Gratitude


I have had some major mood swings lately and that can make for some difficult postings, so I have avoided this whole blogging thing! I am taking the Kelly Rae Taking Flight class and today's post happened to on blogging so I thought I needed to post whether I want to or not! I decided to focus on gratitude today. This photo is a view that I get to see every time I walk in my front door. When you walk in the door you look beyond the living and dining rooms into the backyard. This was taken a couple of months ago when most of the country was still getting snowstorms! I am so grateful that I get to see color almost every day of the year from my windows. It can be so inspiring!
I am grateful for this class because it is making me slow down and think, where I want and need to go next with my creative journey. I am grateful for the art show I am participating in next month even tho it is small and has no major following. I am also grateful that I met a most wonderful woman Mary, who has asked me to teach a class at The Urban Barn which has a huge following of the most delightful ladies you could ever imagine. I am grateful I was asked by Jenny Doh to share my story on Crescendoh.com. By the way it's posted this week! My journey has been a crazy one...baby steps and huge steps with no reasonable order but I suppose most journeys are that way. I am grateful no matter the size of the steps, I am always moving foward.

  5. Hi Julie, I just read your article on Crescendoh and wanted to tell you how much I LOVE your art! I also wanted to say that I can relate to what your shared, only the comments that came to me came from my mother. They have been hard to shake, but I too have realized that I am an artist and that is what makes me happy. Thanks so much for sharing. Your sharing encourages me to keep going. All the best!
