Wife and mother, enneagram 6, navigating postpartum motherhood, custom illustration and graphics business linked below 👇🏻

While I love to illustrate portraits, sometimes I need to take a little creative break and drawing something a little different! 😏
.
#babyyodamemes have taken the world by storm as of recently (thanks @disneyplus ), so I thought I would jump on the band wagon with my own baby Yoda (not actually Yoda though) illustration 💁🏻‍♀️ let me know in the comments if y’all would like a free phone wall paper made out of this one 🥰

I’ve been so blessed to have a good amount of work come my way in the past few months. I’m so very thankful to all of you for that.
.
Now as I have pasted the one year mark since I started my illustration business, I see how much God really helped me to stay true to my word of the year, persistence.
.
I started the year with that word because I knew the first year with this business would be hard. And likely I would want to quit right off the bat. Leads and sales were incredibly slow and honestly my work at the beginning wasn’t very good either. It took close to a year to really find my groove, learn how to network and cultivate leads, learning what my clients actually wanted to buy from me, and honestly just truly finding my style!
.
I’ve tried on so many hats in the process of finding my style over the past year, it amazes me that some of you stuck around through all of that. Let’s be really, I was a bit of a hot mess. But it was worth it all in the end. I’m thankful for all of you, for your support and for being my cheerleaders which I felt like I wasn’t good enough 🥰🥰
.
Side note if you’re wanting to get in a family portrait in time for Christmas, don’t wait too much longer so I have time to get it ready for you 🎄☃️

Shattered.
My heart
My hope
My family
A miscarriage is a loss. Either easier or harder because you knew the person for such a short amount of time. But a time filled with so many hopes, dreams, and plans. All of those now shattered.
In your mind there will always be an “empty seat” at the table for a small figure that you never quite saw.
You go on with life always wondering what color their hair was, how tall they’d be, if they’d need glasses or if they got their Daddy’s height. All questions with answers stolen away.
.
But there is hope in the knowledge of seeing the small face one day and a bond with others who have gone down this road. -Words by Sarah Mitchell @mama.rue.x3

Forever Changed.
My life.
My body.
My heart.
My soul.
This is postpartum, this is not the sad ending to the world I loved, but the sweet beginning of the world I am coming to know. My life is completely different. My Body, stretched and scared. But in the most wonderful way possible. My heart has found space for a deep protective love that I had no idea it was capable of. My soul clings to this other tiny soul weather near or far.
I’m forever changed.

Who’s a big enneagram fan?
Let’s be real, the memes are hilarious and WAY too accurate!
.
Hi! I’m Christy. I’m a six and the artist behind this account. I am the phobic kind, the worst case scenario is always swirling around in my head. I’m married to a Two and have two sweet kids, Ian and Raine. I’m a C Section Mama and create art as my escape from worrying about everything that has gone wrong or will go wrong (am I right 6s?). .
What’s your enneagram Type?

There is such a misconception around women who stay home with or without kids, that states we all just lounge around the house and binge Netflix (or now Disney plus 😂).
.
The truth of the matter is generally our time is actually very full of cooking, cleaning and in my case, watching kids, filling orders, networking, talking to clients. You name it. Being a stay at home mom doesn’t mean my time is available to answer on a moment’s notice. I may not leave the house for my job, but I still have one to do. Try to remember just like you would not want someone expecting an response while you’re at work, that stay at home mom may not be able to give you a timely response either. Life is busy and there are so many demands on all of us.
.
Choose to be the type of friends that can pick up a conversation at any time without judgment or placing demands on each other 💛💛

Saying we’re overwhelmed doesn’t mean we’re ungrateful for what we have. But rather the admitting of our humanity and that in this moment, our mind is helping to guard ourselves against over doing it to a critical point.
.
Take a moment, recognize the feeling overwhelm, take a deep breath a form a plan of action. You’ve got this!
