PARTY ON INSTAGRAM

Hey friends! I know I've been a little PT out here in insta land.⠀ ⠀ I would say I'm sorry. But I'm not. Not one bit.⠀ ⠀ Because what I've been working on outside of insta land is so killer. so cool. so bomb diggity, so rad, so ace, so pickles, so shiznit.....I think I covered at least a few decades of slang for great. 😂😂😂⠀ ⠀ What I'm trying to same is it's gonna be FREAKIN AWESOME!!⠀ ⠀ Spoiler, it's not all about new designs. NOPE. I know what the HELL!!⠀ ⠀ Hang on to your britches because it's gonna blow them right off.⠀ ⠀ ......gotta get back to it. ⠀ ⠀ PEACE OUT.....✌🏻
Saturday has me all..... .....relaxed and ready to learn. . Today I’m getting orders ready to ship and grabbing my huge ass coffee mug to sit down and dive back into LTF course that is rockin my world right now.....and amazing things are brewing up here in the studio from all the knowledge bombs being dropped from @tracymatthewsny of @flourish_thrive. . Gotta get back to it. Enjoy your Saturday, do what makes your heart feel good today. Breathe in some fresh air and thank yourself for being so damn awesome! 🙏🏼✨💛 . . #flourishandthrive #flourishthriveacademy #raiseyourvibrations
Can we just talk about trees for a minute.⠀ ⠀ First of all how in the heck can a tree especially a skinny ole tree grow to be taller that a three story building and not fall the heck over?⠀ ⠀ Why am I even pondering this? Well. We've been having some pretty gnarly weather lately and I've been spending a lot of time indoors (because nobody needs to be outside when it a wind chill of -25) and looking out my windows at the woods behind me. I'm not gonna lie I sat for awhile looking at the super tall trees (especially those skinny ones) with all of the wet snow on each branch going all the way up to the top of the tree. Wondering. When is that damn thing going to cave under all that pressure?⠀ ⠀ Well. None of the trees behind me did. So I got to thinking. If that skinny ass tree can stand tall with all that weight on it an not give one bit......then I can too. And. So can you!⠀ ⠀ Whatever is pressuring you, stressing you, irritating you, or making you damn right ready to throw in the towel.....just know that shit will melt away eventually. And. You'll still be you standing there. So stand tall. Don't break under the pressure. Be resilient. Be flexible. Be brave.⠀ ⠀ I have a shit ton of Tree of Life bracelets. I have silver charms and gold charms. Some are made with Amazonite (like the one in the photo), Onyx (beautiful matte black stone), Green Aventurine, and Turquoise Howlite stones. $25.00 Sometimes we need a reminder to stand tall and this is the perfect bracelet to remind you.⠀ ⠀ Shoot me a DM for your order.⠀ ⠀ #lovetrees #standtall
......and pretty big ones too!⠀ ⠀ I posted a few weeks back about how in high school I was faced with discrimination because I was a female trying to step into the male dominant world of architecture. I enrolled in a drafting class to fine tune my skills at angles and measurements to be faced with 1) think you're in the wrong class (from the teacher)⠀ 2) Do you need me to do your homework so you can pass?(from male classmate).⠀ ⠀ I stayed in the class and did my own homework AND passed. Booyah!!⠀ ⠀ Then again in my late 30's discrimination hit again because I was female asking to be compensated the same as my male coworkers. When in fact I was working harder and had more responsibilities but being paid less. I asked for a raise and immediately was berated, belittled, had a finger shook in my face while all the yelling was going on about "how dare you to ask for a raise, who do you think you are?", then fired on the spot. Boom!⠀ ⠀ So what did I do?⠀ ⠀ After the initial shock (primarily because this employer and his family was long time friends on mine....which the friendship ended that day). I ever so graciously wiped the tears from my eyes, stood tall and flipped this jackass the bird and told myself NEVER EVER would I deal with this again. I started my own business and was my own freakin boss and stood tall against any fool who tried to treat me less of a human because I was female. ⠀ ⠀ Stand tall babes. Don't allow anyone EVER to treat you like you're less of a human because you're not a male.⠀ ⠀ #girlpower #badassbitch
As I begin my journey and relationship with the paintbrush + canvas I've been wondering:⠀ What is my painting style?⠀ ⠀ Is it:⠀ Modernism⠀ Impressionism⠀ Abstract Art⠀ Expressionism⠀ Cubism⠀ Surrealism⠀ Chinese Style⠀ Japanese style of painting⠀ ⠀ I feel my style is leaning into contemporary abstract. The reason why I think this is that I've tried different approaches where I've drawn/painted an image on the canvas and then ended up painting over with strokes. I've started with a nice colored back ground with all intention to leave most of the canvas solid and just add a few strokes, smudges, and swirls to find myself filling the entire canvas with movement. ⠀ ⠀ Instead of trying to "find" my style I simply let my style find me. I listened and I embraced it. I move to the rhythm of what I have to offer when I sit in front of the canvas and don't resist where it's taking me.⠀ ⠀ Strokes, straight strokes with loads of color is my jam. So there it is....my style found me all I had to do was to acknowledge and embrace it. ⠀ ⠀ ....... if you're wondering if I'm going to list these masterpieces, the answer is yes. I'm working all the details out as you read this. I'll post when it goes live.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
