On wasted time’s worth…
Social Media… should I stay, or should I go? I’m thinking aloud pondering these questions missing days of old when there were limited ways to personally and professionally engage others: no devices at the dinner table, in bathrooms, at outings, in transit. We didn’t have hoards of alleged “friends” and fickle followers. However, we had a few really good friends. And followers followed because we offered real walks and talks and they were congruous. Time was better guarded, more easily controlled and more revered.

I seldom post wondering which scammer or schemer I’ll awaken and whether my discernment’s sharpen enough in that instance. 🤨This week a buyer reached out to me wanting two of my art pieces for shipment to a friend in Australia… Sharpened, I asked right questions, did my due diligence researching shipping, handling and insurance fees, etc. When it came to payment, the scam became apparent. While I suffered no monetary loss, I lost out on a good night’s sleep excited about the prospect of making a hefty sale. As an artist, the best compliment you can pay me is to purchase my artwork. Every sale excites me and I look forward to learning more about the buyer. This scammer stole a bit of my time and piece of mind. How much was that worth? Again, I’m just venting and sharing loud thoughts 🪭🧘‍♀️😮‍💨 Am I alone in these thoughts?

Excited about being chosen for Project P.A.I.R. as my start date approaches in February. While I know my “Why’s” it’s the “What’s” this endeavor will bring about that excites 🤔

“Leaning into a new skill is fun when it comes naturally, but I’ve learned it’s usually those skills that are the hardest for me to catch on to that are the ones I need the most.”
