It’s the First
Reality check. I never caught up with my personal prompt plan. I was so focused on finishing up this website and getting ready to launch it’s existence. After a long and hot July in Texas, I finally feel like I have nailed down the AM FREQUENCY objective. It was hard to use my motivational techniques to build a website instead of create more artwork. My prompts and inspiration kept leading me back to the sketch pad only to put it back down again. How was I ever going to make this all happen if I didn’t persevere to the end?
I stayed on track, every day. I unwillingly sat down at the computer, typing and deleting. Set up countless photoshoots, just to discard the pictures. I had a lot to do and found I actually liked the process. I was having fun creating new channels and prompts. I was able to continue learning while researching each category. My brain was over-activated. It’s been fantastic! I love what I’ve come up with.
The AM FREQUENCY is an exact duplicate of my personality. It’s my love, it’s my pain, it makes me happy. I feel accomplished and am so excited to share it with the world. I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. It’s so important for me to help inspire others to find what makes them want to get going. I really hope this prompt channeling can do that.
Considering today is the first of the month, I’m going to let it be the first time I share my other side. I’ve realized a new piece of art every day was slightly unrealistic. Instead I think it’s just as important to explore my other daily activities. Cooking, cleaning, hanging with my best dog Shelby, and listening to the radio non-stop. Art is a huge part of what I am, but I also tend to my daily needs without a pause.
The channel I picked this morning was Child’s Play. I was inspired by the prompt, Double Dutch. Each weekend I make a batch of homemade chocolates. It began as part of my Sunday park painting routine that eventually became a trend. Sometimes I use a Dutch-processed cocoa powder. The word Dutch was just the beginning. Then I thought about the idea of jumping two ropes at a time, how hard it is to do. Made me think of other things that are hard for me to do. That took me into the bathroom with gloves and a bottle of spray bleach. I guess I can double down and scrub the toilet.
Double-Dutch, chocolate and bleach. After it was over, I threw my arms in the air, looked in the clean mirror and said what I always do, “That’s that.” Then I went back to the kitchen and rewarded myself with some desert. Who cares if it’s only 10 AM on a Saturday?
