the innate sense of purpose and direction in my life is this: to love others and help them become whomever it is they are to become. to nurture and inspire the loving creative nature of people-whomever i encounter-so that they, in turn, might some day do the same for others, regardless of their chosen profession or path in life.
eventually i want to make a career out of offering art experiences, crafty adventures, creative fellowship, and the like to those who are lacking such outlets in their lives.

"dream catch me...

dream catch me when i fall, or else i won't come back at all."

i am enchanted in this world that i have created for myself. i close my eyes and reach out my hand...,"trust me!" it calls. i'm reluctant, but i push on through a door and then i'm falling like Alice down the rabbit hole; it's comfortable and i feel lightened, free...
i float down like a feather and land in a place that is strange but familiar. it smells like warm milk, rose petal soap, sun kissed skin...the scents of my childhood. "where am i?" i whisper to myself. my words echo strangely inside my own head... inside my own head... inside my own head.

"there's a place i go when i'm alone, do anything i want, be anyone i want to be. but is us i see and i cannot believe i'm falling. that's where i'm going, where are you going? hold it close, won't let this go. dream catch me... dream catch me when i fall, or else i won't come back at all." -Newton Faulkner
