the life of the secret ninja painter

the last few months have been so crazy, many things in my life have changed,.

i got married :)

ahhhh the stress of wedding planning is over and the happily ever after has begun! and its only been about 3 weeks but its great!

i also have a whole new family that im a part of ! and i couldnt be more bkessed and shane, madieand I will be going on our,.. follow tis,.. honeymoon/family vacation to Disneyland! and meeting with them and its going to be a blast im sure.

well in all this craziness i haven't done but one art piece in the last i don't know maybe 6 months.  My schedule with working had gotten so busy i did the charity piece nd that was it.

while working the other day i said something and someone asked me " but i need someone with artist side to help me whit something. "
i looked at her and said" im artistic".
"really"
"yeah, you didnt know i painted? ."i dont tell lot of people i work with i realize, i dont want to be the type of person who appears t brag about tings but i had know them for sometime so i thought she had just known, plus she knew a previous manager of mine.
"no, .. like just sketches,.. like in college or something??" she reallly didnt know. so there i was trying to find pictures, that i dont carry on my phone of my ar because i realize how much i dont tell people about it and i dont disclose it.

at work im the ninja artist

i really only tell people i get close too. I'm not sure if its because i don't know if they'll understand the way i paint from the visually impaired aspect, the light sensitivity. if i don't want to answer "those " questions. or if I'm not confident showing my art to people at a job. I'm not sure be nevertheless I realized how much i may be personable at work I am more private then I realize.

i don't think i could ever be one of those people to tell everyone, most of the time when you tell people you do things like that they think your bragging, and h'm defiantly not that type of person, so choosing to just keep it low key is better right?  and then of course i don't need the other questions about my eyes and other not so awesome banter that would ensue. i don't mind answering questions but at work it seems to cross the line at times, so till i decide to tackle all that

i will remain a ninja
