{on knowing...}

Notebook

"... exactly what I want for my life:
to make art: to sell and exhibit my work: to write: to be published: to make unique works: to make a full time living from my creativity: to live authentically: to teach: to lead: to share my story and my life in a way that inspires others, gives them hope and leads them to action"

I wrote these words on the front page of my notebook in late 2009.  A notebook I fill with all my creative ideas, dreams, hopes and plans.  I love coming back to those words.  There is such a complete clarity in their simplicity.  Even though I often don't know how, or when, or what to do next, there are some things I do know.  I know exactly what I want for my life.

  2. I love that you know what you want and that you also don't know how it will come together but you do know that it eventually will come together =-)

  3. That sounds like one good mantra. Maybe you need to have them written up on a board in front of you? It might help to stay determined?
    look forward to seeing more of your art, and I found lots of great blogs from your last link to another artist. Thanks!

  5. This was very inspirational..I also have a journal I write my ideas, hopes, and dreams on but placing exactly what you want on the cover to remind you to be true to yourself is a brilliant idea...thanks for sharing..I really get inspired by reading your blog and I love the sunday snippets!!!

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.”
