1st Time for Everything

Local Art Club @ R House Wynwood 8/10/19

I’m a strong believer that everything always happens for a reason and that things you are passionate about are not random. One day, while bored at work; I started clicking on Facebook events which led me to the Local Art Club page. I put my information without knowing what to expect. I reached out to the page with inquiries to being part of their next event; without fully knowing what to expect or what to do.

I wasn’t initially selected to participate so I figured it’s in part because I don’t run social media pages just dedicated to my art and my work was not seen. Nonetheless, I waited a few weeks and there it was. An email inviting me to participate in their August 2019 event. Without question, I moved forward with it and prepared as best as I could.

Naturally, I was nervous yet excited. My friends and family passed by and showed me their love and support and I got to meet and network with other local creative individuals. This experience left me feeling inspired and motivated to keep doing what I’ve always loved and to let go of fears and negative self talk, keeping me from organically going with the flow of the universe. Cheers! To the first of many more good things to come!!!

The Hamsa is a universal sign of protection and is often combined with the Evil eye to ward anyone who wants to harm you; a defense against negative energy.

Let my soul be filled with the Blessings of Joy & Peace
