I feel so lucky to be able to create for a living. Art and design was the only thing I ever wanted to do. And now, being self employed and running Gray Star Design I am so damn grateful for my journey. And the bonus? My clients. I have worked with some awesome people and the fact that my client base are mostly women, just makes my job even more special. From therapists and yoga instructors to coaches and professionals in the wellness field, these women are on a mission. And they are surely making a difference in the world. Bringing beauty to their business and helping it grow through design is my gift to them. Working alongside these badass ladies really means the world to me. And their kind words not only make me smile, they light up my soul. It tells me I’m right where I need to be and this was what I was born to do. To read some testimonials you can visit bit.ly/graystarlients and see why people enjoy working with me.

I woke up to blue skies and a cool breeze. The birds are singing. The sun is peeking through the clouds. I just know it’s going to be a good day. Why? Because I’m smiling and just grateful I am here, happy and healthy. This next year will be filled with all I need and more and that brings me peace. My 41 years of life has brought me extensive knowledge and experience on many things, both good and bad. But I’m still here and always striving to be my best self. Happy Birthday to me 🥳 Here’s to a fantastic year!

Coexisting

I spotted this big guy this afternoon before we headed out to my in laws, he was just hanging around. We got back a few hours later and I went out to water and he was still there. Except this time he was at the top and seemed to be in distress, as if he was stuck and couldn’t get down. Now I’m no bug expert but it really did seem as if he was in need of some help. I watched him for a bit while I watered to see if maybe he would fly away or walk down, something. But he didn’t. He just kept going in nervous circles at the top. I felt really bad and wanted to help. So I gave him a hand by holding one of my bamboo sticks (I use these as stakes) out by him so he could get on. He gladly did and started to walk along the stick towards me. I put it on the ground and he boot scooted away on the grass.

I know this may not seem like a big deal but it made me happy to help this beetle. I’ve never been one to like bugs, they are actually one of the very few things I’m kind of afraid of. But lately, especially since we have started our garden, I’ve gotten used to these little guys being around me more. The beetles, the slugs, the snails, the bees, the spiders, the butterflies, the praying mantis and all the strange looking bugs that live and visit our property daily… they are all special and important in their own way. I appreciate them all, even if some want to eat our veggies. Lol. I’m here to help them thrive as much as I can and give them a place to be free. And the fact that I’m getting more comfortable coexisting with them just proves that when you allow nature to be an integral part of your life and surround yourself with its beauty, magical things happen. Change happens. Evolution happens. You truly see how we are all connected, no matter how tiny something might be. And there is a huge lesson to be learned in that. I am so grateful for what the Earth teaches me. I am just so fucking grateful.

So Proud

My silly boy on his first day back to school last week. He is such a light in my life. Always smiling and laughing and just overall happy. It’s a beautiful thing to see. Lately I’ve been so proud of him. Mostly because he is finally potty trained. Last Sunday we put the underwear on and didn’t turn back. Within a few days it was official. There were many attempts before this so you can imagine how excited and relieved I am. If you have kids you know how much of a big deal this is. Also, Friday was his first full day of school and he did great. Like I said, I am just so proud of him. Being a mom is a crazy job but I am pretty damn lucky to have this sweet, kind, and amazing little boy to keep me on my toes.
