Art Inspiration: My Journey .... Chasing Your Dream to Create Your Future

Hello Dear Friends~

It's been quite a while since I've shared 

anything of my soulful journey of finding my way

 along the winding path of 

this artistic and heart awakening.

*********

It's another day and that's a good thing. 

Everyday is rich with possibilities.

~ Dreams and hopes fly on the wings of tomorrow ~

Tomorrows always seems so full of promise and 

it can seem easier to dream for tomorrow than

to expect reality today.

And though it's good to have hope for our dreams,

TODAY 

is the time to take steps toward making 

those dreams come true.

And so writes :

isn't it gorgeous?

Are we waiting for something in our hearts to be born?

Maybe the birth has already begun.

 A dream can seem very elusive.

Appearing...fading..again and again..

I used to think of it all in terms of

"the being there."

Do you allow yourself the grace for the process?

 The learning of the skill...or the honing of a talent?

Are you thinking of everything little

seed that you sow to get there as a

 part of the beautiful process?

Is it protected by keeping the long-term hopes

in perspective. Are the tender shoots

allowed to grow in the light without being over-shadowed

by the pressure of expectations and the road ahead?

We stay focused.

Guarding that dream with all

the passion of a mother watching

over her babe as it grows.

We run after it every day,

never letting it out of our sight.

Learning how to nurture it in the every day and

adding to it's growth and strength.

Pushing through the hard things.

Remembering that there will be set backs.

Unexpected hardships and disappointments will come.

These things that seem to resist us will only

make us stronger.

Watching step by step.

 Recognizing the beauty as it unfolds before us. 

As the truth of what's in our hearts

begins to shine through the glory of what He

enables us to create with our hearts and our hands!

Always keeping the faith that we are being 

guided by The One Who

inspires and directs our paths.

If you are on a similar journey,

I would love to hear about your revelations. 

And ways that you have overcome as well as 

the beauty that grows in your heart and life.

I know there are so many different ways of expressing 

the passion and beauty that wants to

 overflow from a life!  

My admiration and respect grows for those

who are able to truly listen and stay true to

their hearts and course!

Wishing you blessings and beauty

for the rest of your week~

And always,

thank you so much for coming by. 

I appreciate your visits and comments so much!
