Original ACEO - "A Gift I Give to Myself" by Julie Miscera Inktense on Arches 140 watercolor paper.
Years ago, when I was stressed out, I talked to my girlfriends and they said I need to have a gift that I give to myself. It is highly personal and different with each person, but sometimes you need to have to freedom to give yourself something. It does not need to be something that costs money or very little. For me, I left work early and went to the park alone. I was a treat that nobody knew where I was and I had no demands upon me during that time. I went home refreshed and also happy with the secret that I found something that recharged me that I could do for myself. It is different for each person. We work hard and this is a reminder to treat yourself in some way.
