    Dream Big

    October 16, 2013 - By 

    dream bigI’ve reached the end of my cursed journal.   This is on the very end of the book.

    I realized that I used this same sentiment earlier in the journal but it seems to be one that comes to mind a lot for me.

    We must dream big or we will never reach for something just beyond our fingertips.

    cursed journalI think I’m going to leave the outside covers of the book as is at least for now.  They are a nice shade of teal with a geometric pattern that is pleasing to the eye.

    I always love the edges of an altered book or journal. All thick and wonky from paint and glue.

    After the hard start for this journal…making me feel as if it was cursed. Seriously…the first few pages of this book are awful. Luckily I skipped around so they are interspersed with pleasing pages.

    Embracing my inner artist

    Some days I have trouble labeling myself as an artist. I find it super easy to call myself a wife, mother and blogger…but artist, I struggle with.

     

     

    artist quote

     

    This quote makes me me realize that I can embrace myself as an artist after all.

    Now if my neck and shoulders would play nicely. I’ve been in pain since Friday afternoon when apparently I moved in some way that my body disagreed with.

    Looking down at the keyboard is very painful. Yes, I still occasionally look down when I type. I think mostly out of habit…but it hurts!!!

    Chiropractor in the morning…hoping that will set me right.

    take timeThis page is many days old. I’m not thrilled with the page itself but the words are resonating with me this week.

    There may be ch-ch-changes on the horizon. More on that at a later time.

    Hope your days are filled with the little things.
