Sketched this a few weeks ago as I felt a #flareup starting to grow inside me. This past week has been seriously hard but seems to be finally getting better (nothing but homemade soups, tea and water for the win!) A shoutout to all my fellow #spoonies dealing with whatever you deal with. It can be so damn hard... always having ups and downs with your health issues, chronic pain, moods, etc. Just remember you're not alone and are a super strong human. I love you! #crohns #winterishard #selfportrait #currentmood 💜

Going through my old drawings has been an interesting journey. #yourebothcute #whatsupwiththeirlegs

What do you do when your arthritis/autoimmune diseases/s.a.d. get you down and you've had trouble drawing? (for months now- ugh. Ah, the colder months.) You stay quiet. Why? Who knows. But when you're sick of the silence? You make yourself start posting older unshared drawings and photography and try to reconnect!

I'll call this, "Friday at Lahey while Waiting for Doctor." (It was mostly routine; I'm doing pretty well, considering!) 😘💜 #crohnsdiseasecankissmyart

A huge thank you to all who attended #womensmarch world-wide. Love, Me (a disabled woman who has been real sick lately and was sad she couldn't physically make it herself. I was definitely there in spirit though. Seeing the outpouring of love and hope and respectful resistance felt like just what the doctor ordered!) Love to you all! xo
