I
learned, I cried,
I laughed, I failed,
I was succesful, I failed some more,
I was confident, I was insecure,
I took action, I left my path, I regained focus,
I got many NO's and was even more ignored,
I got YES, YES, YES, I got attention,
I love life the way I am shaping it,
I love the way life is shaping me,
I don't regret my choice
to chase my OWN dreams
MERRY CHRISTMAS
to you all

Hello Mariska! I'm ever so happy for you and your accomplishments this past year. You have given me inspiration to take on a few things that I have been putting on the back burner for sometime now, because I was too afraid. Well wishes for the new year. Keep doing what you do, cause I need some inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful list Mariska, like your blog it speaks of your 'brightness'.
ReplyDeleteMy guiding word for 2011 is going to be 'light' and all that this evokes, so it will be wonderful to visit your space of bright light to inspire and boost me.

Mariska, I love the painting but I love the words just as much! I share so many of those feelings...and remind myself that when you're growing and changing and moving forward.....you sometimes get bumped and bruised in the process.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you're doing what you love!
