Now

When I started this Creative Journey in 2009,I started it with a plan and a time frame. I had my creative goals in check and all I had left to do was Believe I could achieve them.

(2009)

My Creative Goals were planned out in this order 

1-Start listing items on Ebay

2-to start a blog to promote my work

3-to open up an online Etsy shop

4-to have my work featured in a Publication

5-to start making money at what I love

6-to reach 10 publications in order to apply to teach

7-to start teaching at National Retreats at 2015

(2010)

Now,I'll be honest,my hope was to get enough publications by the time my kids were old enough (2015) so that I could start traveling and not worry so much about Home stuff...

(2011)

But as the powers that be would have it,my goals were reached sooner rather than later and I have been blessed with every step and my heart is full of Gratitude for every open door...

(2012)

and my last goal came to fruition with an email a couple of weeks ago that made me want to cry and laugh and scream...

I am so thrilled to share that I will be...

and I am scared out of my mind...

but that's ok

because...

So I guess what I'm trying to say is...

it's always nice to have a plan...

actually I think it's important to have a plan

and work hard everyday 

to achieve what you must,

what burns deep inside you,

and makes your heart sing,

but sometimes 

the powers that be have something else planned...

and you need to look that opportunity right in the eye

and with trembling hands

and a racing heart

just 

go 

for 

it.
