“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.” — Rumi
The closer I get to the month of April, the more I'm aware that this will be a crazy spring quarter. The upcoming Allied Arts of Whatcom County's Annual RARE (recycled art & reuse expo), weekend (April 1st-3rd), will be full of activities, exhibits, art workshops, and entertainment. Below, you can see a few images I have of my new art. I'm preparing several pieces to be on display in the art exhibit, & an art workshop that will be for teens up to adults. It's all has me pretty darned excited for the end of March to happen. While at the same time, I've got to get all my ducks in a row.
I'm pretty lucky to have such an amazing support network with loved ones who cheer me on. You know the times when we all face challenges like forgetting your morning coffee at home after a poor nights sleep and you're already on your way to work? When you feel a horrible migraine all day, and all you need is a hug, or you find out that someone you know passed away? There is a dissapointing news that your class had to be cancelled or you didn't get chosen for a position & you get a serious pep talk to learn how awesome you really are? Yup, that's what I'm talking about. Every single one of us has experienced hard days in life, and the only thing that can keep you going is having someone there for you. I have several amazing people in my life who help lift my spirits - and I don't mean with drinks. These are the moments that choke me up with a smile, and remind me how lucky I am.
So, with changes come challenges. There are several ahead of me, but they are all going to be great ones. I've got a few sticks in the fire that I'm using to spark ideas and areas of growth in my art and teaching.
