Every person I know (except one), online and IRL, is upset, stunned, ashamed, worried, etc. about the results of yesterday's election.

I imagine the mood here on DA mirrors that.

This is what is what I wrote on Facebook this morning to a loved one who exclaimed, "Don't say to me to relax, take a deep breath, everyone's gonna be alright...":

Relax, yes.  Breathe, yes.  But be complacent, no.  We must tip the scales back toward love and compassion.  Treat all humanity with respect and honor.  All life is precious.

As artists we can do this.  A difficult challenge has been set before us, and we will "up our game" to meet and exceed this challenge.  Be positive.  Be a beacon of light and hope.  Only then will everything be alright.

Peace and love to you all!

Still focused on work and family.  Also, I've gotten off a medication that was barely working and making me extremely lethargic.  Slowly getting back into a groove & hoping it's not a rut.

I've been away from DA to focus on work and family matters.  But all is (fairly) well.  Please send an e-mail if you need to reach me quickly.  The note system here doesn't alert me.

There are all sorts of groups here on DeviantArt.  The ones that warm my heart are devoted in some way to improving the DA community.  Today thanks to TheGalleryOfEve I came across one that promotes Comments.  Here's the link:

:iconprojectcomment:

This group encourages its members to give constructive comments in order to receive same.

Please check them out!

You don't have to belong to ProjectComment to comment constructively.  But if you're hoping to receive better quality comments and also enjoy writing them, this group should suit you very well!

For more information, please expand this thumbnail:
Comment Outreach - Raise Awareness + Contest!ProjectComment has actively supported and contributed to the constructive comments artists deserve for more than six years. Ultimately, we believe that every artist on DeviantArt, no matter the kind of art or skill level, deserves at least one constructive comment. More importantly, we believe that every artist can provide that constructive comment.
For us, a constructive comment communicates something you like and why, something you dislike and why, things to improve on and how to improve. That's it.
Our admins are dedicated and serious about commenting; our members are dedicated and serious about commenting. Commenting for us doesn't consist of one word or sentence as we try to raise the quality of feedback on DeviantArt.
Raise Awareness
What is Comment Outreach?
ProjectComment's Comment Outreach is a site-wide, awareness project that aims to educate, engage and elevate the interaction with art across DeviantArt, because we know



PS: I thought it would be funny / ironic to disable comments on this journal.  But I don't know how to do that on a journal entry!  :lol:
