Busy busy!

Hi, peeps!

Sorry to be so busy out here! A lot of family functions and a lot of work!

However, I still made time for myself! I saw “In the Heights” the musical at Signature Theatre in Arlington and it was FANTASTIC.

It’s my favorite musical…..like, for real my favorite.

But I dunno why Benny and Nina’s love in the midsts of chaos bothers me…it must be some sort of trauma lmfao. They are super cute together, but I am more of an Usnavi and Vanessa lover. I love Benny and Nina’s duets though! So so great and everything - and the stage was great and the actors were great and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~~~!!!!

Sorry, I super love this musical.

Anyway, back to the grind - I still have family functions to go to but I promise to have more art to show soon…sometimes my chaos really gets the better of me….

But sometimes, I gotta remember to…just breathe. (If you know, you know!)

Sending all the love.

4/9

Good morning, peeps.

It’s tax season, and the country is going to hell at the same time.

I’m surprised it’s April and a couple days till my birthday - 4 months just flew by in pure chaos…

But I’m hoping everything will be fine within the year.

Taking it day by day, so I apologize I haven’t been on here in a while. Hoping to be here more often now that spring has sprung and there’s that extra spring in my step as well!

Sending love. Hope everyone is doing well and remember that chaos is only temporary, let’s focus on what we can do, and not what we can’t control.

XOXO. Mwah. <3

Hi, peeps

Yet another day in isolation, and I’ll be honest…I had a great smoke day and listening party to Greentea Pen'g’s new album. (Look her up - I highly recommend her music!)

It was greatly inspirational - I sometimes wish my voice would speak it’s own truths, but recently I’ve had a bit of trouble…

Sometimes there are humps, and I do my best to be understanding to myself. I then had a beautiful singing session - letting my heart out and feeling creative again. I think I will focus on that today.

Sending everyone love. Hope everyone is doing well! It’s a cloudy day here, but I am ready to tackle the day~

Full Moon Energy~

Hi, peeps.

Full Moon energes are in full effect…hence why I’m posting this blog.

I can’t sleep!!

But what can I do…I know I have a lot on my mind…nothing to really “solve”, but things to just let be.

Hardest part out here when I just feel stagnant…anyone feeling this?

I am enjoying introducing my favorite healthy foods back right now and balancing myself throughout the process.

And I have a few more things to get ready for the event on Saturday, so just prepare some of that before I try to sleep for the umpteenth time…

I am excited to see everyone!

Sending Love,

Vee

Helloooo~

Hi, peeps.

I have finished the “cleanse” part of the cleanse…and I’m shocked I’m already starting to gain weight…

So I’m slowly adding back foods and I have to reconsider what to eat and what’s going on…

BLARGH.

I’m not one to worry about weight, but thanks to past illnesses it’s something I have to watch whene I can…and I just have to watch it.

But…it’s a shame. I’m sure as I go I will create a nice daily menu for the week to be able to watch it and up my physical exercise.

I miss being physically active on a normal basis, so I’m excited to get back into it. I unfortunately had to stop kickboxing as well and I’m just starved for it. I am excited to get back into yoga regularly…I’ve been too sporatic in my practice because of my schedule. I was supposed to do it during the cleanse on the daily, but unfortunately got caught up in work.

The weather is so beautiful now, so I am excited to enjoy that too. The event on March 15th is supposed to have beautiful weather as well and I can’t even…I’m way too excited!!

If you are coming to the event, please do not forget to RSVP! You can email vsa@radiantreikitherapy.com or DM @xsubtlexsmilex , @radiantreikitherapy , OR @elevatedwellnessmd on Instagram to get started!

We look forward to enjoying this event with you! Sending Love

Hi, everyone!

Hope y’all are doing well!

I am in the middle of my cleanse and let me just say, there has been a lot of clarity and eye-opening experiences. I am almost done though! just a couple days and then I can go back to eating tasty foods next week!

Maybe in moderation, though…

Sending love, I’ll be back more regularly soon.

Last post for a while…

Hi, peeps!!

My cleanse starts on Tuesday, and has 3 parts. As a rule, I must cut down on screen time, so either I won’t be blogging much or I will be comepletely off the blogs.

I will be creating a lot though, so I hope to still have some posts on my Instagram, so do follow me there.

I can’t wait for my seasonal cleanse!! I really need it this time around.

Sending everyone love. Talk soon~

Hi, peeps~

Hope everyone enjoyed my new piece posted on my Instagram!

What do you think of it?

I am really enjoying my reiki recently…and doing things to help others in a practical way.

While my stories through art also help people, it’s something more immediate for people and their healing, but I know logistically I will have less time to do art by this point, but it’s not that I want to stop either. But…

There’s always a “but”. I am tired of denying what my life is trying to give me. What life is trying to tell me to better my life. And I am just at a point where I must listen.

