Cheers 2015

This has been an extremely hard year for me. It has had many ups and downs, highs and lows. Some great moments like getting back my favorite pillowing I've ever created to the pillowing group really taking off with flying colors to... Worse things like my companion Shade passing away. This was the year I started physical therapy along with my new RA treatments and it's done wonders to help get me started back to a semi-normal life. I won't lie though. I'm still sick and very much disabled. I am no where near the point I want to be. But... I'm glad I'm still here. I'm glad I didn't give up. There were many many times I almost did. Many times I hurt myself and others around me because of those thoughts and feelings. I'm not really sure what kept me going despite everything I'm facing in my life today. Maybe it was my pillowings, maybe my wonderful husband, maybe the fantastic and great new friends I've made this year... I can't be sure of any one thing that saved me from myself.

It's been a very long number of years since I've been able to post one of these yearly-review charts. I had been sick and bedridden the past few years where I couldn't so much as scratch up some sketches to make anything worth reviewing. So this time of year always hurt me to my core. But... not this year. This is the year I finally have progress. This is the year I finally got back to work and not only for customers but to work for myself as well.

I'm so happy to be drawing again and I'm so happy to be here with all of you.

I hope I can make even more amazing things and great memories in 2016.

Have a great rest of the year everyone!
