Dream BIG!!


"Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men." I love this inspirational quote by Goethe, don't you? Makes me want to dream BIG! I just had to use this in my latest funky art painting. I'm entering the original in the next art show at the Indianapolis Art Center, so I hope it's juried in. I had prints of it made today in the original size of 11" x 15", which fits into a standard size 16" x 20" frame with a mat. I also had 5" x 7" and art card size printed, as well. I just listed the large size on Etsy tonight and will list the other sizes tomorrow.

Talk about dreaming big, I made this big long list of goals for the new year! There's so many things I want to achieve in my life and I feel like time keeps slipping away, faster and faster each year. I look back over the previous year and think, 'wow, where did the time go?'. And even though I usually feel frustrated and disappointed I didn't accomplish more during the year, I'm always happy to see a new year role around. It's a time for renewal and commitment. I feel like I can wipe the slate clean (well, almost!) and start fresh once again. Each new year brings high hopes and expectations to be more organized and successful. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, but I figure if I keep putting the same things on my list year after year, eventually I may have a breakthrough and actually be able to cross some things off the list!

Although I'm a tad behind schedule here, I'm wishing all of you a happy and prosperous new year. May all your dreams come true... and remember to DREAM BIG!!
