i am : looking

I am very often so far up myass in my head, I've started to take a step back from myself and see that I miss out on opportunities because I've cloaked them into something else entirely. 

I come from 2700 miles of road well traveled. 

I see my world in a new light thanks to an awesome coach who lead me to a new perspective.

I love that I now have a pocketful of tools to forge ahead.

I trust that this will be the year that there will have been enough rain to finally visit and shoot the poppy fields.

I believe in the power of asking for help.

I find myself dreaming of travel now that I'm home again. 

I wonder if writing artist statements, (about myself and about different bodies of work), will ever get easier. I also wonder if there will come a time when I read what I've written about myself at a later date, and I don't cringe.

I found out that I've been up in everyone else's business when I could have been tending to my own. 

I call on the power of  all the signs and talismans that I hold dear so that on the night of my group show I radiate, and my shyness is overshadowed in its illumination.
