My 3rd Anniversary

Three years ago today I sat down at my computer for the first time and wrote this post:

When you step off a cliff you have to believe that you will be given wings to fly...So, I have stepped off the cliff and into the world of blogs after being told by so many people to "get your art out there!". So, here it is and here I am. My wings glistening silver, gossamer thin, fluttering madly, a hummingbird of expectation, as I begin this new journey in my life. As I proclaim to the universe that I am an artist, a creator, a woman who finds meaning and beauty through her hands and her heart.

Here I am still writing...my wings still flapping madly in the breeze. This journey has included so many things: Friday Fill-Ins, Sacred Sundays, discovering other blogs I like, One World One Heart, The Next Chapter with Jamie Ridler working through 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women, The Happy Book, The Joy Diet, Wreck This Journal, Project 365, starting to sell my jewelry at Maarten and Mark's gallery Slice of LIfe, Friday Fifteen and so many days of reflecting on my life.

Blogging has not been all that I thought it would be but it has given me a place to share my creativity and try to connect with others of like mind and interests. I have not yet connected as much as I would like but I am okay with that. I am grateful for the other artists I have found and been inspired by.I am grateful that I am still in good health and can keep sharing this part of myself. I am grateful for all that is good and right in my life and for the strength I have to work through those things that are bringing me anguish and conflict.

So, happy anniversary to me. May my wings keep fluttering and may the breeze keep to carry me along in this journey of life.
