Persistence

I used to be persistent when I was younger, kind of a squeaky wheel.  As I've gotten older I have chilled a bit, looked inward, tried to push less and allow more.  Now I feel I have become a bit complacent, waiting for something to happen when it really doesn't work that way.  We need to listen to our hearts and be guided but the work needs to be done.  We are allowed to aspire as long as we take what comes without resistance even if it wasn't in our 'plan'.

I think this year will be one of persistence, so I am making that my one word for 2012.

I have set some goals for myself:
List one new item in the shop every weekday.
To take Kelly Rae's e-course "Taking Flight".
I also aspire to attend a couple classes or ..dare I say it...an art retreat!

It all revolves around art in some way...creating a little something everyday...making it a priority...learning something new..looking for inspiration and guidance.

In addition, I do need to replace the part time job I left in October, take care of the family, and hopefully try my hand at some small decorating projects in the new house.  It's a full plate for 2012!!
