Reclaim Yourself

I have a secret wish -but I'm going to share it with you even though it scares me just to type it out to the universe.

My plan:

To make about 20 of these girl portraits to encourage women to be strong in their lives and to value themselves.

Then, I want to have a little show at a darling little gift shop here that does that sometimes for new artist.

If I sell them, I will add it to a long-time dream to TRAVEL to Italy in October of 2011 and take my mom and daughter or at least help them go.

If I don't, I will pay for a booth at our art gallery in hopes of selling them.

If they don't sell there, I will give them away for a silent auction for our food pantry in our little community, of which I'm on the Board.

I will make prints and maybe calenders for friends and family.

I cannot fail with this plan. I cannot fail with this plan....

I keep telling myself I must value my art enough to promote it and sell it.

Now that you share my secret wish maybe somehow it will make it grow.

What is your secret wish?
