A new chapter

Tue Sep 1, 2009, 11:26 AM
09/01/2009

Hello everyone! I'm alive! ^_~

Sorry I haven't posted lately. My life has started a new chapter recently that hasn't left me with much free time. My son started 3rd grade. My husband started college. I started a new job & am preparing to have my daughter start preschool for the first time.

I am slowly working on a few sketches but sleeping, eating, my family, and work have kept me super busy. I promise I'll post something new soon even if its just a WIP. Love to you all!

:bulletblack:

Reposting this from a previous journal entry because so many people said it inspired them.

I got told I have absolutely no artistic skill or talent yesterday. The kicker? I got told it twice, by people I care about. The first called my art a complete waste of time, effort, and only slightly better than when I was my daughters age. She is two. Nice. The second person said my work was average and probably as good as it would ever get because I have no natural talent, at all. Thanks.

Guess what? They can have their opinions and I can disagree. I'm going to keep practicing and prove them wrong. I am already getting better. I will continue to get better. Maybe it is just that I've never really been this serious about getting better? They aren't used to me actually trying this hard? What exactly are they using as comparison for their opinions in the first place?

I'm going to go sketch now, thanks.

Craftymama2, I believe in the blessing, not the curse from this message I got on my profile page. Take a look!

READ THIS WHOLE THING. IT'S SO DANG TRUE* 1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. If not for you, someone may not be living. 8. You are special and unique. 9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. 11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look you most likely turned your back on the world. 12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it. 13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. 14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know. 15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Add this as a comment to ten of your friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 225 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. Whoever breaks this chain letter will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years tag ur it!! this is so scary!!! send this to 15 ppl in the next 143 min. and then press F6 and your crushes name will appear in big letters!! it is so scary because it works.... but if you break the chain.. you will be SRRY
