thanks giving
thank you to those who have endured with me on this journey that takes many twists and turns…turns through my questions, my struggles, my changing my mind, my weaknesses, my tears, my hopes, my ever-present longing for what i only know to call God and still don’t understand but strangely feel closer to than ever before…thank you for sticking with me through my failures at being a guardian of this space here where i freely make myself vulnerable, and open myself wide to take a peek inside…sometimes a tentative peek, sometimes a direct and difficult gaze…my failures have been a reflection of my own weakness in standing up for myself, never believing before i was worth standing up for…thank you for continuing to comment and offer your own experiences and questions and thoughts and feelings and being so generous and patient to return again and again…you may never know how much offering of yourselves is helping me change and develop…
there have been some very difficult potholes and land mines for me to step over these last several years, all of which is teaching me a lot…i have discovered untapped parts of myself i never knew before…and i am finding healing and joy through artistic expression…still learning to let go of my own criticism and evaluation of the results…understanding the process itself is what is so valuable for me…
i am thankful for this place where i can share, and thankful for you who share and support and gently offer your suggestions and observations and wisdom with me.

When all is said and done, it’s only the sharing that matters.

It is the sharing that matters. It is the sharing that is comforting, healing, to know that others understand and accept and welcome…to share is to give.
You really don’t have as many failures as you think 
But thank you as well, for openning yourself to others and still braving the tides.
happy thanksgiving for you as well
