Putting it Out There!

Good afternoon!

As some of you may know, I am very HAPPILY taking a creative online course called Flying Lessons, which is a course offered by Kelly Rae Roberts.

ย I am taking one small step at a time to turn my passion for creating art into my career. I have done a few things already, including updated my header for my blog, as you might have noticed from above. However, this next step might be one of the hardest for me.

I know I have shared some of my art, sporadically and somewhat hesitantly, over the course of the past six months, but tonight, I want to share all of my scribblings, doodles, and art projects, with the intention of letting the universe know, that I am an artist.ย 

WOW! That is incredibly hard to say, but
I am an artist.

I want to focus my energies on investing time on my talent. I want to take the necessary steps to focus, and learn more skills so that I can continue to put my art out into the world. My goal in doing this is to encourage women to live their lives authentically, with dignity, and pride, and if in some small way I can encourage and motivate someone to do something they might not have done, or try something they might not have tried, or even smile when they otherwise would not have, then I will have done what I was put on this earth to do.

So without further ado, here is my art:

Ok, so the good, the bad, the ugly,theย  gorgeous, the fabulous, and even the huh’s??ย  have all been shared!

They have now all been OFFICIALLY sent out into the UNIVERSE!!!

Officially!!!

Whew! Ok, that wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be! Whew – again!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

ย I totally need a break, my bravery muscles have thoroughly been exercised for the day!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have a FABULOUS evening!

Motivational Quote of the Day!

Here is your motivational quote for today!

โ€œ”Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it is good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more artโ€
~Andy Warhol

Thank you to my new friend, ‘Duchess’ Deborah Velasquez for sharing this AMAZING quote!!

Sunday Scribbling!

SUNDAY SCRIBBLINGS
suggests the topic ‘Forward’.
LOOKING FORWARD
What is life, but looking forward?
The past is past, what’s done is done.
All that’s left is upward, onward.
Where will you go?
Who will you be?
What will you do?
What will you see?
Life is fleeting,
Time proceeding,
Looking back will not reward
The only progress is forward.
Have a FABULOUS evening!

A Thursday Evening of Gratitude!

Good evening!

I have noticed a bit of theme going on with posts this week. Have you noticed it too??

It is happiness!

I have been spending a lot of time and energy on being thankful for the blessings I have and the blessings that I can see on the horizon, and it has caused me to change my perspective in my day to day dealings with people, work, stresses, challenges, and so forth. Looking at life through the looking glass of gratitude may be my key to life balance and happiness!

I really wanted to take the time to thank all of you, my readers, my friends. For stopping by and visiting, for leaving comments of encouragement or advice. I thank you for helping me realize how truly blessed I am, in being able to have this outlet to share myself, my stories, and my dreams with you! That is truly powerful, and for YOU I am truly THANKFUL!!!

So, I leave you, tonight, with this very short simple message of thanks…

THANK YOU!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Motivational Quote of the Day!

Here is your motivational quote for today!

โ€œThe deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out who you are, seek to determine what you want to be.โ€
~Neale Donald Walsch

A Beautiful Day!

Good evening!

I have been down and out for the last two days with a headache that just doesn’t seem to want to quit. So, instead of dwelling on that, I thought I would go back and pull out some lovely pictures that I had taken while out on a walk one morning!

Thanks for sharing that with me. It makes me feel better – I am exciting to be getting up out ofย  in the morning. You see, my sweetie and I are heading to out to spend time visiting with friends that we haven’t seen in almost 2 years! I just can’t wait! We are going to meet for breakfast and then head out to the farmer’s market – doesn’t that sound delightful?? I am looking forward to getting some lovely picture to be able to share with you!

Have a FABULOUS evening! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Long Day!

Good evening!

It has been a long day today! I stayed home from work today with a killer headache that just won’t seem to take a hint, and leave! So, while I have been seemingly stuck on the couch today, I have been seriously thinking and day dreaming about my little farmhouse!!

My Fancy FarmhouseI know that it will be here someday, but I have decided that even though I live in a small condo in the city with my husband, and two long-haired chihuahuas, I should still be striving to create my dream of a farmhouse lifestyle NOW!

RIGHT WHERE I AM!!

USING WHAT I HAVE!!

I am not sure what that means just EXACTLY yet, but it gives my daydreams new meaning!! How can I incorporate some of that into my life right now? Hmmmmmm…very intriguing!!

As I go and figure outwhat that means…

Have a FABULOUS evening! ๐Ÿ˜‰
