Give yourself a break! So many years spent shooting darts at an unknown star. In all this time, I just wanted to be a part of this life. To be actively striving and reaching towards myself.

For that self that smiles through the dark times. Who knows that even when my mind takes me around the bend, I can let go and say I cannot pretend. I am not the awards that make it to the finish line.

Instead I let love grow so the self can know that all is ok. The mysteries lead us to all those defining moments. I have been told that my greatest strength is my stubborn will. NEVER LET THE DOUBTS be the reason you drop out. Let the rise feather out the ash to fly.

I google search myself ever so often to see where I am in my process. 

Over the years I moved away from designing and making, but in this past year I have returned to where I always belonged.

I have been committed to threading the needle, over and over again.

Most importantly I have allowed myself the freedom to find the artist within and share her creativity with the world.
