With a brush in my hand & faith in my heart...
I often wonder what my heart is singing out to those around me.
Am I singing out about love? Wisdom? Hope?
Or has my heart’s song become one of anger, hurt or discord?
I’m hoping that the melody my heart is singing along with is one that is finely orchestrated by a loving and compassionate Heavenly Father…who is always patiently waiting for me to hand back His conductor’s baton when, out of fear or a need to feel in control, I’ve snatched it out of His hands.
Forms, fees, paperwork and tax stuff – Oh, My!
That’s right, y’all, I’m starting a business (insert nervous gulp here).
It will be called Anna K. Originals. I’ll be selling original art pieces along with prints and stationery. I’ll probably do some decor and accessory items, as well. Right now things are in the very early stages of start up. I know I’ll be doing some local arts and crafts shows and I’m aiming to do some online business, too. In fact, if I can get my hands on some funds, there might be a few changes around the blog…who knows?
I’m very nervous yet I feel like I need to try. Honey, life is too short for me not to!
The delightful Kelly Rae recently posted on her blog that she wanted to share some of the stories and artwork that people, inspired by her Taking Flight book, frequently sent her. She generously went on to invite her readers to join in….and I did.
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to be featured. I thought I’d get lost in the shuffle of the masses of submissions she’d most likely recieve after her open call. I checked in with her blog this evening and her feature post was up. I was enjoying the truly wonderful submissions and stories when -WHOA! Hey that’s ME!
So, if you’ve got a moment go take a peek! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go pinch myself….OUCH!
