100 Days of Hope / Painting 100
One hundred days of looking for hope! Focusing on hope every day led me to ask a lot of people what’s giving them hope. Without fail, the answer included the people in their lives. So to everyone showing up, thank you. You give me hope. Let’s keep going. ✌🏼💖🎨

Last night I went to Playfest at Lane and these teens are so talented! We saw five plays written, directed, and acted by students. It’s always a joy to watch Autumn and her friends doing their thing on stage. These young people give me hope. ✌🏼💖🎨

This morning I listened to @govpritzker.illinois.gov speech from the other day in New Hampshire. It filled me with hope to hear that kind of leadership. In the middle he talks about what some people in Illinois are doing and they fill me with hope, too. ✌🏼💖🎨

Today I found hope in starting something new, rearranging the studio so I can work on this wall. The plan is for these six pieces of paper to become one large painting that then becomes 108 small paintings. Will the plans change? Really excited to see how it goes. ✌🏼💖🎨

Hope today is…this summery weather, more people and orgs saying no to fascism, and new puppy friends! Ruthie and Buffy are opposites in most ways but they had a great time together and it was ADORABLE as you can see. ✌🏼💖🎨 @gretajohnson.bsky.social

I meant to post this last night, but life happens. I planted a bunch of seeds yesterday and noticed these blooms around the yard. Planting is an act of hope, especially for people with my track record. 😆🤞🏼Green thumbs still in development…

Catching up with a dear friend is a great way to feel some hope, especially if that friend is @friesinfrosty aka sarahfollmer aka FOLLMER. A lot has happened in the past 20(!) years, but I’m so glad that some things never change. ✌🏼💖🎨

I found some hope the past few days, spending time with @badasscrossstitch.bsky.social and getting out of my routine. It felt nourishing to have time to think and work and play. Practice and eat and talk. Walk and listen and write. Coming home is beautiful, too. ✌🏼💖🎨
