I paint on paper grocery bags. Here's a variety of anatomically incorrect hearts. #painting #art #acrylic

I've always thought of getting a tattoo. My sister has them. So does my daughter. I said to myself, "Maybe when I turn 40." Then, "Maybe when I turn 50." Time passed. When my daughter turned 18, we got matching tattoos of the state flower where I was born. www.newporthealthcare.com/resources/in...

Vision board. Escape. It may be the only chance to live the rest of life with peace and love. Dreaming of moving to Spain. #collage #art

#portfolioday Some old hearts when I first started painting them. New ones on the way as my heart continues to break. #art

I’ve kept so many keys from old apartments and houses and cars. I’m playing around with this idea. #mixedmedia #workinprogress #art

Every year on January 1, I write a letter to my future self and read the letter that is sent to me, by me, through FutureMe www.futureme.org. I am reading my January 1, 2024 letter and a few things stood out to me. ⬇️

I have a reminder on my calendar for 12noon on January 1, 2025 and have no idea what it is for. So I'm sitting here waiting for someone to call, text, or email telling me I'm late for something.

Work in Progress. Using yarn from Pom Poms that my kitten destroyed. She apparently doesn’t like Pom Poms. Magenta from a hat. Orange from slippers crocheted by my late abuela. Green ones I cut myself from an old crochet project that never got off the ground because I don’t know how to crochet. #art

These are the Befores. I pick my colors and paint my shapes. Then I sit with them and revisit them over time, seeing what they might want to become. Will post the Afters as they manifest. #artsky #art

After so many years on Twitter, I ended up with about 17,000 followers. I don't know how I'll ever reach that number here on Bluesky. Building a following on a new social network takes ages. Well, it isn't the size of the following that matters...

I never noticed the tiny holes at the bottom of my shirts until a few years ago. Apparently, it is from my untucked shirts rubbing on the metal snap on my jeans. I’ve addressed the situation.

Played around with mixed media. Usually painting only anatomically incorrect hearts, but added lungs here when I was in the middle of a severe viral bronchial infection. Ended up sick for months with residual damage around my vocal cords and silent reflux. #art #painting #artist

Currently watching “Tiny Beautiful Things” on Hulu. @cherylstrayed.bsky.social Part of my one-month-at-a-time streaming service binge where I pay for a month then cancel and spend the next 30 days binge watching shows I want to see. Usually British crime dramas but this one caught my eye.

So many people talk about being married or in a relationship with a narcissist. Not many people talk about what it is like if you are falsely accused of being a narcissist by someone who then reacts to you or treats you as if you are one. It causes a different kind of conflict and trauma.

Disinformation vs. Misinformation: Misinformation is false or inaccurate information because they’ve gotten the facts wrong. Disinformation is intentionally misstating facts to deliberately mislead. Disinformation is not limited to governments. Someone in your own life could be engaging in it.

Someone else’s unprocessed childhood trauma is not your responsibility, especially if they mistreat you because of it. If they refuse to confront it and work through their own pain, that speaks volumes to how they’ll handle conflict in your relationship with them. #trauma #cptsd

Working on a book combining my grief essays and poems with my heart art. I’ve only written and published nonfiction books (business, internet, wellness, cannabis). This is a big departure. Advice?

Hearts: Before and after. I sometimes work on these paintings in stages. Instead of being unhappy with the first outcome, I come back to it with a fresh idea and it transforms. Hey, I’m new to creating art so this is a revelation!

I watch British crime dramas. Lots of them. I'm currently watching "Before We Die" with Leslie Sharp from one of my favorite shows, Scott & Bailey. I love seeing how the British shows portray mature female characters - and really feature older female actors. Close ups. Untouched faces. Beautiful.

This has always bothered me: "Have your cake and eat it, too." Shouldn't it be: "Eat your cake and have it, too." That's the impossible. Eating cake but still having it. Wanting to have it both ways. Thoughts?

Just signed up for Credit Karma. I apparently have a negative net worth. Good to know. 😩

In the same vein: Why do people say "You're fine" when you apologize for something - instead of "It's okay" or "No problem" or "Don't worry about it" or even "Apology accepted." Saying "You're fine" implies: 1. That you think that I think I'm not fine. 2. That you actually know if I'm fine or not.

alizasherman @alizasherman.bsky.social · 26/02/2024

Why does it rub me the wrong way when people say, "Please & Thank You?" As in: "Could you change that for me? Please and Thank You." Why not: "Could you please change that for me? Thank you!"
