Living Full

Living Full

Opening the new day’s page –

Crisp and clean, squeaky ready

for the next scene of my life.

Grabbing whatever thought comes.

 Fresh, standing tall, unaware of how quickly

it can be thrown to the ground.

Wrestling my words to make some sense,

I greet the day.

Pounding the pavement as I whisk past.

Trees, bushes, flowers, people, - ocean breezes

kiss my skin as I pass through space.

Elevating a sense of well being,

I turn to unwrap the day.

Pockets of Prayers

My opening and gallery talk at Oceanside Museum of Art - See 10 minute video

http://vimeo.com/33137232

Today I have my video from the opening and gallery talk at the Oceanside Museum - the exhibition will be up through February 12th....
My first video....more to come from future exhibitions and talks....
There is always a flurry of activity preparing for an exhibition, lots of work, then as quickly as it came, it is over!
I do very much enjoy being at the openings and meeting people and hearing their thoughts about my work - I get energy from those encounters and that energy is what i take with me to the next exhibition and it helps propel me when i run out of steam.
I thank everyone who attends my openings - I am currently working toward more shows for 2012 and hope to be present for those as well.

Speaking Out........Personal Challenges

Today, I found yet another Ted talk worth viewing - link below. I don't want to give it all away so i will say the focus is on moving beyond our liimits and boundaries to live a life that fulfills our wishes and dreams. Sounds kind of corny, yes, but so tough to do. I do believe in challenging myself w/out freaking myself out - so taking things to a limit I can handle. It is very affirming and motivating to watch others do this too. Personal stories can transcend and transform and i will never tire of listening to people w/ the courage to speak out about their own personal stories....
