A fresh look, new words...

"Your work is to 

discover

your world and

then with all your heart

give

yourself to it."

~ Buddha

It's a   n e w  y e a r - h o l i d a y s  are over...
 the dust is settling, as the last ornament is packed away.
I don't know about you, 
but this time of year always leaves me 
r e f l e c t i v e,
p l a n n i n g,
a n d  m a k i n g   p ro m i s e s
to myself,
 to simplify
and make my time count more
in the newness of this year.


So to start off  2 0 1 2
  I've done some thinking,
and have chosen some words 
 to guide me into an  
a r t ~ f u l l  
year.


 w o r d  thoughts...


~how I see myself... 
encourager
grower
seed planter
believer


~what I want to be more of... 

brave

art doer

focused

cultivator

~in 2012 I want to...

color outside the lines

be uninhibited

explore without fear

have less expectation

~and most of all... 

I intend to 

keep discovering

and give to

my art 

with a full heart!

How about you... what are your words,
your art thoughts, your promises to yourself 
in the newness of this year?


There's always something to discover...
we just have to keep looking.
