top ten MMA gyms in the US)
A friend of ours donated $100 this morning! Super exciting <3 If we could just get 20 days of $100 a day we would have his whole year of training payed off. Every single penny counts.
Please help if you can. This could lead to amazing things for our family, and I know Levi's dedication level. When he gets out there, he is going to be 100% dedicated to this so that really doesn't give him much time to do any traditional "work." If his gym fees are paid off, that helps our family tremendously because we will already have to struggle a little while to pay rent and utilities until we are on our feet.
And send LOTS of love and prayers. I know we can do this. I have faith.
Okay, I'm going to take a hot bath and dos some meditation. Then try to sleep.
Tomorrow is Tuesday, and Tuesdays tend to be crazy around here.
Sending you all lots of love.
Go change the world. Do it for Elijah.
Thank you.
I've been seeing hearts everywhere today.
I need to start taking pictures of them again.
I know you are near.
It makes me smile to know you are near.
I miss and love you so so much.
Always.
<3
