How I started a Freelancing Business as a part-time student

One year ago I had graduated from college, and I was 22, stuck living in my parents house. I was also a transfer student starting a new major at a local university. I needed a summer job to be financially independent until the Fall. My parents calculated how much I needed to make monthly: rent, […]

Something told me to paint

Something told me to paint. Something told me to full my shopping cart with painting supplies, bring it home, and immediately start painting. This is what I painted on Monday: This is a real chapel I visited in the woods of Arkansas. It was absolutely magical, it was nature and human construction brilliantly synchronized. I […]

I’m a Writer

Hi, I’ve just decided that I’m going to be a writer. Well.. technically I am because I’m writing this blog post. Also I spent $98 to renew my blog website so I better make use of it haha!! Seriously though, I’m going to write several books in my lifetime. I don’t know what they’re going […]

Summertime- Lonely and Ambitious

Miracle

Hi everyone, I wanted to document what happened yesterday, it’s going to be very raw. I got a phone call from a hospital saying i owed $1,600 from the hospital last year. I couldn’t believe it and my heart sank. They were sending the bills to my college address. Last year I went to the […]

My Fascination with Organ music

I’ve been really into organ music lately. It suits my mood, it’s powerful, it’s so many elements at once. I’m exploring Bach’s organ works and downloading them so I can listen to them on my long drives to and from University. I just hope I don’t get hearing loss from so much organ listening. One […]

Race against time

I’m quickly trying to memorize the Beethoven Sonata and the Chopin Mazurka. It’s a race against time now. I have two weeks to get them into my hands for jury. Surprisingly, I’m not too stressed. I know life goes on after jury, I’m excited for summer and posting more piano videos, and I can finally […]

Making Music Magic

Hey friends! Today was a chill Sunday, I played the hymns for church this morning. It went well! I got chipotle. I took a nap. Then I did an hour of yoga. After yoga I practiced my jury pieces. I did the Chopin Mazurka in depth, and played through the Beethoven sonata a few times. […]

Self journalism – the new norm

I’m standing writing this because I am tired of sitting down. My legs need to be useful. Doing yoga has taught me to listen to my body, and my legs say they need to work right now. All day I’ve either been playing the piano, or lounging on the sofa for this beautiful Saturday. Ok, […]

Perfection Paralysis

Hi I’m Elisa and I used to be a perfectionist. I read somewhere of a term called Perfection Paralysis, I didn’t have this problem but it’s interesting to share: Perfection paralysis: spending too much time on the details that you don’t get anything done. You are unable to share your creations because you think they […]
