Welcome to Heart To Life Designs’ blog. This is more than just a way to expand my passion for art. It’s a way to accomplish one of my greatest dreams: saving someone from taking their own life. I am a strong supporter of To Write Love On Her Arms, a non profit organization that strives to provide hope to those dealing with addiction, depression, self injury and suicide, as well as to shed light on these issues. (To learn more about TWLOHA, please visit TWLOHA.com) With Heart To Life Designs, 15% of all my profits will be directly donated to TWLOHA and invested in treatment and recovery of those who suffer.
Have a look around, visit To Write Love On Her Arms’ official site, visit my Facebook group and invite your friends! Who knows, you might end up wanting to join the street team sometime soon and maybe start your own movement to stop the suffering.

So, Ive really just been on an unnanounced hiatus and havent had any motivation for drawing in so long D: School’s taking a toll on me and I just cant find the creative bug. I think Im getting in back though, school’s over in a month and hopefully Ill be back up and running at the beginning of the summer!
-Find motivation
-Get commissions done
-Create more to add to Etsy shop
-Come up with some new prints and greeting card Ideas?
-Uhhh….
-Use deviantART more
I literally have had no motivation to draw for the past 2 months now. Ive got three commissions lined up by family and friends, and I have absolutely no drive to make myself complete them D: Honestly, I have no clue what’s up.
Anyone have any help for someone struggling with art block/ no motivation? Cuz I could really use it!
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
The ball drops and fireworks. Resolutions are made.
People scream and people kiss and is it possible to change?
Is it really truly possible to leave the past behind?
Welcome to Midnight.
Another year comes to a close. Another year begins.
With a moment in between.
Why the fuss?
Why the fame and fireworks?
Is it more than hype? More than something else to sell us?
Is there something to this holiday? Something true inside it?
Because isn’t there something inside us that aches for change…
Dreams it to be possible…
To let go.
To hold on.
To leave it behind.
To start again.
To be new.
Is it possible?
If you’re reading this, if there’s air in your lungs, then you’re alive today tonight right now.
And who can know how long we have here…
And is it a gift? Was it ever a gift? Did that ever feel true or could that one day feel true?
Are there things to fight to live for?
Moments and people… Weddings and children and all your different dreams…
Love…
Is your life more than just your own?
And are there broken things you were made to fight to fix?
Broken families, broken friends… Injustice.
Will you move for things that matter?
Wouldn’t it be nice if change took just a moment?
Wouldn’t it be nice if it were that easy?
Midnight and we’re new. Midnight and the past erased. Midnight and we’re free.
It seems to come slow. It seems to be a surgery.
Forgiveness. Healing. Sobriety. Letting go. Starting over.
It seems to happen slowly over time.
One day at a time, the choice made new each morning.
Will you fight?
Will you fight to be healthy?
Will you fight to be free?
Will you fight for your story?
Will you fight to get the help you need?
Change takes more than a moment, but maybe there’s also something to this celebration of a moment, something to the way it speaks to us, something to the way we fear it, and dream it to be true. Maybe it’s the most honest moment of the year.
It’s possible to change.
Welcome to Midnight.
Here’s to the possibilities.
Peace to You.
