This was my "one little word" for 2009. It took longer than normal for me to find my word, but when I did, well... it was amazing how right it felt. (But that seems to take me by surprise every year.)
My journey was a kind of walkabout for me. It was to be about my art. About singing it down an unknown path... taking it to new places... new adventures. It was to be a journey of learning. And I was so excited to listen to the composing song it would create along the way.
At the time, I thought that meant a LolliShop. But it turns out, that wasn't the song my spirit wanted to sing. It wasn't the path the art wanted to take. But the path it has taken, has been a wonderfully amazing one!
I have learned SO much, this past year, about myself from this journey. The song has been a beautiful one. The melody flitting about like a butterfly through a sunbeam on a perfect Spring day.
One of the best aspects of this journey, has been sharing it here on my blog, with you. I cannot express to you how grateful and humbled I truly am by your constant return and the encouraging comments you always leave for me. They have helped to push me and my art, to new heights and places. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart for that.
I hope that every one of you has been and still are enjoying this Holiday Season. Bless you all and big hugs to you from me!
