Welcome to my blog! I wanted to create an outlet where visitors can come and talk openly about things that matter. As the world seems to...

Rebecca Potter has been living in the world of art her entire life. As a child she was inspired by books and comics, as well as a love of horses; she would often draw stick figure horses, and her mother helped improve her skills. She also spent hours oil painting with her grandmother as they both followed along with Bob Ross on Television. Rebecca graduated in 1998 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and has been pursuing art professionally ever since. In the beginning of her

Happy Weekend everyone! I'm trying to get back onto a more consistent schedule with my blog posts. So, stay tuned for upcoming blogs ✨ Today I want to talk a little bit about how we indulge in a little game called Self-Sabotage, and how this tricks our brains into thinking we are actually protecting ourselves. I’ve thought a lot about my relationship with others over the years, and I’ve noticed this with my friends, family, etc... and how we all see ourselves through the lens

Good morning, everyone and happy weekend! I'm writing to you all from the beautiful Lake Cushman today... I'm only here for the weekend and then it will be back to life as usual. I wanted to talk today about something that's been on my mind lately, and that is the importance of doing new things and doing things that scare you. When I say scare you, what I mean is things that give you a newfound excitement about life. Things that open your eyes and make you smile. Things that

Good morning, everyone and happy Sunday! I’m hoping to spend time with my family today and get back to myself. The older I get the more I try not to forget where I came from. I had the best childhood, and I love my family so much. As I’ve been living on my own for many years now, I have made friends who have become like family to me; a second family, a second home. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we, as humans, are living two separate realities; there’s the version

Good Evening, I'm trying to get back into a consistent writing routine... I’ve been distracted with things (most of them good) and have been doing research to prepare for this blog, a topic I have in recent years become obsessed with! I want to talk today about relationships, and specifically Narcissistic relationships that can be extremely detrimental to your health and well-being. Not only are these types of relationships extremely harmful to your health, but they also make

Good morning, everyone, It’s been sooo long since I’ve written… Not for lack of trying. I’ve been really busy doing research for future blogs, dealing with health issues, and picking up extra hours at work. I want to share a little positivity this morning as we begin our week! Over the weekend I participated in the Cap City 5 mile race, along with many of my fellow running-crazed friends. This year looked much different than I anticipated; as with many things where we hope fo

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a nice, relaxing week and that the rain didn’t get you down. I must admit, I kind of enjoyed the rain. Sometimes I open the window, so I can get the cool breeze, and smell the aroma of spring, while I listen. I’m trying to get back into writing my blog on a regular basis. Sometimes it’s hard to find a fresh topic that’s intriguing, and where I don’t just blab about my personal life Lol Today I wanted to talk about energy, and the peop

Good morning everyone and happy first week of March! I haven’t written in a while… I’ve been busy picking up extra shifts at the Spa and trying to save up money for extra bills this Spring. When I haven't been working, I've been busy reading True Crime and trying, not so successfully, to keep my body in shape. I just started listening to this book on tape called Nobody’s Girl . It’s the story of Virginia Roberts, just one of the many victims of Jeffrey Epstein. It’s a harrowi

W elcome readers! I hope you all are having a lovely year so far ✨ This month I have the honor of featuring a local artist, Sharon Brocha. Sharon's had a love for painting and art since early childhood and after 25 years of painting, she is now an expert in the craft. She captures the beauty of the natural world by replicating the fragility of flowers and the expansiveness of landscapes so perfectly in her paintings. I t all started when Sharon was a child watching her mother

Good morning everyone, This year I made more tangible goals than I have in the past… trying to instill some better habits for myself, while simplifying my life. The idea of resolutions is something I don’t like to talk about much; instead, I like to refer to resolutions as “processing goals,” which we can start at any time, not just on the clock tick of midnight at the end of the year. Growing up I was hyper focused on making lists for myself and setting goals that were very

Good Morning, everyone and happy New Years Eve Eve… I woke up in a melancholy mood this morning… A friend asked me yesterday why I never got married and had kids, and I grew sad thinking about it. Sometimes I think about everything I’m missing out on by not having that kind of life; the beautiful moments I’ll never get to experience, and I wonder if I do it out of fear, or because my authentic self doesn’t need all those things to have a fulfilling and deeply satisfying life.

G ood morning everyone and happy holidays! I wanted to share some rainy day shower thoughts with you on these days leading up to Christmas 🎄 I was going over my astrological chart last night and was surprised at how accurate it was. If you haven't checked out your own chart yet, I highly recommend doing it. It can help you understand yourself more completely; why you act the way you do, and what will give you the most satisfying and fulfilling life. We walk through this life

G ood morning, everyone and happy holidays! During the month of December, I want to introduce a piece of art that captures the essence of the season. This Icon holds a special meaning to me because I was gifted one of the same style for my confirmation day many years ago. Growing up in the Catholic Church, I always had a deep reverence for Mary, and even though I don’t attend church regularly anymore, the memories still hold a place in my heart. The beauty of the painting,

H appy Friday everyone, and happy holiday season! I’m stepping out of my comfort zone a bit with this topic, but that doesn’t mean the topic doesn’t interest me. I’m talking about the loneliness epidemic among men and the dreaded dating scene. This has been a topic of great debate lately, and yesterday I heard KIRO Radio discussing the controversial topic with many different insights! So, let's get into it…There’s no question about it, dating sucks! I’ve never met anyone who

Happy holidays everyone! This month I’m focusing on local artist Diane and her painting of St. Kateri: Lilly of the Mohawks. I want to preface by saying that much like Kateri, Diane struggled in the creation of this piece. St. Kateri existed at a time before there was access to photography or accurate ways of recording information, other than by word of mouth; so not many people know what she truly looked like. While Diane struggled to envision the face of Kateri, she prayed

Good morning everyone and Happy Halloween! I usually post something about a local haunt, cursed object or superstition on Halloween… but today I want to talk about a horror that we are all living and experiencing today: National Trauma. Trauma happens when we become deeply overwhelmed by a distressing situation or event that shatters our sense of comfort, security and safety. Trauma is experienced through the four F’s: Fight, Flight, Freeze or Fawn… and the way we move throug
