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.

time: my least favorite thing

time, is never on our side.
time is the great elusive mind game that one must learn to deal with in order to function effectively in life.
there is never enough time to "do it all" and there never will be; we must each make it a priority to find personal balance where all of the many facets of life converge.

when you sacrifice things that help to keep you well--sleep, personal endeavors, quite meditation, fun, relationships, exercise, nourishment-- for the sake of time to do things that "must" be done--school work, occupational work, commitments to others--this sacrifice bubbles over into ALL areas of your life and you can be neither completely effective nor completely happy in any of your pursuits. not to mention the fact that to continue to do so, will eventually run you down and bring you to a place where you begin to doubt your own personal worth.

find something that nourishes your spirit and make time to do it AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN. you may not be able to afford time every day, but one should never go more than a few days without at least an hour of personal enrichment.
