I found this image via Google this morning and I thought it was perfect to describe my recent circumstances.  The past two weeks have been a rollercoaster, and I let the ball drop on my personal projects (blog/vlog).  Now that that ride is over, I’m excited to get back into the groove of things. 🙂

FibroArt Mondays! (It’s Monday, Right?)

I’ve had the flu for a week. I’m a little slow on getting it together with blog/blog.  Still, I’m working on it.  Look out for new posts here tomorrow and on my YT channel!  Thanks for sticking with me!

Fibro-Art Monday: Frida Kahlo’s “The Broken Column”

Image found on IsabelSharman.co.uk: Frida Kahlo, “The Broken Column” (Click on image to read an article by The Daily Mail on Kahlo

No, Frida Kahlo did not have fibromyalgia.  This painting, however, and all of her paintings really, eloquently expresses what it sometimes like to have fibromyalgia, i.e. the pain, the sorrow, the mental struggle.

Starting from today, every Monday I will be featuring art that reflects, whether directly or indirectly, what it means to have fibromyalgia.

I welcome submissions and suggestions!

 The word “Art” is being used in its broadest definition. 

(So, anything really.)
