"I was reminded...how good change is for us. How it picks us up by the ankles and shakes us just a little to let us know we are indeed ALIVE." - Dreama Tolle Perry
Happy New Year! With gratitude to each of you that make a big difference in my life! I love to read the rambling thoughts of artist Dreama Tolle Perry, they are always uplifting and today, the start of a NEW YEAR, I stumbled across these thoughts on change. Many of us, myself included, are afraid of change, and afraid to admit that we are afraid of change, it takes courage! We need to remember that we grow from change, just like the earth changes through its seasons bringing joyful seasonal patterns that we love, or at least make the best of!
As I reflect on all the wonderful things that happened this year (there were some horrible, too, but it's a new year and I am letting go of those thoughts....really, I swear I am) I am overwhelmed with all the support from friends, family and collectors and galleries that represent me. Life is good, I am blessed AND your life is good, and you are blessed too!
I don't really make New Years resolutions, per se, but I do like to reflect on some thoughts, challenges, inspirations that are coming my way in 2015. I invite you to do the same, sometimes having these in 'writing' helps us to focus a bit more on what we originally dreamed of one day.
As I close my gallery here in Stephenson and CHANGE to a new gallery location in Door County, I am anticipating a great year filled with challenges and new adventures...I'm always up for a new adventure...wish me luck!
