Tiny living = Tiny footprints. Not that I believe I can help God manage this globe, but it’s going to be fun to learn to live a simpler lifestyle.
Trust me, if God calls you to be on the road, you soon learn that lugging all your shit in tow is not fun.
I feel another huge garage sale coming on, so get ready Bastrop because I got good stuff!
We simply wanted to see if we would like to build or buy a tiny home one day.
I would have a large art space attached to it, but nothing else would be large – other than the great outdoors. I want a bit of land. When living tiny you want some outdoor spaces too.
We think we want something screened-in with a hot tub and above ground pool inside it one day.
Anyway – So far the answer is 100% yes – we love tiny living. But it’s only day 2.
We will see after I move over the computers, a tiny amount of my art supplies, and Kevin’s work clothes.
But um yeah. I’m digging it!
I would think you really need to do it with peeps who are all extremely accommodating. I can see that is so, and thankfully, Kevin and I have that.
So yeah. Tiny living.
Stay connected here – Let’s learn about this together.
What’s next for Kevin and Jana? We’re starting to see the plan, even though we can only see the 6 foot circle that surrounds us. The plan is starting to look simple, but the ability to have a relaxed mental attitude during great adversity took us a lifetime to find the understanding that God, and only God, can see the entire battlefield.
We’re all called to lean into the dark of the unknown. That’s a hard place to be, until you take that leap of faith. As many of you know this too well.
During this trial of testing, (test truly provided for our spiritual growth), we were able to be calm and relax into what seems like a never ending test; a test to prove our ability to stand fast in the wisdom that resides in our souls. The wisdom we earned through the hard, sometimes boring, but rewarding, daily work of studying the mind of Christ.
God’s wisdom is FREE to anyone who longs to understand what this world is all about.
There is no “what if’s” in It. It is absolute.
I’m so grateful we chose to grow up spiritually together. We live our life to “learn to live.” We did not take the more traveled road which is “fuck up a bunch of times, so you live to learn.” A road I was on, when I was a youngster.
God has the only true problem solving devises.
Kevin and I are nothing special … infact, we are deeply flawed.
BUT, I thank God … that ANYWAY, including my dumb ass, can jump on this ride. And let me assure you, adversity is inevitable, but the ability to handle it without stress is optional. Only in God’s wisdom can you find lasting solutions. Anyone who wants to learn wisdom, can. If you know people, who do not have the ability to learn, trust me, God has them. These are special and amazing people, with the ability to just be happy, and to love, as if it’s nothing – So don’t worry.
Too choose this less traveled road is hard at times, but deeply rewarding … It’s a spectacularly happy way to live.
Get your eyes off people and things to make you happy; they won’t and they can’t anyway. It only comes and goes … it’s fleeting. So learning God’s mind is the only way to true happiness.
We remain inside the light of that ring of fire that surrounds us. Nothing EVER may enter, unless it’s is God allowed with the purpose of spiritual growth. Evil flees from the truth. It’s that learned wisdom formed in your soul, where God can attach his happiness … thus blessings.
And trust me, I know, to anyone who has not taken that leap of faith, you must think I am bat shit crazy.
It’s something not any of us can understand, until you take that tiny leap of faith. And God then makes it real. This way of doing things is apart of the plan. It’s fair … but hard to see or understand it at first. I understand why it was done this way, if your interested in learning.
But with a little faith it all starts becoming real and the more you study the more real it becomes. Those thoughts of “what is this shit storm about!?” Before you know it, gets cleared up.
We are starting to see the plan that is our future, and we are so excited to see our next promotion.
Even though we are prepared for our greatest promotion, the day of our departure from human constraints. For now, it seems, God has other plans.
I have no doubt about what I’m to do.
That is to promote HOPE in other communities … I am to help build community driven art installations where we honor our loved ones.
So rather Kevin gets that one last huge grocery job (we will know more at the end of November about that), or if we are to become “Freedom Workers” – that is to be seasonal workers, helping small businesses survive the devistation of a government that sold us the biggest lie yet, a lie about security. The lie that states that “we got you!” We are excited about our future and we believe our last day here in Ruidoso, will be on or near 12/12/21.
Hey, if we are to become seasonal freedom workers (we should know by December about that) we would love Ruidoso to be our summer work/home! IF (and that’s a big IF) you guys fix the working class housing situation around here.
It’s really short thinking on the part of our governing body, and her citizens, not to correct this problem and correct it FAST!
Love, peace and most importantly FREEDOM to all! —- tm 2021 Jana’s Painted Artist – painting of a giant art instulation of people jumping out of their graves, and a drawing of a giant mural that I want to paint, titled Grace Pipeline. Oh! That’s me in the happiest place on earth “the ArtCave” – I wonder where that place will be next? Oh wait, it matters not, that place resides in me.
(While writing this our home went back into contract; we accepted their offer. Thank you God and the amazing team of experts that you brought us.
