It is February 14th, 2014. Already I know that this year will be the year of many journeys. The Chinese year of the horse, my soul is restless and overwhelmed with an insatiable wanderlust. I think it is mostly fueled by my desire to runaway from the mess in my studio. I know I need to overcome this but I will find joy in the quest around the world and through the universe.
I want to explore and learn. I want to meet other creative types. I want to grow.
I will be going to Bali for Spring Break this year. I love my job! I get to work all week with little folk. Young minds with boundless imaginations. I get holidays and snow days off. I can enjoy my weekends. I have my time to relax and prepare. There is so much I want to give and pass on to my little ones. I teach art at 3 elementary schools throughout the week. My classes range from Pre-K to 5th grade. I am still new, this is currently my second year of teaching. I know I would like to go back to school. Art and history are my passion. I love science and nature. Evolution and communication have been blowing my mind. Perhaps the greatest influence is the Story - myths and tales told around the world in all eras tell the same story. Different characters but it is undeniably the same story with different details.
This summer, my friend Christina and I are planning an epic that will take us out West and around our country. We will befriend and reunite with kindred spirits. I am looking forward to all the adventures that will ensue. This will become my travelogue.
