S2: E1 New Beginnings

-

Hi, Hello, and Happy 2021!

If you are reading this, WE MADE IT! 

2020 sent us all on a rollercoaster that we didn't pull down the safety belt down for. We started the year off with smiles and hopes for new adventures, and ended it hiding our smiles behind masks and staying indoors. It just goes to show how fragile life truly is and how we are not in control. 

So here we are now, just about a week into a new year, but nothing has changed... YET! We must continue to focus on the good things on the horizon. This is also the time people make resolutions, goals, or both. After the year we all had, it may be hard to think of things since we don't know what 2021 will bring. (PLEASE don't be 2020 round 2!) Maybe some of your items that didn't get checked off before will finally be completed now! Take this time to create new beginnings.

As for me, I started this blog back in April of last year, yes, during the quarantine where I had lots of time, (ah, memories...) and since then I have not kept up with it steadily. But I haven't given up either! So, this year I would like to keep it consistent. My intentions were to share the process of my artistic journey and that will stay the same. Even though I may not complete design or creative projects every single week, I would like to still check in here with any thoughts or inspirations I have had in the meantime!

Stay tuned each Thursday night, between 6-7pm for the latest blog "episode" link to drop! I am also going to try out a weekly email message to reach beyond social media for new announcements! Please let me know if that is something you would be interested in. I know a lot of people get turned off by emails because of work and junk mail, but I promise, this one would be fun, inciteful, and hopefully put a smile on your face!

Thank you all for tuning in to "Season 1" of Marilyn Meets Blog! It wasn't a long one, but it was a good start. I am excited for this new season to launch and to see what happens along the way. I am not a professional blogger in any sense, but I'm having fun and I hope you are too.

"Don't ever give up on yourself." 

Love you lots,
mvm

S2: E10 Let Go

I have always had a hard time with changes throughout my life. Even though it is the one constant thing to happen. But as I get older, I am realizing how much it is needed and I have been embracing it. Life would be boring if everything stayed the same. Imagine where we would be today if things didn't change and progress.  Two years ago, I was in need of a new car REAL BAD. My Ford Taurus was good to me for my first years of driving, and more. It got me here and there, but eventually, it was time for something different. Me being me, I felt bad having to get rid of it and thinking about all the good times driving my friends around and going to fun places. But it wasn't even safe to drive anymore... no power steering, the floor was rotted, my door wouldn't shut in the winter time, needless to say, I had very low standards when looking for a new one. Now I have my Nissan Sentra and I love it SO MUCH! There are so many new features that I didn't have before, and the overal...

S2: E9 Yogurt Cup

If you know me at all, then you probably know that my all time favorite show is Boy Meets World. Clearly, because my whole brand is even based off of it! One of my favorite moments in the show is when Eric and Cory go on a road trip together. What Cory doesn't know is that for Eric, this isn't just a trip. He decides he isn't going home afterwards. Along their travels though, they come across the World's Largest Yogurt Cup, which they must visit! There is even a Parade of Sprinkles that Cory checks out, but doesn't get the memo about wearing goggles to protect his eyes. 😂 (Images found on Google from the show, I do not own the rights to them - sharing for visual purpose) I feel I am a lot like Cory Matthews in many ways, but one being how I would be just as excited for this random iconic monument. My dream is to visit all 50 states and I would hope to find as many of the "World's Largest" things along the way! SADLY, this one was just made up for the ...

S3: E9 Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year

"Never apologize  for how you feel,  for how you hurt,  for how much you love." I'll be honest with you. I feel like I have been in a bit of a slump the past 2 months. Waves of loneliness, FOMO, fear in general, being different or having unique interests, the constant comparison and not being where I "should be" in life. All of it is valid, but this is MY YEAR.  In honor of my 30th back on January 19th, I decided to do something fun for myself on the 19th of every month this year - so far it's been a success! July is my "half-birthday" month and I thought it would be a good time to step back to appreciate all the good/positives that have happened since my birthday rather than get stuck in the slump. Being my own Valentine, throwing myself a party, seeing Hamilton... ...Grilled Cheese Weekend, Free Cone Day, a cute/confident outfit.... ...reuniting with friends, Crumbl Cookie adventures, Nostalgia Fair... ...Immersive Disney Experience, flowers from...
