It’s been a few days since I haven’t been able to blog and I have to admit that I did miss it! Unfortunately my day job took me away from the online world for a few days to Orlando and than I was invited to spend a couple of days with some wonderful friends in Key Largo, FL. On the other hand, these days were great because I was able to catch up with some reading – finish almost 2 books! Most importantly I spent some girly time with friends I haven’t been able to see in long time. Been away has always been an opportunity to rethink as to where my life is heading. In the last two sessions in “The Fish Bowl” we talked about blogging and what makes us love reading them. I realized that some of the things I loved about reading other blogs were missing in my blog and I will begin to make changes to improve it. I wanted to share with you some of the things I love in a blog:

1. Meeting other artists, seen so much creativity it’s so inspiring!
2. The “human side” of the blogger– I love when an artist shares, her/his life, stories, their journeys…
3. Artists that share their life experiences in the “artist world” – this essentially has been inspiring and yet learning experience when an artist shares “tips” about how they market themselves, what worked for them… etc.
4. Blogs who share other blogs that they found interesting and/or interviews with other artists.
5. and last, but not least, I love the chance to make online friends and realize that there are so many people like me, who love creating, who have dreams; we are in this great community were we can all inspire and support each other.

I am sure as I continue to read and find new artists who blog, my list will increase. In the meantime I will do my best to share more with you: my journey and what I have learned. Thanks so much for all your comments; they are encouraging, specially in those days were my goal seems sooooo far away.

Happy Monday!

This morning I was so thrilled when I checked my blog and receive such uplifting comments from my new e-friends Pixie, Dyan, Spadazzle and Lani Gerity. Thank you sooo much! :)
Last Thursday we begin an online course with Marisa called "The fish Bowl" this is a place where we artists are supporting one another in reaching our goals in the creative world. I am so thankful to be part of this online community where it has open doors and inspired me to not give up on my dream. Go goldfishes!

This is a special card made for my dad and Jim. I want to wish both a wonderful father's day! Thank you for always been there for me. Love, Sarah

Cuando sea pequeña....

Desde hace mucho tiempo vengo pensando que haría si volviése a ser pequeña con lo que he aprendido hasta ahora. Quizás las cosas no hubiesen sido muy diferentes pero sí apreciaría más el momento y todas esas cosas pequeñas que exisen a mi alrededor. Mi hermana que ha sido "mi instigadora de sueños" siempre me animó a aprender y a leer. Siempre ha plantado semillas para que explore y crezca. Este, es dedicado a ella, por su amor a la lectura que siempre ha transmitido a todo el que le rodea. Tqm, Sary

I have always wondered what life would have been like if I could be a little girl all over again -but with the knowledge I have today. Perhaps, life wouldn't have been any more different but I think I would have lived more the moment and appreciated all the small things around me.

These days, creativity has been pouring like the rain we have had in Miami. I am enjoying it...and just like Frida Kahlo "Viva la Vida" it makes me feel alive.
