don't give up

Little by little, one travels far.

I guess I feel like Im not getting anywhere lately so I have to remind myself that the small steps I take everyday are equally as important to giant leaps that may be accomplished.

i signed up for school again. This time I am going to try the Art Institute and I am KNOW (by the power of intention), that this is going to be a success! I am studying advertising and I feel that this program harnesses much more of my skill set and I will leave the Institute with a broad range of experiences and abilities that will allow me to fulfill my dream of running my own firm one day! Art director Liz, here I come!

I started school and one month in, the family that I nanny for informed me that they were expecting another child. Five kids to take care of 10 hours a day!!!! Then 4-5 hours of school a night…..it was just too much. My body gave out and I went into the hospital with severe exhaustion and adrenal failure. Not good. Needless to say, I quit school and have been trying to work through the first few months of life with a new born. We are at the five month point and I jsut NEED to be back in school. I NEED to be creative. I NEED a challenge. So, today I am reapplying for a better school, a more challenging school, one that I will be proud to graduate from. So, here’s not not giving up but to taking little side tracks….

“The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn’t matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.”
Barbara Hall, Northern Exposure, Rosebud, 1993

I have wanted to run and hide and quit.. but I have stayed and I have grown…

I want to be like Sean Connery in The First Knight when his kingdom is being destroyed…. stand up with my sword and cry “never surrender, never surrender!” IDK….
