I've just found you. I'm counting on you to continue in whatever way you find possible. You'll be able to do what is in you even if it's different than you previously expected. I have autoimmune, neurodivergence, mood struggles. I'm simply older and have been traveling for longer. You have much to offer, however you decide to do so. Peace

Adventure Art Injury Update 🐢🌸 as it turns out, I injured my spine and am unsure when I'll be back at 100%. This is a massive blow! It is so hard to move at my normal pace. I still hope to have a video up for y'all at the end of the month about my desire for Discord to get us closer to the "forum culture" of the old internet.
BUT, I wanted to share a positive update despite the physical struggles. Yesterday my partner wheeled out all of my paint supplies, a camping chair, and snacks to one of my favorite spring trailheads so I could paint the California Poppies in Plein Air. Took quite a few breaks sitting in my camping chair, but I am so happy with how these turned out.
Feeling so much joy being able to find a way to spend slow, gentle time in nature. Take this post as a sign to be incredibly gentle to yourself this week, get outside if you can, and remember that human-made crafts are such an important thing to make us feel joy and access balance in these wacky times.
Final note, I have been making adjustments and updates to my website between PT sessions, so feel free to poke around here: melmitchelljackson.com/
