I am 44 years of age. As I was in the kitchen, I was using my PC to look up Grant Funding, while helping my son do his school work off the main computer, while texting my husban on my cell, as my youngest son watched Netflix in the Tv room, and my other son watched Netflix in his room. I thought if you would have told me when I was a teenager that I would have been surrounded by all these amazing gadets, I don't think I would have been able to wrap my mind around it!
I am in awww of all that is available to me. I llive in an amazing time!
What make you have that "Wow" moment?

Did I really think what I thunk?
I have a goal that I hope to accomplish by November 2013. Does that seem far? Doesn't seem far when you get my age. You relized that time moves fast, that time will go by, so why not set goals and follow threw.
I begun a small self doubt about my goal. But the Lord quickly reminded me, through an experience I had as I watched the news. A Photographer named Linda Boyd took the time to use her talent to help 33 children in Foster Care find there forever family.
So yes, I really thunk what I thought. I must stay on this path, and accomplish this goal. That my talents and others who's talents are being called for duty will help those who have no voice.

Learning Something New, is that good?
Last night I began a new project. I decided I needed to learn how to oil paint. It's funny that all my life my dad, an oil painter, has tried numerous times to explain the color wheel, give me art mags to read, and videos to watch. I refussed.
I had NO intrest in learning how to oil paint in the least. But alas the stupid stick wacked me so hard that it wacked me into reality. Now I relized after the SVA show, that to move forward on the art curcit, I must learn to paint and paint WELL.
David Evans a most excellent instuctor accepted the challenge to teach me this art (oil). An art that has been around for centuries. His first and core teaching process is color in the darkness first, then bring in the light. Ugggggg! This is a challenge for someone who wants to color the spot then shade.
I knew learning to paint would be a challenge, but if I don't challenge myself, I won't grow. I pray for the desire to learn to love to paint, but for now, it is a real challenge to put the dark in first then the light.
But maybe that's a metophore. The darkness is there first, then the illumination comes in.
