Pottery

So, one of the things I decided to do this winter to stay sane is to take up pottery again. I haven't made anything in almost 20 years, but had my first class this last Tuesday. I don't think I did TOO bad! Actually, my first bowl turned out the best... then it got worse from there! Here is a picture of me holding my prized first creation. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished. You know, I do a lot of photography, but photography is more of a "capture" than a "create." I really feel the need to "create," even if it's just creating my life.

Growth

This has been a year of growth and transformation with moments of pure bliss, the darkest sadness, loneliness, happiness, everything. I would have to say one of the best years of my life up to this point. I've been going through some soul-searching the last week or so, grieving a loss and moving through the pain. I know there was something I had to learn. Learning to let go is always the hardest, but I'm finally able to set it free and cherish the memories and lessons I've learned. Again, life is beautiful.

This is me. I live in Salt Lake City and am having so much fun here! Life is an adventure if I make it one and that’s what I’ve decided to do. I’ve met so many interesting people this year (I call them Characters), and been on so many wonderful journeys. I spend a lot of time alone, but not for long, because new Characters always cross my path and share their stories and sometimes their travels with me.

This last year has been a year of wonder and discovery and I can honestly say I am truly happy and very grateful for everything that’s manifested itself in my life!
