A couple of days ago I said I wanted to move to using different art mediums and experiment with three dimensional art.

Steemit has been so good to me over the past weeks.

Visual and creative writing communities have acknowledged my efforts at a time when I very much needed the emotional bolstering.

I have always entered into collaborations. With the enthusiasm of being involved and having a go.

Recently two contest hosts @rensoul17 and @juliakponsford saw something in my entry.

This recognition and their beautiful words has been a real boost in my confidence to keep posting.

The small activities I do cause an increase in my pain. I am driven to do something each day in spite of this because if I do nothing I feel like I am nothing.

Continuing to create and express myself reminds me I am someone.

Even typing a simple post hurts.

I am in the process of seeking advice around possibly having some surgery to improve my situation, but I am resisting putting hope into any single possibility, as I have been in this limbo for 18 months.

I cannot afford to invest everything.

So in the meantime I continue at my humble pace.

I love the Slothicorn idea.

The concept and the platform intro idea etc, yes, but I also just love the little dude.

I am a steemit Slothicorn!

I am the slowest moving creature on the platform, I'm sure of it.

I am just here. Doing my slow thing.

And I am here holding all of my magic hope. I am slowed up to the point of being house bound isolated and completely grounded, but my brain is brimming with what might be.

The hope that this new slow means something completely new is around the corner.

The magic that comes from being years in a cave then flying out on a pizza.

I am going to emerge from this not a sloth but a Slothicorn.

I have landed on steemit because my life turned to shit and my family have suffered for it too.

I have been released from the chains of Fall hope because my dreams fragmented, but my family's dreams sequences are being effected now too.

I know I will use what I have to emerge from this a more enlightened creature.

Thank you slothy for showing us that there is a possibility of life after being spat out of the corporate gullet.

Another artist I admire @agneslaczo does some gorgeous work. My toddler shares her joy of painting on stones and pebbles.

Hers are Mimi masterpieces.

Today I took baby steps towards 3d medium and did some slothy stone painting.

My little one also is obsessed with our fridge magnets. He loves them.

This one is my favourite. But I think I am likely to have a surplus of them soon. I haven't finished with this project. 🌈

So we are going to put magnets on them and have our very own Slothicorn fridge magnet collection.

I am anticipating they will multiply, I will update you with the developments of our clan as it unfolds.
