Following Your Dreams...


There's no instruction guide that tells you how to pursue your dreams. You just need to figure out how to navigate yourself through this maze of what life is all about to get to the ultimate goal. I am finally moving forward and making small strives. I decided to be more of a Do'er. The first hurdle I crossed was putting up two of my zines up on a wall at the "Last Bookstore" in Downtown Los Angeles. I truly luv that bookstore and I highly recommend everyone to go visit it and buy books and records from there. I was soo happy to have found the book "One Day"...I have been reading it every morning before going to work. Once I am done reading it I will watch the film.I have to be honest I was nervous about putting up my zines in the wall. I took a picture of the wall with my taped zines. I went back a couple of days later during art walk and I noticed that someone out there took the zines... It made me feel very happy and hopefully whoever took them had a smile in their face.



The other wonderful thing is that I got back into being crafty. Thanks to my friend Michelle because she started this wonderful idea of making each week a craft project. I was behind two projects when two great crafty ideas came to mind one was to make a collage painting and the other was to make a polaroid
magnet. I have to be honest but I truly had missed the process of creating crafts. The finished results of my projects made me feel accomplished and in a really good mood that anything is possible. I truly enjoy making artsy crafts and amazing myself. It is very true what the members of the "Failure Club" say that everyone is afraid to risk what they have, because "Failure" has such a negative stigma, but at the same time if we don't gamble on pursuing our dreams then we will never know whether it can succeed. I am so ready now to get on to the next level of my life and being crafty is on top of the list.
