hello there♥

Let's start with a little introduction, shall we? :)

Connection is what fuels me.
Connection through art excites me beyond explanation...:)

I am 18 years young. I know what you're thinking- but I'm not your stereotypical 18 year old. I dance to the beat of my own drum. I have a young heart fully enthralled in life, but an old soul that allows me to see the world in a different way.

My interests include just about everything under the sun. Art. Lacrosse. Theatre. Harmonizing. Backpacking. Longboarding. Sunsets. Going places I've never been before... I'm all about "what's another way?" Trying new things and seeing things in a new light excites me.

I firmly believe that we can do ANYTHING we set our mind to!!!

Every skill I have I've started at rock bottom and built up to where I am now. Everything I have I've worked hard to get- and it's made me all the more grateful for it. I'm not even slightly a master, but oh I'm so happy with the progress I've made and thrilled for the progress I've yet to make.

It's ALL about the process♥

I started blogging because I personally LOVE reading other blogs. I have a long list of blogs I follow, and every post I dote on their every word. 

Blog reading for me opens a window into their life, 

and a mirror reflecting truths and solutions for my own.

My blog in the past was sporadic and posts were rare. But I have taken a 7 day challenge from the inspiring and radiant Alex Beadon, and I will be posting a feel good post everyday. Let me tell you one thing, I am stubborn. Some see that as a bad thing, but let me tell ya: 

When I want something, I am pretty stinkin determined!!! :) 

So do not fret. Even if it means waking up in the wee hours in the morning, or pulling all nighter. 

It will be done. :)

I'm writing this blog for you. 

Yes, you! 

You wonderful, 

talented, 

creative you. 

I know what you're thinking,

"Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? 

Actually, who are you not to be?" 

I know, I know... I have always LOATHED this quote by the inspired Marianne Williamson. It kinda freaks me out and then feels all arrogant and then freaks me out and instead of empowering me it just makes me want to hide into a hole and duck for cover and maybe become a hermit and live in a cave and eat leaves and only talk to potguts until i become wildly insane..............

know the feeling??

Friends, I am currently in the process of a 90-Day Success Attainment Program. I'm overcoming these negative beliefs, and boy am I starting to believe this!!!! I want to share the good news with everyone: whatever your passions, whatever your dreams, whatever desires you have, you CAN achieve them!!!! I full heartedly believe this!!!

My 90 day goal has to do with becoming a channel for God's creativity through my artwork. I'm also pairing it with the BRILLIANT book The Artist's Way. If you want to increase your creative capacities in any medium: singing, African dance, writing, pottery, gardening... anything: I highly recommend this book. I'm am SO excited about this goal of trying to create art more authentic to me and with a message of vulnerability of hope!! I'm overcoming SO many challenges along the way and it just makes me so excited. I AM UNSTOPPABLE. I firmly believe that with God on our side we have the power to do ALL things!!!

I want this blog to be a place you can go to 

get some positive energy and maybe even get your creative juices flowing. 

Because who doesn't need more of that in their life?? 

I know I sure do! 

Now let's look at that beautiful quote I mentioned before.

Read it out loud right now, take a   d e e p  breath, and start to believe it!! :)

"Our deepest fear 

is NOT that 

we are inadequate. 

Our deepest fear is that

we   are 

p  o  w  e  r  f  u  l 

       b   e   y   o   n   d       m   e   a   s   u   r   e      

It is our light, 

not our darkness 

that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, 

Who am I 

to be brilliant, 

gorgeous, 

talented, 

& fabulous? 

Actually, 

Who 

are 

you 

NOT 

to 

be

?

Y o u 

are a 

child 

of 

God.

Your playing small

does not serve the world. 

There is nothing 

enlightened 

about shrinking 

so that other people will not feel insecure around you. 

We are ALL 

 meant to  s h i n e,

as children do. 

We were born

 to make manifest 

the glory of God 

that is within us. 

It is NOT just in some of us;

 it is in    E  V  E  R  Y  O  N  E

 &  as we let our own light shine,

 we unconsciously give others permission 

to do the same. 

As we are   l i b e r a t e d 

from our own fear, 

our presence 

automatically 

liberates others."

.........

I mean, WOWWWW.

Friends, I have one question for you.

What would

YOU do

if  A N Y T H I N G

was possible?
