I’ve done a lot of that over the years…haven’t we all? Those moments of thinking and wondering about a dream that’s rooted in our hearts.

What if?

How can I?

Oh, it would be wonderful if I could…

When I was a little girl I’d dream of being a veterinarian or a teacher or (you guessed it) an artist. I’d tucked away the dream of being an artist in favor of pursuing more practical goals…y’know so I could make a living for myself. Girl’s gotta eat…and buy pretty shoes! After Mom passed away last year, it really sank in how short life is. I kept thinking that I hadn’t had enough time with her. There was so much more I wanted to talk with her about, laugh with her about, dream with her about…

In my heart I think it was the Lord that led my Dad to suggest making a small studio for me when the Hubs and I were remodelling the kitchen. And so, the spark of my girlhood dream was rekindled. With my Hubby’s encouragement, the flame began to burn brighter.

I began to allow myself the right to make that dream become reality. Tough thing for me to do.<

However, I’m always inspired to reach further, create more and dream freely when I’m faced with the loving support of my family.

The art you see above this post is a glimpse of things to come and another step in my journey towards pursuing my dream of becoming an artist.
