soaring to new heights





Doesn't this just give you a sense of freedom and empowerment?  Sometimes I feel very unsure of myself when I want to do something really big.  Like when I wanted to dip my toe in the pool.  But this painting reminds me to just be bold and step out in faith, that I can do it and I really can soar to new heights if I give myself the chance. 




That's me...half the time knitting without a pattern, and the other half, modifying it so much I'm not completely confident it will actually to turn out to be what it's supposed to be. 

Maybe that's how it is with life sometimes.  I just have to be true to myself and let my own creative spirit lead the way.  I always am incredibly inspired by other people's work, but I never want to copy.  I know we each have something unique and special and precious inside us.  I guess the joy of the journey is just letting it come out and seeing what it turns into.






Well, I hope you like it wherever you are, and that today you'll have the opportunity to just sit back, take a deep breath and enjoy the view for awhile. 

blessings and happiness,
Athena