I really have no idea where my life will be taking me anymore, but if I can just continue to be myself I will be happy.

Sending everyone love - let’s enjoy this journey together, whether we can see where we are headed or not.

Hello!

Happy Post Valentine’s Day!

How did everyone celebrate?

In fact, I learned something new this year! 2/13 is Galentine’s Day, and 2/15 is Singles Awareness Day!

How neat. Literally a holiday for everyone nowadays…

But as much as I used to be a hater, I feel that any day of showing love, receiving love, and self-love should be well celebrated. I felt very different this Valentine’s Day (but still promoted my hater song lmaooo. One of my greatest creations in my basement!)

Just having love changed my life, and having this love made me change my perspective on myself. I am feeling so much happier, kinder to myself, and it has also changed me physically to be stronger and have more energy.

I remember how much my anger at life used to fuel me, and I can’t even be mad at it - it helped me survive. I am so grateful to that part of myself; however, that part of me has also evolved: a subtle protection so strong that people can feel it miles away even in silence. That’s a strength and resilience I could have only dreamed of back then. No need to say anything, just be.

Amazing the way a person can evolve for the better, isn’t it?

Sending everyone love on this day. Remember that you are amazing, strong, & resilient even in the toughest times!

About the IG post…

Hi friends,

I posted something on my IG the other day calling out someone who I know stalks me with the “evil eye”. I RARELY call anyone out, but I figured a spook was enough….and it was.

I usually don’t bring the old Vee out…but, I was tired of this person stalking me for a year, so I decided to call them out!

What meditation can do for you, eh? Especially when you decide to play psychic games and you have no idea what you’re doing…sit the fuck down. For real.

In other news, my Radiant Reiki Therapy event is looking good!! I can’t wait to teach everyone little snipets of how energies work and how you can use it for so much good and healing!

I will also be offering a FREE 10-minute energy session and recommendations along with a FREE one-tarot card reading.

Come by if you can and I’m so excited to meet everyone!

Sending Love,

Vee

Good morning~

Hi, peeps!

Today is the start of another week! I am happy to work this week, but I am a bit worried about the snow…

I can’t wait for Spring!!

Plus, I have an event coming very soon that has been posted in the Events section for my Radiant Reiki Therapy business! I am excited to give everyone a taste of what Reiki can do for them, and I hope it brings some much needed awareness and healing to the ones who visit!

But about my art? I am working hard everyday. Please check out my Instagram to see my portfolio! Some art posted on there has not been posted on here just yet.

I think that’s all for now? Sending love on this Monday!

Hi, friends!

Good morning, peeps~

I am doing well today. Yesterday was a fasting day, but I ended up getting sick in the evening so I had to break it. I am feeling much better now.

I absolutely love fasting days. I just stay still and spend time relfecting or creating. But yesterday it seemed I needed sleep and food because I was definitely off.

I am much better today and ready to start my day strong. I am almost done rearranging my room (for the umpteenth time) and getting rid of many brand name clothes….

Which reminds me, I wonder the best place to sell these things? I use Poshmark and Mercari a lot, but I wish there was a better way to do it…

Any way, just clearing out the clothes I don’t use completely changed the energy in my room. When I first cleaned it out, just shifting everything cause all the energy to release and I got super dizzy from it…and it was even more of an eye opener that i need to clear my space.

I’ll sell some things, donate some things, move some things around, and clear it all out!!

I can’t wait to have this renewed energy in my room as I still do a lot of work in there. Generally the mess is why I don’t want to do any work and just go to bed, but….why.? When I could have my space flowing with great energy and get my creative juices flowing again?

Sending everyone love. We got this!

Good morning, peeps!

Hellooo!

I am feeling a bit motivated today, but the weather outside is so cloudy.

It’s become cold again, and we might have another snow storm…I just can’t wait until spring.

I need spring, I live for spring. But another month of the cold and one more snow storm…

It’s not that I don’t like the snow, but I also can’t enjoy it like I used to since adulting is a thing. And I need to go out and do stuff for work & life.

Well, while everything is still clear, might as well run some errands.

See ya, peeps! Have a great day and sending love.

Another One!

Hi, peeps!

Just came on to write more I guess….(I’m making lunch for tomorrow so I don’t go back down the rabbit hole of eating out everyday like I did this week…even if it was just a coffee!! SO…I am still up.)

The crazy thing is…I feel like I’m in a pause. Kind of stuck. To the point I feel like sleeping is a waste of time (which I am having difficulty doing anyway, so I’m up preparing my day for tomorrow).

