Creating Normal

Here it is, the middle of November and the holidays are right around the corner. There is a part of me that can’t believe we’re nearing the end of 2020. Another part is thinking about what the holidays looked like last year and how I innocently took that time, the normalcy and traditions for granted. And another, the biggest part, making the very best of these moments because this now is what we…

Creating Happy Habits

I have the best intentions. I believe that most people have the best intentions, but the framework of the intention falls apart along the way to actually following through. I honestly, and with enthusiasm intended to add to my blog every single week.

I have my list of blogging ideas, I add ‘blog’ to my list of business-building to-do’s and I think about setting aside time to write and…

My hope for the world

My hope for the world

I am not sure where to begin as I think about what I have been unpacking from a life-long of experiences and feeling my way through all the things going on this year.

It has been a doozy, to say the least, all of it.

My memories go back to my crib and I remember a lot. I picked up a pattern of thinking somewhere along the way, where I began holding onto all of the hurtful things that happened to…

I have a deep love and appreciation for animals. When I am inspired to create them, the lines come from study and perspective, then from my heart to hand. Sketching is fun but the inking takes the energy of my work to another level. Sometimes I find the colors to paint right away but most of the time, I sit with them and let them tell me. I will be back to share her colors soon. Have a beautiful day and weekend✨😃✨ #owl #barnowl #animal #ink #love #goodvibes #creatinghappy #blackandwhite #art #artist #debihammonddesigns #spirit #heartfelt #create #inspiration #nature #inking #creativeprocess #energy #creating #purpose #injoy #dowhatmakesyouhappy #havefunfirst #shine #be https://www.instagram.com/p/CAxpz2OpWYY/?igshid=aihaig0xeyf2

Happily Behind or Right on Time

I missed blogging last week! I don’t know if any of you have been in a strange time continuum but it’s real here at my house! The plan is to post twice this week, so let’s see how I do.

I use one of my favorite statements when I am feeling present and accepting- “A wizard arrives precisely when she means to.” I don’t feel stressed or anything, except perfectly happy with where I am and how I…

Creating a Happy Home

Hello and happy day or night to you. It’s still morning here in Texas, the sun is shining and it promises to be a beautiful day! The people of the world, are for the most part (I hope!) staying home. I work at home and I love my home. This is my safe place and sanctuary. It’s peaceful and clear and clean and checks off a lot of boxes for comfort for our family. Unfortunately for most people, home…

Happy Resilience

I hope this post finds you well and happy, adjusting to your new normal as we take things day by day. My days have blended together, like I’m sure so many of yours have and I heard it best a few days ago when someone said, “Is it the 95th of March?” March just seemed to go on and on and on!

I am in Texas and we have been staying home for weeks. I am not one who listens to the news much for a lot…

Creating your Happy

I believe we are all born with a bright, creative spark!I think we all know how to color and freely express, sometimes on walls or our sister but watch a little kid with a crayon. After they put it in there mouth it finds its way to the paper and free coloring and happiness begins! But somewhere along our journey through ‘growing up’, the brightness of that spark begins to fade. We don’t…

My gift to you and yours, to bring comfort and intention with purpose and imagination. Listen to The Blanket- a Story of Healing, on my website, linked in my bio, on the books page. I created an audio slideshow with all of the illustrations and it’s cc’d for those who need it. In these times of fear and uncertainty, trust that the air will clear and know that we will get through this together. I can do my part by giving you some hope and power to make a difference. Creating Happy begins within. ‘Injoy’ The Blanket❤️🌎❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B96kq_jpRn9/?igshid=sjbh0us5knmz

Moment Living and Planning

I sure hope you had a good and calm weekend. There have been so many rumblings around the world and I hope that you have found a way to stay steady and sure, with faith, resourcefulness and perseverance to see this particularly challenging flu-season through. I saw a post yesterday that asked, “Can we start 2020 over?” I say do not worry friends. There is a reason for this season and we are here…

Who’s Saving Daylight

Hello and Happy Monday!

I am back as promised, with all kinds of ideas swirling about what I should post about today. I know, I should have decided that before I began, but this morning I put on my organizing pants and they just haven’t been that comfortable.

I tried not to let the time change have any affect on me but dammit, I got up later than usual (not really), the clock said I did and I…

Believing

Hello Happy Creators and Readers,

I hope this post finds you well, in this very early part of March 2020. This year for me already… Wow! ‘Be careful what you ask for,’ comes back around in my mind today as I fashion this post. I profess that I love to learn and I have been on a steady course to self-awareness and expansion for over 25 years. I think I might get a break from time to time to…
