Hello World!

Im Andie.

I have some ideas that I hope will be helpful. I’ve spent most of my life looking for ways to improve and live not only more authentically, but with grace. Grace from being peaceful, kind, calm and loving. I’ve spent a lifetime making art, writing, reading and teaching art. Along the way, I’ve fallen short. I’ve lost my footing. I’ve failed miserably at seemingly easy things. I’ve made huge mistakes Like most everyone, I’ve lived through tough times…

I’ve also learned. I’ve stood up and tried again and again and again. I can tell you that I’m terrible at many things and the older I get the more I feel like I don’t know. Plus I tend to lose interest easily, so there’s that.

But

One thing I will say and I can say for sure, is that I do know how to pick myself up, dust myself off, and find a way that’s better.

This blog is about regulating because the one skill I seem to have practiced, for way more than ten thousand hours, is that. Re regulation. I didn’t even know it was a thing until quite recently, but I am confident that I’ve honed this skill and continue to hone it every day.

I invite you to join me as I move ever more toward a more consistent regulated state. I have a constantly expanding tool kit of ways to regulate, some of which, I hope you will find useful. I’m all about adding quality to life, even the weird moments. Probably especially the weird moments. One thing I’m really good at and truly enjoy doing, is making anything better…
