An impromptu birthday celebration at Greenline Cafe with a hot The Stevie sandwich and a Dottie's Homer (strawberry glaze with sprinkles) donut. |
The resplendent moon is looking at me through the window tonight, glowing, sending wondrous vibes to my pulsing aura. Clouds swirl around the orb, seeming to bow gracefully.
I couldn't ask for a better Birthday Eve.
My week has been super busy. From long, long work shifts to writing short stories for a new portfolio, to trying to extinguish unexplainable crushes, to applying for good opportunities in the wake of fresh rejection letters, I have had little time to think fully, let alone paint or prepare a sensible meal.
But now, in thus moment, I look back on the positive.
This week, I received birthday coupons including one to Philly Aids Thrift (used on Monday) and one for Starbucks (tomorrow). I walked around a lot (had to work off rich meals these past few days), enjoyed the superb weather (despite a little drizzle yesterday), and my new James and Co. vegan leather duster came on Wednesday (originally $170, got for $50).
Other things:

I almost bought this heartbreaking series of artworks on small canvas panels. These animals are sadly seeing death of themselves on a plate with the pig and cow have little babies beside them. It spoke to me in a compassionate level, especially seeing as since turning vegan I truly despise meat product companies with smiley face cartoon animals. The industry couldn't be anymore cruel. |

Me at 16, painting my version of Grant Wood's "American Gothic," a modern art favorite. I posted this on my artist Instagram for #ThrowbackThursday. It makes me realize more than ever that being an artist is a treasure, a beautiful ingrained creativity trait that will always be a huge part if my life. |

For the second time, I will be volunteering for Philadelphia Film Festival. We had our training on Wednesday night. I was sooooo pumped to play Kerry Washington, donning her "badge" and feigning degrees of importance. Originally, I was offered Sandra Bullock and traded with a guy who didn't know Kerry (shocker). |

Pumpkin Pie Milkshake is back at Hip City Veg and it tastes better than ever! That yummy vanilla ice cream is blended with pumpkin goodness and layered spices, bringing a familiar sweet enjoyment that screams fall in love. I already have three out of ten stamps used on my milkshake rewards card. And yes, I just started using the card this week!!! |

Also my hair is red! Yay!! So ready for the Big Day tomorrow. It's going to be a birthday to remember. |
Enjoy your birthday and I'm happy there have been some great moments in your week! Hurray for pumpkin pie milkshakes!
