show up

so have i mentioned this week how much i love my messages from the universe? on tuesday, with my nerves jangling as i was reviewing something i was about to send out, this arrived in my email...


dream it, mary jane.


show up.


boom.


getting up the courage to try things, to put yourself out there is not always easy... we all know this... but when you do, at least you give yourself a chance of getting what you want... if you don't show up, there is no opportunity... don't hold yourself back...  you may not always get what you had hoped for, but at least you will know you tried... there is no 'if only i had' to go to bed with... and it makes the next time a little less scary... april has been a huge test for me - and we shall see what happens...


i had the opportunity to take my first class last friday... it was near to my home and taught by the very talented ruth rae... what a wonderful woman - she shared everything about herself... i am so excited to use the technique i learned - fusing metal - but more than that i came away inspired... 


here is my simple little section of links - it is completely raw as i have not been able to come back to it yet... 

and here is chuck - the grass was cut and the sun was warm, so we took him outside (after making sure that the cats were inside)... 

'look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end.

its not a day when you lounge around doing nothing;

it's when you've had everything to do and you've done it.'

~ margaret thatcher

and a huge thank you to those who sent kind words and support to help me get over a hump... it is appreciated more than you will ever know...
