Beauty

Tonight I found some beauty.  In fact I was privileged to sit in a room full of beautiful women, all there hoping to find some grace.  It was wonderful.  I am cynical of meeting new people to say the least, and seriously debated staying home and 'holing up' as I prefer to do.  But I mustered the courage and went.  I am so glad I did.

I met a wonderful woman tonight.  Her name is Wendy Joy Hart.  I found her through Meetup.com.  Going into this I thought surely this woman is selling something, or pushing something.  The last meetup group I joined was more of a way of drumming up business for the woman who led it than a meetup group.  I promptly quit that group.  But this one was so different.  I left feeling better, lighter, and happier than I've felt in years.  I learned a whole lot of new things, and hopefully made some new friends.   Beautiful friends.

Driving home I was struck by the fact that I was in a room full of beauty and could easily, very easily, have missed it.  These are the moments, the light I need to retrain my eye to see.  My memory to hold.  I had pictured this being a scary thing.  Me and all my baggage.  My deep deep shame and shyness to boot.  But whenever I am in a group of women who are real and honest I find that we all have baggage, and shame.  If we can just be real for a moment we find that none of us wants to be left out or judged.  We are all looking for love and a little acceptance.  That is my motto as you know choose love.  On my way to the group I kept telling myself, it'll be ok, just choose love.  It was exactly where I was supposed to be tonight, and I almost robbed myself of the opportunity.

I'm an Artist Suzi says So!

Once upon a time there was a girl.  A very sad, weepy girl, who just couldn't seem to get motivated to do what she loved.  Years went by, the girl could not find anything to motivate herself, so she remained sad, and discouraged.  Then one day while on the internet she found a youtube video of a very special girl who was motivated, she was a dreamer, an artist, and used her life to inspire others.  The girl became very excited, and soon followed all her links to find her online academy.  She quickly joined the academy, subscribed to the artist dreamers youtubes, and little by little started to believe.  That dreamer is Suzi Blu.  Artist, dreamer, teacher, friend.  That online academy is Suzi Blu's Les Petite Academy (find the link at the bottom of this page on the right).  Suzi told the girl, you are an artist, Suzi says so!  And the girl finally came to believe it.  Thus began a new chapter of the girls life.  One in which she was happy, creating, and discovering many new things.  Following her bliss.  If you would like to know this kind of encouragement follow this link:

I believe we are all artists.  I have always believed this.   Do you believe this too?  You are an artist!  Suzi says so!  And I do too!
