New Year, New Me, New Blog!
As the clock strikes midnight, ushering in the dawn of a brand new year, a familiar buzz fills the air—the sound of resolutions, transformations, and the timeless anthem: "New Year, New Me!" This year, let's put a fresh spin on that classic refrain with a spirited twist: "New Year, New Me, New Blog!" I invite you to join me on this exciting journey into the world of blogging for the very first time. I know I might be fashionably late to the party—so please, no judgment! Haha!
1. I’m just Winging it!
I should probably introduce myself here, shouldn’t I? My name is Georgia, but you can also call me G. I am the proud founder and creator of Bumblegee Designs! As a digital artist, I pour my passion and creativity into every piece I create. My journey as an artist has been deeply influenced by my experiences living with chronic illness and being AuDHD, which stands for both Autism and ADHD and being a domestic abuse survivor. These aspects of my identity shape not only my art but also my approach to life and creativity.
Through Bumblegee, I aspire to create pieces that resonate deeply with individuals, celebrating the beauty of diversity and the uniqueness of each person. My work is a reflection of the diverse perspectives I've gained from my life experiences, and I aim to inspire others who may be facing similar challenges. While my art often touches on themes of disability, it is not limited to that; I also craft products for fellow small business owners, decorative items for your space, and custom artworks tailored to you!
Living with Fibromyalgia, ME, Hypermobility, and potentially other conditions has led me to step away from traditional work. In this transition, digital art has become my lifeline, allowing me to create and express myself from the comfort of my bed during flare-ups. This journey has not only provided me with a creative outlet but has also reinforced my commitment to sharing my story and connecting with others through art, that is why I created the More Than A DisabiliBee collection!
2. Last year was a real Stinger!
Absolutely nothing that happened last year was expected. My mental and physical health declined rapidly, leading to A&E, hospital visits and tests for cancer. Thankfully, all those tests came back clear, but I am still undergoing evaluations to discover what is going on.
Amidst these challenges, many things shifted within my friends and family. Surprisingly, I find myself incredibly grateful for everything that transpired. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. While it may not make sense at first, I know that one day it will all fall into place.
Alongside these setbacks, I've also been presented with exciting new opportunities in both my personal and business life, and I cannot wait to explore them further this year. As we transition into this new chapter, let's embrace the idea that those tough moments were integral to our journey, guiding us toward the brighter, buzzing opportunities that lie ahead!
3. Let the blogging Bee-gin!
So with that being said, I am thrilled to announce the launch of Bumblegee Blogs! This exciting new venture is set to bring you a unique and intimate look into the vibrant world of Bumblegee.
