I am so incredibly lucky to have so many inspirational and supportive friends...
I feel like I am a part of all of you...
Such a big family of friends who have one love which binds us all together...
glass...
It is the common passion that keeps us all so interested...
glass inspires me to learn more...
try harder...
get better...
Knowing the traditions of Murano and glass history I know that I will not become great until I really work at it for at least 20 years...
Only if you learn many different techniques and hone your own craft then you can have an cohesive understanding of glass....
I see it in some of the glass artists I have been fortunate to watch and also learn from...
My experiences learning glass and becoming a glass artists has been the most rewarding, challenging and necessary pursuit I have ever taken...
I am blessed, I took this dirt road, away from expectation...
following my dreams...
trying to pursue things that I always thought was out of my reach...
Things I never dared to imagine...
I do have dreams, even with this disability...
its time for me to really battle through and make some of these dreams come true...
Dreams become reality...
Even now I'm amazed that my world didn't completely fall apart...
I am still here, modified...
I think facing fears beyond what I ever imagined has really helped reduce the amount of fear in my daily life...
I only have today...
Today is my tomorrow and I need to enjoy it...
I can plan for tomorrow but I feel like I am walking a tight rope of life...
Every time I get up...
I sprained my ankle on Super Bowl sunday...
Nothing broken but it hurts crazy bad...
makes it harder to walk and painful...
I feel like its slowly getting better...
I'm just super tired of having injuries as I am accepting that it happens....
I need knee surgery once I heal...
Maybe I'm secretly freaking out about the surgery?
Most of the time I internalize my feelings and thats when the welts come...
Hopefully no welts...
For a while there I felt like posting my injuries...
Not this one...
I'm tired...
I need to work on my body harder...
Its amazing how much a week of no exercise can mess with my body...
