New Semester, New Dreams, New vision. So I feel I need to start blogging again. Not only start again but also to start to share my work, my words and some things I am “working/struggling” on.
But I do have some stipulations if you’re going to start on this journey with me.
-Leave your Judgments outside- No body got time for that. Please.
- Help me Grow, seriously I need some encouragement
-Leave Critique. This helps me grow, how can I do better without it?
- Help my dreams come to realities.
I feel I need to be impeccable of my word. By this I mean really just continue to speak truth. I come by it honest, my filters (both verbal and facial expressions) usually doesn’t work. I feel this some times is both an asset and a hindrance. But I Choose to continue speaking truth. I need more Grace. I am very thankful that I already every day have Grace added to my life by namesake. But I Choose to give more Grace to those around me. This for me is a struggle, I guess because my fuse is short most days. So I Choose more grace. I Choose to make time to make art. This is my goal in life that one day I will get paid to do this full time, even if it is going and making art with little minds. I choose to art. I choose to make. I choose to do what I love. And I choose to make time for it on the daily.
My blogs are also going to try and encourage those who will read. I have been told in the past semester that I might not have been as encouraging as I could be and that I am harsh. I guess my words can be harsh but I am trying to speak truth. So I guess I need to work on that turn my harshness in the softness.
I do know some actually like to read these crazy ramblings out of my mind oddly enough And oddly enough people actually like me :) and my ideas. This still blows my mind. I know I know, how can you not practice what you teach…. Well world this one is hard for me. I still am coming to terms with the fact that my words do matter. This process of rebuilding myself esteem has sure been a LONG process. It is still a struggle. But I see the light in the distance it’s not so bright just yet but its there! It still blows peoples minds that I am almost 29 years old. I have been married. I am divorced. I grew up overseas. I am still in school. I have a Brother. My Parents are Missionary. I still don’t understand that it’s a shock that I was a blue-eyed blonde child who grew up in Kenya. The world is not that SMALL :)
This educational journey has been a real struggle. I have not only added education, I have added a life style. I go to work everyday, to learn, to help, and to listen. I come home and do the same thing. My work is never going to stop and that’s what I love. I love that I am actually perusing my Dreams. It took me a while to know what that was but I love that I am still on that path. I love that everyday I am learning new techniques in the many field I work in. I LOVE My life.
Thank you for helping reach my potential. Thank you for taking time out of your day to “listen” to these ramblings. Please Come back and see how my website/ works will be changing these weeks. If I have not blogged please remind me :)
