leaping

Self portrait with self portrait, today.

I love the photo above ~ just because without knowing it,
I included in the background
a painting I am working on.

And I sorta look like it, funnily enough. ;)

It has been a good day.
Filled with libraries and books and a new colour printer,
talking with my family on the phone,
surprise emails from new friends
and my first ever REVIEW!
I'm so intoxicated by the whole experience ~
of people knowing me before I know them,
and having people love what I am doing.
Often it comes at times when I am second~guessing myself,
unable to write another page incase it's "crap"
... so these little messages from readers are gifts from the universe.
I greet the gifts with kisses, and tears, and a soft embrace.

We must do those things that make us fearful, musn't we?
I fear that my first book won't be outstanding...
but, if I don't write it, how will I ever know?

Funny isn't it?

I want to fly, so I must take the leap.

*leap*
