twenty ten was a very bittersweet year... i loved and hated it, and whether the times were good or bad- the year went by way too fast! i hope this year slows down a little, or maybe it is i that should slow down :) my intentions this year include taking more time for myself- to take better care of myself, to return to the things i enjoy, to spend more time with positive and creative people, to do more things that frighten me (i'm thinking i'll be a repeat offender in the bellydancing category!) and to stop over analyzing things. too much time is wasted wondering, i'm ready to just jump :)
the paintings i had been working on for the book due out in february have surprised me. i had plans and ideas and sketches to work from, and once the tubes of paint were opened, new things happened. this reminded me that while i can plan all i want to, i also need to allow things to be what they are-accept them as they are. life (and art) happens while we are making plans. changing perspective on things has also given a boost in confidence, being so self critical is a vexation to the creative soul. i will certainly try to be a bit more free with my creations, thoughts and feelings.
here's to 2011 being full of love, laughter, and good times with good people.....
