6.5 x 10" Watercolor on Paper "I cannot stand...and I am going to hold your had while I say this: Men, engineers. and I mean that with my full chest!           I don't know if you don't want to listen to me because I am a woman. I don't know if you don't want to listen to me because I am younger than you. I don't know if you're just actually that bad at your job. But I am siiiiick of going into meetings where I have to defend the data I have ALREADY gave you.  Like that data I gave you on May 24th that said, hey,  "This isn't going to work."  And then on May 28th, "Hey, this isn't gonna work." And then in June 12, "Hey, are we gonna fix this? This isn't going to work" And then again on July 8th.  And then all of a sudden we get this week and you're  flabbers gasted. Timbers shiver. Because your shit doesn't work and then I have to go into this meeting and say,  "You knew that. I told you that....

  6.5" x 10" Watercolor on Paper           "If you grew up as the, "good" kid, the one that nobody ever needed to worry about, theres some things that you needed to hear your entire life. I am going to say them to you now. (I'm a good kid in recovery and I am also a Trauma Therapist now. I was a burned out, overachieving, people pleasing, perfectionist, pushover and shape shifting chameleon for most of my life and I teach you how to heal yourself and how to break these cycles for your kids.) Alright, are we ready? Lets go!           You are not a burden. You're not a burden. It is a privilege and an honor for people to take care of you when you're struggling. You don't have to earn love by being "good" and accomplishing and preforming and pleasing and doing everything perfectly. You are NOT hard to love. You're not. You're easy to love. It's a privilege and an honor and a delight to get to love you.     ...

It's the price you pay for greatness and the sooner you accept that is your fate, that if you want to be great at something, music, dancing, acting, writing...I don't know, creating a business, whatever the fuck it is. The sooner you accept and expect embarrassment, and you just accept it as the sacrifice the cost you have to pay to be fucking great at something, the sooner you're gonna become excellent.  You cannot skip that failure. How will you learn otherwise? You will never ...

I love coaches, first of all. I love me some football coaches. But he's got a vibrant personality. He's always smiling. He seems like a really decent human being, which is what we need right now. I love the fact that he knows how to roast, but ha also knows how to stick to the bottom line of what this campaign is about. It's about the American people.  It's about affordable housing.  It's about affordable healthcare.  It's about women's reproductive rights.  It's about LBGTQIA rights.            It's about climate change and bands on assault weapons so that another school doesn't get shot up. Like, this is what we need in this country. I love the Harris Walz ticket!"  Harris and Walz 2024!  ...

7.5" x 10" watercolor on Strathmore paper      On the campaign trail this past week, Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz visited Eau Claire, Wisconsin. As the rally concluded, they exited the long blue stage.  Just as they got to the end of the stage walkway, Tim jumped down and immediately grabbed a book from a little girl in the crowd standing with her Mom, pen in hand. Tim then ushered the book to Kamala, handing her the pen. Kamala then took the the time to not only sign the book, but to write the little girl a note. When I saw this, I knew I had to capture it.  -A. Delight

And the majority of divorces, like 70% of divorces are asked for by women. And that right now, the highest divorcers right now are what they call, "the grey" or women above the age of 50. The women that are doing this are so courageous and so amazing because they're divorcing their husbands and they don't have any retirement, they don't have a 401K. They weren't paid for the emotional labor that they did in the relationship....
