It's time to go

I am constantly ticking, itching to go new places. This travel itch can only be scratched with the satisfaction of knowing where my next trip will be.

"When there's a burning in your heart," describes the way I feel about my art. It's something I talk about a lot and come up with a lot of ideas for, but something I rarely actually DO. That is something I am working at getting better at- DOING. For me,following the Spirit in my life is key. I don't always know where I am going but I know that as long as I am doing what I know God wants me to be doing, I will be ok.

I have learned a lesson from art and from my knee wound I received in softball this week- it's better to get the right materials in order to get the best desired result. If I buy cheap brushes, the bristles break and fall into my paint and onto my work. When I buy cheap bandages, they never help my wounds heal the best. Most always it's worth the sacrifice of time, effort and money on my part to obtain the best materials possible for the best outcome.

I hope you are doing well my lovelies. It's easy to get caught up in the drama of life but if we all slow down a bit we realize the drama that is in life is created by us. Life is grand!

"You Are A Tourist"
by Death Cab for Cutie

This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher

When there's a burning in your heart
An endless yearning in your heart
Build it bigger than the sun
Let it grow, let it grow
When there's a burning in your heart
Don't be alarmed

This fire grows higher

When there's a doubt within your mind
Because you're thinking all the time
Framing rights into wrongs
Move along, move along
When there's a doubt within your mind

When there's a burning in your heart
And you think it'll burst apart
Or there's nothing to feel
Save the tears, save the tears
When there's a burning in your heart

And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
Then it's time to go
And define your destination
There's so many different places to call home
Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written
It's plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions
Would you agree?
If so please show me

This fire grows higher
When there's a burning in your heart
