I've been working my way through a few of your posts and really enjoying them~<br />You are a beautiful artist! and writer as well : )<br />Blessings to you~ Karen ORoosterhead Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085120740728639979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780183940619955585.post-71653720738341371242015-10-19T07:43:34.968-07:002015-10-19T07:43:34.968-07:00Hi Kerrie..
What a beautiful thing to realize your...Hi Kerrie..<br />What a beautiful thing to realize your purpose and to have the support of your parents at such a young age. I can also remember living for the future when I was younger and even some in my older years. I wanted to run from some circumstances but had to come to peace with them. But as I work on giving everything to God and trusting Him, He has led me to a place of peace and has ultimately put me on this road of finding and expressing myself through seeing and creating beauty. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely thoughts and experiences and for coming by.<br /><br />Blessings to you <3<br />Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944830859647370706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780183940619955585.post-10951885918820745892015-10-17T10:02:36.333-07:002015-10-17T10:02:36.333-07:00This is how I choose to live too Tamara. At my age...This is how I choose to live too Tamara. At my age I am realizing that when I was young I lived with a future mind set and I find that too many people live in the past when they are old. Living in the present is a freedom. There is peace in it and I believe it takes trust to do it. Trust in God. I have been an artist since I was little. My parents have framed drawing of mine from when I was five. I have known that is who I am for all my life. It took a long time to find the freedom to be a full time artist. Blessings in choosing to live present and in all that you create. xo KerrieSeawashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299816851144887705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780183940619955585.post-58671988688751914652015-10-15T09:59:36.905-07:002015-10-15T09:59:36.905-07:00Hello Tamara, what a beautiful post and so true as...Hello Tamara, what a beautiful post and so true as so many of us over extend ourselves!

Too many things that I'd love to learn and do and too little focus on what's most important and on the here and now.

I loved to hear of your creativity as a child. I was always very creative too- drawing many pictures in my sketchpad, making my own cards, writing my own books full of stories- happy times- I suspect that is why I am still very much a dreamer.xKezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.com
