year of the rabbit

video

i was born year of the rabbit so i'm counting this as my year.  i plan to put myself and my art out there more than i have.  i had this weird moment in yoga class this past january where the instructor was yada yada yada and then whispered in a strange voice "do not squander your life".  it really kinda hit home with me and i've been thinking about it often.  creatively i've been making art for close to 15 years now.  has it taken me so long to get my skills up to where i feel good about showing my work or have i just been scared?  well i feel all my stars are lining up and i'm taking the year of the rabbit as my cue to put it out there more.

my kids really do bring out the best in me, if i keep teaching them and coaching them to take responsible risks i really gotta walk the walk.
