New Beginnings

I had been longing to paint and teach and paint a little more. I got just what the doctor ordered and everything seems to be unfolding preciously. I got reacquainted with old friends who are inspiring brilliant and warm hearted if nothing else. If all goes well I will be teaching once a week and enjoying every second of it with gratitude. Matli is the organization these awesome girls have founded. The little I know is that they helped with getting a space for us when we were eager to teach a screen printing program. Unfortunately, I backed out in the end of that one because I had to choose between paying my bills or just enjoy what I love doing for the time being and stay without a job weeks later. Now is my chance and it is perfect timing. The organization provides intense and quality dance programs to the community with out necessarily getting paid most of the time. I love it that is raw dedication. I am at that point in my life where I know I can venture away from such decisions and made myself the promise to get involved with projects that bring positivity to my life.None the less this is a process and it will be challenging. There is absolutely nothing wrong with challenge and I will embrace it. Nothing is easily mastered if it is easily dissected. Along with some of these great blessings that have come my way I have recently met a new artist whose work is great. She is the lead artist of a mural my husband and I have had the opportunity to lay hands on. It is a great collaboration of artist and the mural is a mixed media mural unlike any other in this city. Anyway I'm going off on a tangent of scatter brain thoughts. I will leave this one and slap it with the city skyline minus the usual center focus of the Sears or what is soon to be the Willis Tower. Taken on our first time out to the Zoo. Enjoy!