I am doing my best to move forward everyday…but it’s almost as if I am supposed to stay fucking put. There is more I have to do but I haven’t unlocked the next level….however, I am trying to find other ways of enjoying the pause, like restarting my habits to be good, cleaning my space for newer energy, stay on top of my chores…

I feel very renewed, but for whatever reason, work is slow. I wonder what it is…

The creations don’t stop, but I feel I should sit still. Maybe there is something in the stillness I am not seeing due to my own uneasiness.

Let’s see...

Sending Love,

Vee

P.S. - My Reiki website (Radiant Reiki Therapy) has goods now!! Come check it out!

Happy Feb. 4th!

Hi, peeps!

Been working hard out here, and I am just doing my best with the days, everyday.

Do my best with the creations, although my Reiki work keeps me calm and happy at all times.

Short post today, so just sending everyone love.

The sun is finally peeking out a bit today, so maybe I can enjoy a walk.

Lots going on…

Hi, peeps.

Lots going on….with the world, and with myself.

First off, in case no one knew this…I am just a wanderer…I have always been. Never been in a clique, never had the same “type” of friends…and it’s always been a fact I knew about myself. But recently, I actually accepted this fact. This is my life, and this is who I am…and being able to not conform to a certain thing has always been my strength and protection. And has allowed me to always crtically think with a beautiful hint of empathy and understanding.

That being said…The world leaders nowadays lack exactly that. As long as they have the money and position….that’s all they need. And it’s amazing, especially in my country, how much people lack critical thinking…and how horrible it is especially for those who actually had the privilege of attending school to buy the orange’s B.S. and actually VOTE for him…and now it’s a real reality that voting won’t even matter in the future here, because y’all voted to not be heard. Sounds so fucking stupid, doesn’t it?

They voted for him…and he gave his power to someone else who isn’t even allowed to be a leader here. I cannot believe it. (Not to mention, for someone who believes “Italians should be Italy…Japanese people should be Japan”….the fuck are you doing in OUR country? In MY country????)

They are banking on this…they are banking on this chaos and fear. And do not let them get to you. For those of us who are still okay, we cannot let this fear and chaos bound us.

Please remember to take care of your communities and those communities in need at this time. Anyone the goverment is protecting is literally their own ass and their race (which shouldn’t even be a thing in a country as diverse and who relies on diversity to run all the communities of the U.S., but here we are).

If there is not much you can do on your end, please please PLEASE….just be aware. Be aware of what’s going on until there is something you can do. Do NOT be complacent!! It is not the time to be complacent!!!

Do good in your communites. Whether it be giving aid through activism, helping someone get some food or information/resources in communities, through donations, or even if you have a few dollars to spend at your local independent businesses. Smile at your neighbors, wish them the best. It’s especially through these actions that we can really tell who is for us…

Remember, there is always something you can do. There is always something. Even if you feel you don’t know what to do now, it’s ok!! Make sure to educate yourselves.

I’m sending everyone all the love and healing. We got this. We got each other. Don’t forget that, and don’t cripple in the fear.

Last Night…

Hi, peeps!

I slept SO well last night…didn’t get up for nothing - I don’t think I even cared to remember my dream!

Waking up to a rainy day, however, I feel I could just sleep all day.

I will just be enjoying reading and studying for the day as I’ve been drawing and creating a lot lately.

Speaking of, hoping to be more active on my YouTube starting next week!! Let me know what kind of content you would like me to share. - Right now I am focusing on art (and the occasional rant haha), but if you guys would like more on my spiritual experiences, any “twin flame” stuff, my own training and background in general, etc. I would be more than happy to share!

Sending love,

Vee

Good (Early) Morning, Peeps~

Hi, everyone!

I woke up at 2-something-am and couldn’t fall back asleep. After some (window) shopping for all my favorite things, I decided to actually get up at 4:30am, which is what time I usually get up during my Ayurvedic cleanses. I still have a month before the next one, but I have been meaning to get my clock and my food back on track.

I’ve been eating bad like, 3 days in a row, and I just don’t want it to become habit again, so why not restart all the bad habits to my good habits? Haha…

Surprisingly, I’m not sleepy. I had yet another emotional upheaval (luckily just cleared right out…a really deep & tough energetic one!) last night and I thought “Wow…I’m really gonna get all the deep sleep tonight!!”

And I didn’t. I absolutely did not get any kind of sleep whatsoever.

However, my body just…restarted. On it’s own. And I think it needed this restarting. It’s what I’ve been looking for, and looking forward to in these last few months of healing. I woke up, did a tarot card reading for myself (a Tower moment…how fitting…) and some yoga, and some pranayama (meditation). It was the best, and it’s honestly how I wish to start every morning. Waking up at the hour doesn’t make me feel too tired or anything.

I just…love it - before the sunrise.

Sending everyone love - hope everyone started their day well.

-Vee
