Follow what you love
Follow what you love,
and it will take you
where you want to go.
-Natalie Goldberg
About a month ago while out thrift store shopping, I ran across a set of cards with vintage children's book illustrations on them and comforting little quotes on the back of each one. They are called Sweet Dreams Cards
This is my favorite card from the set and I keep it on my desk at all times. I love the quote on the back and that it's a cruise ship. Since, I'm doing the whole bead cruise thing and I really feel like I have a course plotted out for me to follow to reach my dreams. It started with the cruise, it will lead into teaching at 2 national events next year, hopefully more as the year progresses, and a book in the works. (but far from being published - yet!)
What I love: creating.
Where it will lead: hopefully to living our dream of being at home in the sleepy little town on Lake Michigan, working as artists.
I keep telling myself, that even though there aren't many opportunities for artists in that town, for goodness sakes, it's 2 hours from Chicago. The whole world is just a quick drive down the road.
I miss everyone back home. Mom, enjoy the sunsets this week for me, make sure to get your feet wet and look around for a piece of beach glass or two.
