Bunnies and a video




well after being totally inspired by Kelly Rae's flight lessons....i finally dusted off the journal. i wrote some fears. i wrote some goals. one is huge and i don't know if it will ever happen and i'm not quite ready to share the big one yet....BUT....

i did start writing my story.....you see my goal has been to start writing and illustrating a children's book. i think the hardest part is just saying "i'm starting this!!!" its about a bunny that aspires to more than his life in an abandoned, run-down chicken coop and the many adventures that come after his owner leaves the door open to his tiny, cramped cage.

i've also been spending time doing these videos and adding music by larkin poe. it just makes me smile when i put the 2 together....my paint, their music.

    I loved watching this video. I felt like I was so close to you for that five minutes. Larkin Poe is awesome. So completely awesome. Gotta listen to some more of that.

    You would create the most awesome children's book. You go girl.

    so nice to "meet" you, mindy.
    clearly, such dear life,
    is never meant to be
    crammed in
    shut out
    limited
    confined
    beautyjailed
    stopped...
    i celebrate
    with you
    as the sun
    pours in
    & doors open
    & the word
    YES
    is spoken
    over & over.
    i love your art
    & already love
    your clearly
    inspired
    book.
    xox
