Believe . . .
A few weeks ago, I purchased a lovely decorative binder to gather all of my creative materials from my "Flying Lessons" e-course. To help decorate the inside, I painted a little Kelly Rae inspired angel, reminding me to "Believe in the dreams of tomorrow!" and I included a little clear envelope where I could write a 'secret' note to myself with gentle reminders to "GO FOR IT!", to "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF" and a number of other little things to motivate me on my creative journey.
I've been carrying this binder with me everywhere. I write notes in it, I keep copies of the posts from class, I doodle in it. It has become my very own creative bible, so to speak. Katie knows that I am taking a "class" on the computer to help me and my "Art" and that this binder has all of my special notes in it. She has asked to look at the binder a couple times, and I love to watch her gently turn the pages as her eyes light up to the art work and doodles held within.
The other night, I opened up the cover and found that there was something inside the clear envelope. I was puzzled because I knew that I hadn't put anything in there yet (haven't gotten around to writing that letter to myself.) However, it looks like I may not have to . . . because when I opened the envelope and took the paper out, this is what I found . . .
My Mom is a Artist
Looks like the only thing I needed for motivation in my creative journey is my very own daughter. If she believes in her Mom . . . I wonder why her Mom has such a hard time believing in herself . . .
It's moments like this when that lump in my throat takes over and I count the MANY MANY blessings I have.
Life is Good.
Life IS Good!!!
