This is really, really cool.

Perhaps the reason this is so special to me is that it took me a really long time to come to terms with the fact that I am an artist.  I didn't need to wait for validation from some industry, company, group, individual (or otherwise) to "grant" me the title of artist; I just needed to claim it - make it mine.

Well, that and my cat.  I need my cat's approval.

But I digress...  The fact that other people might be inspired (however big or small) as a result of my endeavors kind of makes this whole thing worth while.  Yes, the whole thing.  w00t!

It also makes a circle (explained in this diagram.)

So, I'm going through my files and emails and discovering some really cool stuff sent to me during the course of the lifecast - and Imma start sharing it with you.

Enjoy!

Meanwhile, if you've seen anything you think I might be overlooking, please point me in that direction by sending me an email, or posting it to the Ning group.

This is too much fun!  More to come.

:D

congrats jody
that realization usually takes a long time for some people. it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, you are the one that knows you are an artist.....in whatever art genre you may work in.
good luck

You're more than artistic inspiration. You've inspired in ways that you'll never even know. You put your voice and heart out there and it drifts into peoples' lives and weaves itself into their own personal soundtracks. You've helped capture and define moments in others' lives just by sharing your own. You mentioned that you're more than your body, you're your contribution. By sharing even that, you've taken a thread from Earl's life, woven it into your own, and passed it along for others to do the same. You're contribution and inspiration to my life has been substantial and pretty amazing. ~F

Hiyas...

You are an artist.. More importantly a warm great person. While validation is always great it doesn't make you that. With or without it you just are all the above and so much more. Keep being you, that's a great gift to the world.
