New Phase
Landing in Bali 2 wks ago from my amazing NZ adventure, I have 100% dove into yoga at Yoga Barn including lots of sidelines like: sound healing, kundalini, sharing circles and dance. All the vinyasa/ashtanga/Iyengar has loosened up my semi-tight bod from the bus travel with backpack and not having real space to stretch for 3 months. Limber is my middle name again and it feels great!
I have some vision of getting back into my botanical illustration skills and will get to do that with my next works with the cherry blossom I plan on doing back in my own proper studio space in my Texas home, however, I may join a diploma program I have had my eye on, and been accepted to, since 2011; the SBA online program (Society of Botanical Artists). It is a UK program with a 2 year timeline ending in showing at Westminster and being able to have a certain "panache" to my name when entering expos/competitions and gallery shows. It's pricey and I don't know for sure but it may be on the cards. If I do it, I would like to do this while living in Sommerset countryside of the UK, however, I could very well choose to do it in Hawaii! The Big Island is that place when people ask me "what is my favorite place so far I have lived or visited", it comes out on top for many reasons. I love my exotic lifestyle however the comfort and ease of shopping at Costco and having a car appeals to me along with the island style living...plus, I have my Hawaiian massage license already. I know the island well and feel akin to it.
Lots of decisions coming up for me in March...centered and calm is my way forward.
