A new friend :)
This is an example of why I love this blog world so very much. I have made a new friend...I can feel it in my heart. It's a wonderful feeling :)
Kolleen of HeartWing Sisters posted this question on her blog...

Kolleen of HeartWing Sisters posted this question on her blog...
"HOW DO YOU HANDLE THOSE LITTLE GREMLINS THAT CREEP INTO YOUR BRAIN AND SAY SOMETHING LIKE "WHO ARE YOU TO THINK YOU ARE AN ARTIST?? OR A WRITER?? ETC... ETC... HOW DO YOU NOT COMPARE YOUR WORK TO OTHERS??"
truthfully, i have been dealing with that a bit lately....i will go on other blogs and look at the A-M-A-Z-I-N-G artwork and think to myself "who am i kidding???" or "wow! their work is so detailed and gor-juss....mine is like a little kids." so i would love to know how others handle something similar...how do you handle those stinkin gremlins that creep about???
i am hopeful i am not alone in this!!!
The following was my answer to her....

Kolleen, Here is my take on this subject, and I think I just might be right on this one! :) I have decided that being an artist is not about what we produce. Its about the way we look at the world, the way things touch us and inspire us to create and leave our mark on the world. Who are we to judge what is art anyway, right! Being an artist is just who we are. It's the need inside of us to create. It's the way we look at a field of grass that the sun is shining on and say to ourselves, "wow! that is the most beautiful color of green I've ever seen!" It's the urge inside of us to interpret what we feel or see in our own unique way. But its not the product at all, its just the feeling in our soul and our hearts. Not everyone is like this. I think those of us that are like this are called artists. xo Not in a pretencious way either-its just a part of our personality. :)
Kelly!!!!!!
oh how i love your answer!!!
and i agree....
you ARE completely right on this one!!
what a lovely, magical way to look at what an "artist" truly is. i absolutely can relate to how we may look at a field of grass and exclaim "wow! that is the most beautiful color of green i've ever seen!!"
yes! yes! yes!
i own this part of my soul...this part of my personality...and i am so grateful for it!!
there are times i see something which i have seen hundreds of times before, but will say something and my hubby will be like "you act as if you are seeing that for the first time!!" i really LOVE when that happens!!!
thank you so very much for your comment...for your wisdom and wonderous way in helping me with my little stinkin gremlins!! i appreciate it more than you know!!
sending love and hugs
xoxo

And I wrote again to her....
Kolleen it is so true yes?! I know...sometimes my husband says things
to me too, like "you must see the world so differently than me!" One
time there was a full, bright rainbow out and I was driving and I had
to pull the car over and practically wipe tears out of my eyes cuz it
was so freakin beautiful! I think we are so lucky to be artists. I
love it when the little things that I've seen so many times before
just take my breath away...
I also think about the work of Grandma Moses...you know that older
woman who was an artist who painted paintings of towns and people and
farms and animals? Her art work was nothing special in the technical
terms and her perspective views were way off and her work was very
child like...but they are beautiful and touching to look at. Thats
all that matters...trying to put our hearts out there in some way for
the world and make it a better place.
Love to you!!!! Glad we are becoming friends :) Have a wonderful weekend xo

Good bye to an Angel...
A beautiful Angel named Renee has gone home to heaven. She touched so many people with her story and her honesty. She made this world a better place and all of us that met her, she made better people, just by listening to her words and her open heart.
Thank you for all that you have given to me Renee. I feel so very blessed to have you as my friend. I'll see you again someday and look forward to giving you a "real" hug.
You'll be in my heart forever.
Love,
Kelly

Time to set some goals...
Its that time again...I need to set some goals for myself. I'm SO not an organized person, that this is not an easy task for me. To set a goal, I need to research what I want that goal to be...then I need to write out dates on a calender, and remember to look at that calender!....and then I need to go for it! Once I'm going for it, I'm pretty excited. Sounds simple enough...but I just don't think my brain works in the A. B. C. sequence. I think it works more like A. M. U...back to A. then on to W! Time to put a leash on this crazy brain and make it work in order! hahaha!
Wish me luck! :)
Wish me luck! :)

Mark Twain quote...
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain
I'm trying Mr. Twain, I'm trying!

I'M IN THIS MAGAZINE!!!!!!
So I just pulled my issue of STUDIOS out of the mail box! What an exciting day! Of course I have already devoured every page, but of course my favorites are the ones with my studio in them :)
Here's a little sneek peek-if you've never seen this magazine, then you really must get one. It is full of great ideas for your own studio. It's very inspiring, one of my favorites as I love taking a look into other artists worlds!

If only I could go back in time, as who I am now...knowing who I am and what I want and need. How nice that would be. How simple things would've been.
