Sailing with the Winds

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. "
- Mark Twain

A ship in harbor is safe, but thats not what ships were built for.

Courage.

The quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.

Obsolete . the heart as the source of emotion
Have the courage of one's convictions, to act in accordancewith one's beliefs, especially in spite of criticism.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow.

Every girl is different. She is unique. Her passions make her who she is. It is true that many of us share similar ideas and interests, but in the end, it is all the small things that make us who we are, and special in our own way.
I am an artist and a growing, ever expanding soul; and all of the things i love shape me and inspire me. In this regard I am no different, yet my favorite things are entirely my own.
These are things that motivate me, I like to do and look at.
Here are a few of my favorite things...In them, you'll find bits and pieces of me.

the end.

this is beautiful, inspiring and true.

the changing of the seasons

Well last week I finished school. My Red Deer College Visual Arts Diploma is complete! What an absolute amazing 2 years. So here I am, with a week before I start work. I have been spending the days outside: running, sitting on the deck, and prepping painting boards. Sigh.. it's quite the life. So with this new season happening, I thought I would share some spring-like images from the past few weeks!
