I submitted the first 5 photos untouched or unedited. I did not realize some of the quality had pixelated with file transfers. But, I was asked to submit to this open call. I wish things could change with the way artist's get paid. Waitresses are paid $2.90 per hour when I did work as one when younger. I think there should be a standard for artist's that qualify for galleries and shows to get automatic payment.

I made this today I had a lot of fun doing this photoshoot. I used the photo above. 1/28/24 https://about.me/creativelifehappyfuture




This one I did not submit and I use to see hearts everywhere! I have more Black and White images from 2016-2017 I will make a book one day.

My 1st writing rejection which is okay. The magazine wrote me an email and that was such a good experience being rejected in a tactful way. I am going to try again for volume 5.
Baseball America’s favorite game
Practice makes perfect as you play ball.
Outfield, infield, shortstop, or bases
When the batter is up all eyes on the ball!
This is the American Dream!
I practiced ball with my son’s as a Mom.
I saw the potential as others did
Nobody uplifted them to stardom.
My Dad was minor leagues The Chiefs.
He quit before my childhood.Baseball baseball is in my blood I know I could have went far in the game if I was trained in softball.
I would practice batting and could play right and left handed!
Baseball Baseball was our fun time and little league season was always our reason.
The little league Cardinals won the championships 2015.
Getting the big trophy was a dream in District Little League!
Baseball Baseball was fun and we never went beyond little league or minor leagues.
As my son’s went from baby to adolescent teens.We lived in a luxury dream apartment near the baseball baseball fields.With fond memories of playing ball. It is shocking that the entire community would support violence against woman and children for a stadium last name.Titles, status, the name means money but character is everything.I can’t help to think how this man would feel is he knew what was done for his name? Was it the fame, was it just about the name, or just a game?When we play ball we follow rules and regulations of the game.With life there are rules and Constitutional Rights of all US citizens not just the one’s who were able to make it.As professionals who have established higher status they have the moral obligation to help others up.People can go low and constantly hit grounders over and over again.The real deal is the home runs and going high and above and beyond for other people less fortunate.It’s all about giving back to people and community.I know I would do something if I was of higher standing and my name was used for public crimes.We cheer and yell and clap for the team playing on the fields of childhood dreams.Without the spectators there would be no sporting events.Without the people there would be no fame.America stands for freedom and baseball baseball player number 42 stood for the opposition against hate and discrimination.The best baseball baseball player that ever lived we should all lead by his example.42 was the age I turned when I moved back here.I never thought dreams would turn into reality of events that would be connected to baseball.baseball b.A field can be barren, trashed, flooded or full of life, love of the game, and laughter.The game is to make it back to home base.
There was a glitch in this copy and paste with the word baseball. The word was hi-lighted in the original and it blanked on here? Not sure why some sentences are white out hi-lighted? But, I learned in business mentorship that Wix site is no good that your better off lighting the whole site on fire. They said you can do pretty things with it and it looks nice. It is not considered to be Professional at all. I am so glad that I learned this before launching anything else on Wix. I was offered this through Legal Zoom when I filed my LLC. It is better than nothing. But, I am going to have to start over on a new platform soon. This I never got much engagement with only 1 friend signed up under her dogs name and only one person ever got my free print that I put in my book. I am unsure if I can take my domain name creative life happy future? I originally wanted it to be creative lie happy life. So, I plan to print my blog and ideally I want the entire site I may screenshot or try to copy/paste in last blog post and go inactive here? Nobody is reading these on this blog anyways and it explains why as Wix is not considered professional at all in the real world. I made 55 posts and a book right now is just over $100.
