			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reflecting on the past is good; a way to see how far I have come and what I have accomplished. Being honest about the journey….accepting the good and the bad and learning from the experiences. This time of year always makes me do some of that looking back…remembering and reminding myself of my blessings and being kind to myself for my failures and letting go of stuff that I don’t need for the journey that lies ahead.&#160; I am thankful for the new year; this chance to grow my art licensing business, learn new skills, accomplish goals, and grow personally.</p>
<p>So I look forward….leaving behind those things that might keep me from accomplishing goals or growing personally. 2010 is a new year of great possibilities and I will find something good in every day. I will look for all the opportunities, walk through the open doors, stay focused on what is important, let go of excess baggage and most of all I will LIVE!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am looking forward to great things in this new year…stretching out ahead is a clean calendar ready to be filled with all things creative. This journey to license my art and live a creative life is continuing and I look forward to what lies ahead.</p>
<p>There is much work to be done in my life this year…many dreams to continue pursuing and opportunities waiting to be explored. So I am pressing forward with a grateful heart in anticipation of good things to come. </p>
<p>I recently discovered this website <a href="http://craftforhealth.typepad.com/my_weblog/" target="_blank">Craft for Health</a> and today my art and my story are featured on their blog. This is a great site and I look forward to getting to know these two ladies and learning about their work. </p>
<p>Artist Tara Reed <a href="http://artlicensingblog.com/" target="_blank">http://artlicensingblog.com/</a> has a great post on choosing a verb for 2010 rather than making resolutions.&#160; A great idea…I think I will need more than one verb…create and prepare. Two action verbs that will lead me further on this licensing journey. There are lots of opportunities and I want to be ready for everyone that comes my way!</p>
<p>Live the creative life!</p>
