My Summer of Reading Continues…
Hellur Luvlies! We start off July with fireworks and celebrations of North America being old now *lowercase hooray. 16 books are planned for the month, plus 8 ballet classes, and 2 walks along the beach. I know I should take more vacation time, but a freelancer rarely rests (as she writes this on Canada Day, no less).
I still can’t believe I painted 28 oil paintings in 30 days. The painting momentum will be maintained for as long as possible. I have big plans for this new ‘Paintress‘ identity, and I want to see them through.
Yesterday, I reviewed the books I read in June. A few of the titles were stellar, mind changing reads that I felt inspired to share my thoughts with the group.
Other than that, July 2026 is quiet. I’m focused on securing contracts, so I can keep my roof over my head. Msg me if you’d like to collab.
Chat soon Luvlies!
