Smoothie & update!

Hey you guys!

I hope you had a wonderful week.

As some of you may know, I’m taking a break from facebook and instagram.

I’m not sure how long this will be but know that I’ll be back in time.

I love the Meta side of facebook or the side that is business related. Many may wonder about that but I actually meet wonderful people and have connected with them through art.

In my opinion friendships may start off real but the ones that count will stick with you throughout the years.

That may start on facebook or off. Still, there are many other platforms that have been created today that can start a true friendship as well.

Although I absolutely love to connect with those I haven’t heard from in years, I honestly don’t understand being on facebook for those who only show interest in spending time with certain people etc. while ignoring those like me. I may not be well known and have very little to offer but I like to think that I’m a good friend to those in my life.

That’s why, I actually find taking a break a fun thing. There is just way too much judgement in the world today for my liking . It was much easier to join that facade when I was unable to see that it was infact a facade.

Still, I won’t be fully taking a break because I’ll still be blogging and have my YouTube channel up, working on linkedin, etc. as well.

I tend to think that is what you do for business though. You spend time with even those who ignore you and put up a facade, etc. because it’s business.

Often times, people aren’t REALLY ignoring you either. They are simply blocked from recieving your emails because if they don’t get them, you’ll THINK they are ignoring you and feel alone. Which is sadly, the goal of some sicko’s out there. It’s simply that they want you to give up, so don’t ever, EVER give up!

DO NOT LET HATERS WIN!

I am from the theatre and do have lifelong friends but I won’t assume anything either because most people are busy with their own lives. I tend to think that it’s a tad selfish to assume that each and every one of them will be thinking of what is going on in my life. Some of them will but in reality many won’t. They only show interest for those who are huge public figures of which I’m not.

It’s hurtful to get your hopes up though, so I wouldn’t suggest it. You’ll be doing nothing but asking for pain if you expect too much from anyone.

In my mind, facebook and most social media platforms are nothing more than a distraction from the real world.

The fact is that when you don’t deal with personal issues, they get bigger and harder to cope with. Don’t fall into social media platforms as a way to cope because ignoring serious issues isn’t a good way of coping with them.

Moving on though, today I will be sharing my Pumpkin Smoothie!

You’ll see a collage that I made to share below showing what you’ll need.

1. 1tsp Pumpkin Spice

2. 1/2 Pumpkin Puree’

3. 2Cups Oat Milk (whatever type of milk you like)

4. 4 Medjool dates (2 or 1 depending on how much you like the sweetness of them)

5. 2Cups Peanut Butter

6. 1tsp Chia Seeds

7. 1tsp Sesame Seeds

8. 1tsp Flax Seeds

Blend and enjoy!

Last, here is a photo that I took for Halloween! If you have not guessed, those are Edgar Allen Poe gloves! They have The Raven all over them, which I have to admit that I love!

I honestly had another photo to share but due to technology can’t share it at the moment.

If you’ve been following me, you’d know that I’m a member of SAA.

I went to pick up my painting early due to the issues I’ve been having with technology. I took a picture when I did so as I usually do.

My phone will not send it to my email so that I can share it for some reason. Updating all my accounts, etc. will take some time but I will get it done.

Until that time, I’ll be sharing updates with you here!!! At the moment, I’m going to be working on my studio.

Although the SAA is very kind, the fact is that I know too many in the arts. At least in this area I do. I know a few in other areas but I am HARDLY well known. I wouldn’t doubt it if some who may already be involved in the SAA don’t want me involved. Of course it may also just be a hacker wanting me to think that.

All I can say to haters, etc. is that art is the love of my life. Nothing will ever, EVER change that. It always has been my love and always will be. You can hack me, hate me or you can try to take me away from art if you assume that it will harm me to be an artist. You’ll never change the fact that I already am an artist though. I’m just not well known but I always will create because I love it more than words can express.

I do NOT create to be famous. Due to that taking any options away from me will not make me give up what I love. I create because I seriously love it and always will. I will create until I physically am unable to pick up a paint brush, walk, talk, etc.

Honestly, I had been putting off working in my studio for sometime!!!

I can’t wait to start painting again!!! That is the part of art I love the most, writing is second and business is well YUCK! I know that some people love it but I can’t honestly say that I understand why.

I hope that you all have a great weekend!!! I’ll talk to you next time.

I can’t say next Monday because I just may be blogging more often. I have more time. At the same time, I have more time for reading, listening to audibles while cleaning my studio, etc. so who knows!!! On that note, you should check out Cynthia Lennon’s “John” on audible. I haven’t finished it and already love it.

Namaste,

Angela
