Glittery Sparkles Raining Down On Me

"Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there's love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong." ~Ella Fitzgerald

Once I wrote a blog post about growing wings. It was related to an Art Journal I was working on at the time. Now my wings are sprinkled with glitter too. "...I have been working on growing wings. I started growing them a few years back. I think they are growing quite nicely now, getting full and large with soft feathers on them. I am getting quite attached to my wings. ... finding just the right wings ...  I love these wings. Heck, you can barely see the scars now. They feel like they've been there all along... click here for the post"

Many of you already know I have been in Tonya Davidson's "Artful Success" program. I attribute growth and a larger wing span since reaping the benefits of that program. This is a testimony, as well as personal reference, to the advancements I've made over the last couple of months; and I'm not done yet!

I have really been working on the "Artful Success" modules in Tonya's program. While I have been really busy, and have many projects on my plate since joining, I can feel them all coming together in a cohesive manner finally. Through the teaching in this program, things are starting to fill my life with many wonderful attractions through "mindful intention".

Exciting and fun news was recieved today when Barbe SaintJohn, an Ice Resin Design Team member, posted a link on my Facebook page showing pieces of my "Serendipity" jewelry (photo above) was featured on Susan Lenart Kazmer's Ice Resin Flickr Friday. Yayyy!

Some of you are following my studio remodel also. This has been much slower than I anticipated; however, I'm very excited about completing it and having a fresh new, larger studio since my move last year. The wall color I chose, Dusty Olive, turned out as lovely as I'd hoped. Can't wait to finish up and move my tools and benches in there and get to work on new pieces - a new series I'm working on.

I've had a terrific and fun summer that doesn't seem to be winding down quite yet and I am grateful for so so many people and events and abundance in my life. Due to these things and many other passions in my life, I do my best to pay it forward and also to inspire others to live an abundant, happy life. We deserve happiness, YOU deserve happiness, passion, love and inspiration in your life.

This is why I named my blog "Dare To Dream". We all benefit from Daring to Dream. What is your Dream; do you Dare to Dream it?

Much Love,
Juanita
