We should always to pay heed to what is going on around us and how we are dealing with it. With loses and gains we are changed regardless from where they come from. Our personal lives are so much a part of us as artists. We hone and own this perspective within ourselves. It’s part and parcel of who we are. Our souls are deeply connected with who we are. We decided to be who we are before we were ever born.
What happens on the outside can sometimes have a larger effect on us than we ever think and being present we realize that we have the tools to get us through and these tools have been earned by us over each and every other event that has taken place in our lives. In other words, we are ready to handle what is right now and what comes next. Trusting oneself is the ultimate answer.

    In the last couple months I have had a loss on both sides of my family. One by a car accident and the other by cancer. To say this has changed me would be an understatement. Thinking about these losses seems so overwhelming at times but I know I have the tools to pick myself up, dust myself off and keep on going.
    Both of these family members were warm and gentle and full of life. They loved life and if only by example I know they want their friends and relatives to continue on in happiness. This is their gift to the rest of us. They both loved life and had a sparkle in their eyes that was undeniable.