This #superbowlsunday I've been playing with some pretty cool color combinations.⠀ ⠀ Just wait till you see these paintings, you're gonna flip.⠀ ⠀ Now get back to the game.......or not. BTW, I'm not watching and it will still turn out how is suppose to.⠀ ⠀ Cheers. 🍷 @californiarootswine
Retiring Run Wild. Who wants one? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Only 3 left.⠀ ⠀ It's kinda sad to see this guy move on to retirement but there's new kids on the block and the studio needs room to display them. So after long and heartfelt pondering thoughts I decided to say GOODBYE to Run Wild.⠀ ⠀ This bracelet is a fun bohemian add to any outfit. My favorite HOT 🔥Sista @merrissa of Rad Maverix wears one like a boss.⠀ ⠀ Snatch one up before they're gone.........forever!😲⠀ ⠀ $25.00 DM your PayPal email and I'll shoot you an invoice.⠀ ⠀ Better hurry now......before the stampede.🐂
Are you feeling it?⠀ ⠀ I sure am!⠀ ⠀ I haven't felt this in control of my designs and where my business was heading in a while.⠀ ⠀ I sure as heck didn't do it sitting around moping.....well maybe for a hot minute I did. Then I took several deep breaths to clear my mind and then I was given a very clear answer........ that I had all I needed to get my sh*t together.⠀ ⠀ I had courses I have purchased....and didn't complete.⠀ I had so many FREE courses I had signed up for and didn't participate in or finish.⠀ I had tools presented to me on a silver platter and I have been spending time dusting the platter and not paying attention to what was on it.⠀ ⠀ NOT ANY MORE!!⠀ ⠀ I have be hunkered down at my computer this last week or so with a glass of wine listening, participating, taking notes, jumping on live calls, interacting in FB groups and ORGANIZING the crap out of my business.⠀ ⠀ I have learned that I certainly haven't been ignoring my business as a whole. But. I had been ignoring one fatal area.....and that's promoting. Oh sure, I've posted on instagram and FB nearly daily. But, not the right kind of post that was getting any interaction. Lesson learned.⠀ ⠀ I'm making changes with how I think about my business and realizing that I've been working my butt off.⠀ ⠀ I was reminded of all the things that I do for The Onyx Feather and all the time I put into it. By that I mean, I'm giving my self credit for everything I do including spending 6 hours taking and editing photos. The hours I spend writing my blog (even though I don't think anyone actually reads it🤓. The hours I spend writing content for insta and FB. The hours I spend researching shows that I feel would be a good match for my brand. The hours I spend sketching new designs.⠀ ⠀ Pretty much when my eyes are open I'm working on something.⠀ ⠀ So, I've also decided to give myself days away, and enjoy the moments of rest. Time to sit and breathe or binge on Grey's Anatomy (I'm almost done, I swear).😂⠀ ⠀ WHY, am I telling you all this. ⠀ Sometimes others forget that this is a business and not just having fun creating.⠀ It's hard.⠀ It's fun.⠀ It's pretty darn amazing most of the time.⠀ ⠀ Thanks for joining me!
One night a few weeks ago I sat in my studio and thought about my business.⠀ ⠀ Where was it going?⠀ How was I going to get it to where I wanted it to go?⠀ And.....why is my wine glass empty? Whyeee!!⠀ ⠀ What did I do?⠀ Well.⠀ I signed up for about a million courses. That's what I did.⠀ I'm making my way through them and WOW the things I've learned.⠀ ⠀ I've learned how to narrow my niche and grow from there.⠀ I've learned how to build my brand and make it cohesive. ⠀ I've learned so many damn things that I'm rewatching so many modules........ahhhhh!⠀ ⠀ One thing I did learn that sits so well with me is that change is good and let me tell you YOU are gonna love it.⠀ ⠀ I want to thank:⠀ Tracy Mathews of @flourish_thrivef or the great Jewelry Makeover Bootcamp Emylee and Abagail of @thinkcollectivecreative, for all the tools to get shit done, @nicholletestyles for help with @canva and making my brand stand out and @amirarahimart for giving me the courage to jump into the unknown and see where it takes me.⠀ ⠀ ....if you're still wondering about my wine glass and why or how it was empty....well I just needed to get off my butt and refill it with my fav @californiarootswine.🍷⠀ ⠀ #californiarootwine #tcctribe #flourishandthrive #canvatips
This green feather that happen upon my path last week while walking my pooch means so much to me.⠀ ⠀ First, and most importantly. It's a message from one of my loving angels. Secondly, the message is to let me know abundance, money and fertile opportunity is coming my way. Get ready girl, is what my angel is telling me.⠀ ⠀ So, I am.⠀ ⠀ i have been opening my soul to the universe. I have been sitting quietly. Listening. Waiting.⠀ ⠀ Clarity is on the horizon.⠀ ⠀ Newness is about to hit The Onyx Feather.⠀ Watch for it.⠀ ⠀ #greenfeathers #angelmessages
