And that HOPE thing

I wonder about my direction, but I dont Question my direction.

The man in charge doesnt need to give direction.

You will find only what you bring in. That YODA is one smart cookie.

I am thinking more and more that when I try to be in control, the more out of control I be.

Not only in my place here, but in my thinking and my art, and my relationships.

The best example was when I joined the local craft guild, and I was pushing to do my stuff to sell at the big Christmas Crafty thing. Not only did I operate outside my comfort zone, I did not sell anything.

HELLO, Is there anybody in there? Pink Floyd

Gee, the hours and hours I crammed crafts were not only insulting to my muse, they were very hard on me physically. WHY I thought folks going to a craft sale would buy my stuff I have no IDEA.

The fact that I made some cute things that were pretty over the top in the way of blinged up every day common items and re-purposed (that means I twisted things into a different use category, like shoes were now Photo Holders/Card Holders, like that) them and made them beautiful and really pretty cute.

Really

The dollars I spent at the DOLLAR STORE were not even partially recovered.

And the stuff I bought at the AGAPE Thrift store ( and the other stores where I vow to take my business to help local economy) was not ART IN VAIN, but now I have bins and bins of my loverly stuff.

Beautiful Beautiful Gift Tins perfect for slipping in a stocking or alone add a beautiful art piece to CASH gifts.

Here is where the HOPE part comes back to haunt me

I only used my powers for good

So in trying to SELL my stuff, it didn't have the mojo going

I NEVER sell my bottles of hope, and still have not and will not

My art made with LOVE and given from my Heart, will always be the best.

QUOTE: you can't sell hope. you can only give hope.

My very own words, I will stick by them
