Today - just this moment, my heart is singing with joy. I have taken my own advice and 'been brave' and in a series of steps this has led me to entering the print department of our local Art college with a portfolio of my work this afternoon. All the little voices inside me were urging me to turn and run and opening my folder in front of the tutors was excruciating. Displaying what I have made is like displaying my soul and the fear of what I might see in their faces nearly stopped me trying. Instead their encouragement and enthusiasm has helped me believe I am on the right path and I can't wait to see where it leads me next. I have drawn the above little reminder for the next time I forget or feel doubt - now all I have to do is work out how to make it into a papercut.......
