Artist at Large Smiling Out Loud

Spent the couple days doing art work. I’m pleased with the progress. A few pieces are finished and signed and I’m really feeling it with several others. In only 7 days I’ll be hanging art and signing books at Friends Bar. September 22, 2013 is my big day. 

Last December I felt lead to expand my career. Publishing “All She Wrote” has been a long term goal for me. Ten years in the making and yet it feels like perfect timing. A good friend recently told me I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. We had a long conversation about it and I like his perspective on it. Life has taken a lovely upswing and I’m excited to share all that’s happening. 

Ten months later my book is available for sale and my biggest art show yet, is a week away. I’m smiling out loud. Here are some pieces I’m working on for Friends Helping Friends. These and many more will be available for purchase.

I’m sincerely looking forward to seeing new and old friends next Sunday at Friends Bar. We will also be raising funds for Hope Academy, an adolescent girls program geared to provide a holistic approach to relationship education and life skills training that will develop participants into leaders. The local non-profit organization is making a positive impact in Oklahoma City. I’m very excited to see this program grow and will be helping with the mentorship program Pretty Popular Powerful.

This is where my heart is and when I was asked to participate it felt like a natural progression. I will be traveling and speaking to women and girls to help inspire and empower the leaders of our future. It’s very exciting and humbling that my fears and failures and hopes and successes can help transform other people into positive thinking, pro active citizens.

Let’s Do This
