I’ve put together an in-depth guide to overcome loneliness, boredom and anxiety as we self isolate due to the #coronavirus pandemic.

I’m sharing my tips and strategies for #workingfromhome; dealing with anxiety; and ideas for things we can do while we’re in lock down. {Being an introverted hermit, I’ve basically been self quarantining for most of life! 🤪}

I hope you find some useful pointers here.

Stay safe, guys! #COVID2019

Some photographs from the art show. And one of me posing with the 4 paintings I exhibited!

‪As we celebrate #RepublicDayIndia is it time to rethink who “We” are?‬

New on the politics #blog - a post that I had in my drafts for a very long time. Today seems the apt day to put my thoughts together.

Read & tell me what you think? Who is the “We” in We, the people of India?

Alrighty then! I’m going to try and do this as a thread.

This is the first stage of the painting. I just chose a few colors that were calling to me, and added them onto the canvas.

No agenda, other than laying down some color and making a few marks.

When the husband saw it as this stage, he said it looked like a painting of a rat’s ass! 🙄 {I’ve helpfully labelled said rat’s ass on the painting 😏}

Hola! I’m Shinjini. I tweet on Birdsite as @modern_gypsy. I’m a self-taught artist, exploring my inner landscape through paint & mixed media. I bring my interest in depth psychology to my deck of tarot cards, which I also use as a jumping off point for art & writing.

I’m a cat momma to two tomcats, Simba & Loki. I’m an avid reader - fiction, mostly, & some depth psychology & a tiny bit of philosophy.

Left, liberal, secular.

Just recorded a podcast episode that I think I’m gonna have to scrap. And re-record. Why am I so iffy about sharing my thoughts? 😤

‪Just sent off all the videos (11 of them!) and PDFs for my lesson in Pull Pen Paint: a 10-month journey with #art #tarot and #journaling.

‪Can’t wait for it to go live, and for the PPP community to dive into it!

There’s a fabulous line-up of teachers with some amazing classes on tarot, art, and more.

I’m planning to try out Substack for one of my newsletters. The platform let’s you charge for them, which is interesting and is something I may consider - for a spin-off more in-depth version of the newsletter.

But this one will always be free - with a paid option sometime down the line.

If you’re interested in #tarot & #astrology, consider signing up:

Sooo....I have a couple of creative projects up my sleeve. One of them is an art #podcast!

It’s just a totally crazy whim, though I do have quite a few ideas brainstormed.

The intro/teaser is here, with the first episode to release on 1 August.

Have a listen and subscribe? It’s available on iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher. 😄

Or maybe I just need to mute/unfollow a whole bunch on handles on bird site? 🤔

I love all the cat photos I see every time I log onto Mastodon. :)

That, and the political tweets seem to be fewer and less triggering, somehow.

I just wish there were more of us here. It seems awful quiet here sometimes.
