Being creative and working with my hands is probably one of the purest and truest forms where I achieve complete bliss and happiness. Many of those whom know me will attest to this. I belittled my potential of being an artist because of my "lack of ability" to focus on just one medium. Perhaps there is truth in having a narrow focus, however at the same time my diverse hands-on explorations have been all too valuable in feeding my sensory needs.
I guess you could say this is a public diary of my personal creative processes - some entries with a focus and others more random, but all with the purpose to leave an impression on me in some way.
Note: The title of this entry comes from the words of a dear friend, Aimee Hansen. She is a writer and poet among her other creative talents with a true gift for words along with a pure and loving soul. I am so grateful for her presence among the many others who have continued to share support for my creative dreams.