Installing paver art.Enjoy her my sweet, Village of Ruidoso I hope 10000 butterflies will be seen in her trees soon!Jana inventor of the Butterfly tree 2018 where we honor our loved ones.
I’m seeing a lot of fear conversion out here over my paver art being left in a public space … un-secure where someone could harm her.
If you learn one thing from me … please let it be this.
There is no such thing as security. PERIOD. I’m sorry we’re being taught and believe otherwise.
There is not enough money or man power in the world, to truly secure or keep anything safe … let alone my little piece of bleep PEACE art that you guys graciously granted me permission to display publicly. She doesn’t belong behind bars, does she?
She is a gift. Freely given by all involved.
She represents freedom. The butterflies will fly away. The art will not last forever.
Please don’t give into fear that something might happen to her. I beg you. Just enjoy her while she lasts.
Please just pray that she remains safe. PERIOD. And let it go.
If someone is set on destroying her … well, then. God has other plans. perhaps a very important lesson needs to be taught. Or maybe the next emerging artist needs to paint on it next.
God sees the entire battlefield. Let him handle the big things.
SO PLEASE … just pray she stays safe than it’s God’s business the only true security you got.
Look up instead of looking anywhere else … And remember … nothing lasts forever other than your soul and even it is FREE to chooses where it’s forever will be spent.

I get to go to a wedding in a few weeks of the first human I ever saw come out of the womb.
If you’ve never seen it. Set an intention to do so and see if you’re blessed enough to find someone who will grant this day to you.
Well, I had such friends … that one in a billion couple, who granted me this day, not just once but twice … Rebecca Lovett Dykes and husband Donald Elwood Dykes. Thank you.
My first, Ariel Dykes … I got the call that you were coming. I jumped on the plane. You waited me to arrive, I looked into you mama’s eyes and said “Beck, I could not do this, but you can”, and so she did and you were born.
Your umbilical cord was the colors of a pearl, you, I swear, can see the world inside it, and inside there runs the ocean with all the aqua colors of the universe running thur it – as the ocean turns to red blood … you know this child YOU, just entered an evil world, but you are here with great purpose, as we all are, and that is, to solve the angelic conflict … and your road will be full of rocks that test you daily. I’m happy to report, this, that YOU pass these tests, and applies solutions that propels you towards the light.
You are breathtaking.
And I saw God breath life into you, your first breath of air, and you, the most beautiful girl I ever saw, screamed out your first breath right into my face.
I cryed all the way home. Everyone on the plane ✈️ had to stand down … because they KNEW without a doubt, that this was my moment because I had seen a miracle. God decided her moment of arrival, and he and only he will decide her moment of departure. (Not your doctor, nor your government not you but God)
I can’t wait for Oct 23, 2022 – Ariel picked a good one to spend her live with. – Jaron Robertson … May YOU ALWAYS consider her first in every decision you makes. That is your charge a direct order from God. You got this!
So to the couple, Slow everything down now. You didn’t it! You are prepared. You have arrived to your special day. Take tons of mental photos.
And please try not to look my way on your day … as I’ll be the one in the back, having an emotional private moment.
I was happy … she seemed pleased.The bridal shower with Kevin, Ariel snd myselfThe wedding gift an Acrylic painting titled “the bride and groom”
I am so grateful I get the opportunity to work with my husband Kevin.
I knew he was exceptional, but until you get to work with him?! Well … he takes my breath away. He treats every business as if he owns it. There is no job there, that is beneath him. He just goes to work.
He’s a spiritual giant, so he has no problem serving people with great humility and respect.
What was Albertson’s thinking? … sad deal, fear rules the day … but No matter … we’ve passed the test. And we are beyond Grateful.
What an honor and a privilege it is to serve with him. It’s like God has just opened up tons more opportunities for us, so that we can continue TOGETHER to build HOPE … because simply put, it’s time.
I’m so grateful to my village for wanting the PeaceGarden in a public space. Thank you.
I can’t wait to see where we light next.
I want to thank Chon Caswell, Shal Holly and all the gang for welcoming us to the Casa Blanca Restaurant family. We love you all. We love your customers who now feel like our friends. It feels like family. We are SO grateful that you stopped our financial bleed out. Thank you!
Excited for our future. Hummm it may be we are to be in multiple towns … just hitting thier season and helping small businesses survive. Interesting and an extremely fun thought?!?
You need a job? … let me restate that … The job needs you … even if you have only one day to give. It’s yours … It’s time guys … it’s war now, we got to push back and help save small businesses … Go help I beg you. The money is great. I don’t know about you but I wanna eat out, go to bars, hear live music and shop local … it will be a thang of the past if you don’t go help.
I’m excited to serve you over at Casa. Join me at your table … Tuesday and Wednesday lunch. Thursday and friday dinner. Then the Paintedartist Artcave & Garden will be open Saturday and Sunday 1 to 4 pm … Until we get our marching orders.
Love and peace to all.
