A Moment of Gratitude

The little moments really add up.

On here, I’m usually complaining and lamenting what’s gone wrong in my life. Seems like the only time I document my good times and moments I’m grateful for is in my journal or brief Instagram stories or tweets. But whole blog posts?? Almost never.

One month, one month ONLY?

When I wrote this title, I was thinking of a Brent Faiyaz song. What I’m writing about has nothing to do with any of that, though.

Rae’s Violet Art Trips: First Minted NFT!

Yay! I did it!

On Sunday, Jan 30 (which was 9 days ago), I FINALLY got to post an NFT and officially become an NFT artist! It took some help, though, from one of the NFT pros in the spaces I frequented. See, that’s the value of asking questions when you’re unsure of your process.

Rae’s Violet Words: 21 of 2021

Hello, you. I see you, in those onesie pajamas with an animal hood, sipping herbal tea as you read this post. You’ve been checking out my Instagram and Twitter, wondering when I’d post again. It’s been a month. But there you are, reading yet another post. I see you, and I thank you.

Ugh, I just cringed typing that. But I hope it caught your attention!
