As I have mentioned in earlier posts, I have been blessed to be included within an exceptional group of very, very talented fellow artists that was formed last summer as a result of us all being enrolled in an online course offered by the extremely talented, Kelly Rae Roberts called “Summer 2011 Flying Lessons”.
I must admit I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when I signed up for this course. I only knew that I had a lot to learn if I was ever going to make this dream a reality. The course began early Summer 2011 and since then nothing has felt the same.
As the new year begins, my wonderful group of very talented fellow artists, which we call the Fly Girls, decided that it only seemed natural as we venture through this journey as artists and entrepeneurs that we each select a single word that will best represent our goals and intentions for the coming year 2012. This word will serve as a constant reminder of what we set out to accomplish next year.
With so many words to choose from it was a difficult decision for me to choose just one word, but I have chosen the word “perseverance”. For me as an artist developing my own business has been really challenging on so many different levels that I know this is something that I really need to constantly work on in order to reach the goals that I have set for myself. No excuses, not exhaustion, rejection or putting other tasks before my art work this year. I plan to keep working harder and longer and doing whatever it takes.
Just click on the image below to visit my fellow “Fly Girls” blogs they have each written about their Word for 2012, I know you will be left feeling extremely motivated and inspired by these amazing gals! Plus you might just great some great ideas for your own goals in this coming year!
So many wonderful words to choose from. Perseverance. That’s great.
Yes it is true that nothing has felt the same since taking KRR Flying Lessons!
I wish you the best in all of your artistic endeavors this 2012!
Hey Kathy May! I really love your “no excuses” attitude
I know it will get you far in your creative business. I look forward to seeing you preserver throughout 2012!!
or persevere rather! (dang that auto correct!)
Wow. You go! I love this: No excuses, not exhaustion, rejection or putting other tasks before my art work this year. 2012 is going to be a great year for you. Glad to be flying with you and the tribe.
Such a powerful and very important word! Excellent choice! Good luck and happy blessings to you this year.
Your blog header is stunning!
Oh, I’m going to need this word this year myself. Will you share? Great choice.
Perseverance is one of my favorite words!
Perseverance is a word we could all use on our artistic journeys. Wishing all good things for you as you persevere in 2012! Glad to be flying with you!
So glad you are going to Persevere, because your art work is wonderful, and you will go places if you do follow your word!!
a very important word for all our journeys, i hope it serves you well in 2012 x
It’s the only way to go!
I think that is a wonderful word and DO IT! No one is as committed to your creative journey as YOU are and your committment to perservere is an excellent word for the year. Happy new year!
That is really a fantastic word! You will perservere and 2012 will be full of great, great things!
I love your word choice! You will definitely persevere
I love the way you summed up your word by saying there will be no excuses, exhaustion, rejection or other tasks to get in your way.
Perseverance is a great word for 2012! I once attended a lecture by a well known quilt artist and she said she got where she was by following the 3 P’s… patience, persistence, and perseverance.
I love what you had to say about perseverance. It does take extra effort to accomplish the extraordinary – so excited for all that you are going to achieve in 2012 as you do what it takes!
One of my favorite quotes says, “Excuses and results cannot exist in the same place.” Your post reminded me of it. I hope you have a great year!
I know you can do it, Kathy! You already are the hardest working lady I know. Hold on! March on! Rock on!
