Life is forever about the journey, not the results. The journey serves as a way to make new discoveries and understanding about oneself; to grow in perspective; strengthen resolution, and evolve in spirit. The journey is why we continue through life, why we make plans to do it all over again. Even so, we cannot knock the powerful impact that comes from reaching the end and holding that trophy in your hands congratulating yourself on a job well done.
Today, I finally hold a piece of that trophy, one that serves as a ticket into my next much anticipated line of upcoming adventures. It took lots of sacrifices, four hour round trip bus rides, long walks with heavy packs and frozen toes, assistance from new friends and neighbors, an immense amount of support, financial strain and strategy, incredibly long nights and insightful longer days. It took getting to believe in myself and my abilities; of taking a leap of faith and following my heart; and of never giving up.
After everything, I am pleased to announce that I am finally, and officially, a licensed visual art educator for the state of Michigan!
