I'M HERE TO EMPOWER YOU!

I’m an artist . . . but that’s not saying much, because I believe, and it is something that I have devoted my time heavily to convey, that art expression is an inherent property of human nature. The media may vary, but not the innate disposition.

Those that know me have heard my “talent-as-myth” diatribe all too often, and if you end up tuning in to my posts, you will encounter it soon enough. It is my goal to change the notion, which a great number of people resign to, that one needs to have “talent” to pursue the art they feel or want and am doing this on a daily basis through my program in the G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers.

With that as preface, I will probably devote a portion of my posts to inspiring artists, but I also plan to impart other conceptions that I have about life in general, with the goal of elevating, encouraging, enlivening or energizing those who read them.

Let me begin with this:

I wish for you the ability to create for yourself all that your heart desires.

Do you have a dream? What or who would you like to be in the next year, the next ten years? What do you need to extricate from your life to become that?
Are you willing to sacrifice who you are right this very minute?

The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice that which we are for what we could become. ~Charles DuBois

    I've already made that sacrifice. And it's turning out to be glorious. 

    One good thing (of many) about getting old: If you don't want to petrify, you get used to jumping off cliffs without a parachute.

    Living it! ...the sacrificing who I believe myself to be part, that is. ;) Right in line with my 2015 mantra of "Always do what you are afraid to do." 

    I love how you have the ability to express these truisms so succintly, Robin Griggs Wood You're like that light in your photo.... :D

    My life, heart, and soul, is in unsurmountable pain. I am 36hrs. from my last use as I sit in emotions almost too hard to bear. I opened your page and I have been lost in spirit since. Thank you so much for capturing such awestruck beauty. My heavenly Father created that and thru your eye, spoke to me and calmed me. It's been a long time.... Thank you
