Gratitude
October 31st, 2006
What a wild month October has been. There has been heartbreak and drama and big life-changing stuff, liberally mixed in with joy, success, and even some good quality frolicking. I can honestly say that this has been one of the most difficult, yet most AMAZING times of my entire life.
I never dreamed in a million years that this blog would cause so many wonderful things to manifest in my life….i have met some truly phenomenal people, for which i am so grateful…all the kind words of encouragement and support mean more to me than i even know how to express. The inspiration that i get every day is so amazing, i NEVER take it for granted, not even for a moment!
And my head is still spinning at how sucessful i have been with my art/craft this month….making things was never realy anything i expected to manifest prosperity in my life. But, it’s happening. Mutation was grand sucess, and since then, my work is *still* finding homes. I can’t believe the orginal nine ragdolls are gone. It’s amazing that folks are connecting with my work, and loving it enough to make it their own! It boggles my mind…the scared little woman who doesn’t beleive she’ll EVER be good enough in me is slowly be relpaced with a new creature…more confident in her own ability, able to leap family dramas with a single bound and always always always involved with MAKING. That is my source of “power”…the thing that keeps me sane and happy. My purpose.
I am so filled with gratitude that my heart is bursting. I just don’t have the words to thank everyone who has offered me support and love, everyone who has purchased my work, everyone who has helped me while i stumbled over the rough spots along the path…but THANK YOU is all i feel i can say, because you have all been a huge blessing to me.
I am sad that October is drawing to a close, i will miss this most wonderful month. I have much frolicking with my little one and my nieces planned for today…i know it will be grand. I hope you all have an AWESOME Halloween too….and i can’t wait to see what the new month has in store for us all!!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If i could, i’d have you ALL over for my infamous tea and cookies….
