I'm Back and Flying Free!!


I went on an art-n-soul journey and it has forever changed my life!  I originally wanted to take the Soul Restoration class for all the beautiful art projects that Melody showed but what I received was far more.  It has set my life in a new direction and I am so excited!

I will do another post on all the projects so you can see what I did.  I won't get to detailed with them because it is a personal journey but one I recommend.  Check out my last post for the details of the class.

I also, am in the process of getting my Etsy shop open!!!  I opened it over a year ago and am now finally going to put things in.  yeah
The item I am starting with are journals.  This was a big deal in the class I took and has moved me to make them first.  I will be doing other items too so please stay tuned!!   

I have a motto for myself and it is "Be Brave, Be Bold".  I am a shy person but as you can see from the picture above I am coming out. yea baby  I am tired of living in fear of what people would say by the way I look or dress so I put on a fun hat (which I never would do before but think is fun), one of my favorite jackets (I added the collar awhile ago, floral of course), and wore some fun jewelry which is so me and went shopping!!! I am moving past the fear and starting to live the life that was meant for me, my true self.  I love color and I love funky stuff so this was my first step on becoming me.  I have to tell you I felt uncomfortable and it was hard to look at people but I did it and that is what counts.  I am on my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm doin a little dance..cha cha..swing...dip... :)

Also, I am going to do some changes on this site so stay tuned for that too.  I am hoping it will be a site that will have lots of encouragement, uplifting posts, and just a fun place to be.  So be watching for that too. Blogger does tell me that I have met my quota for adding gadgets to this blog so I am not able to change my header and if I do remove it I won't be able to put another one up.  I am not sure if I am ready to have just a word title yet because the one that is up is still apart of the person I am. So for now it stays but I did add a subtitle of the description of the blog I am trying to do now.

I love being back and I have so missed you all!! So thanks for stopping by and do something brave for just you today, it will make a difference and it will change your life even if it is something little.

I'm glad to see you back! We have the same hat but yours looks like it is felt? Mine is a jean type fabric.
So happy for you that you're on this journey and finding your true self.
