I just think it's marvelous that you took that giant leap and 'went for it'. That will get you where you are wanting to go ..side roads and all. HOPE. What a beautiful and powerful word that is.tag:beckyschultea.com,2005-07-26:/entries/572295#comment_23948Comment by Heather2005-07-26T08:13:00-05:002005-07-26T08:13:00-05:00Oh, I know who she is.

How neat!tag:beckyschultea.com,2005-07-26:/entries/572295#comment_23949Comment by paula2005-07-26T10:05:00-05:002005-07-26T10:05:00-05:00One can see you're definitely influenced by ME's work, yet you're style is you. : ) Thanks for sharing the background story of your occupational ventures. It reads very optimistically though things panned out differently than planned. I'm looking forward to hearing more!BTW, I love ME's designers featured in her magazine. Their decor style is quirky & whimsical. looks like "cheap chic" with an artistic twist.tag:beckyschultea.com,2005-07-26:/entries/572295#comment_23950Comment by bee'nme2005-07-26T10:30:00-05:002005-07-26T10:30:00-05:00Thanks for the comments. Both my real estate and my training careers, along with the grace of God, worked to bring me out of an incredible almost crippling shyness that I had for years and years. That's just one of the things I'm grateful for from my non-art pursuits.I absolutely have been influenced by ME in my art...I'm striving to find my own voice, but will probably always be tinged with her sense of color and whimsy - at least I hope so :o)tag:beckyschultea.com,2005-07-26:/entries/572295#comment_23951Comment by Anonymous2005-07-26T10:33:00-05:002005-07-26T10:33:00-05:00I love the way you spill out your heart in this column. It is so refreshing and real. Yes, I see M/E in your style, but I also see YOU and your style and it is very different and pure. God will lead you to whatever He has for you to do and I know you will be listening.tag:beckyschultea.com,2005-07-27:/entries/572295#comment_23952Comment by tine2005-07-27T17:42:00-05:002005-07-27T17:42:00-05:00Becky,oh wow, what a prized possession indeed you got there.

Moreno2005-07-28T08:38:00-05:002005-07-28T08:38:00-05:00Becky,What an amazing book to have. I love it that you brought it to have it signed by her! More than anything, it's a sort of confirmation for you, to have her book, to have met her, and to grab hold of that encouragement as a signpost to move on towards your goals in art. Reading your post was a joy. Keep up your wonderful work! You're acheiving great things.tag:beckyschultea.com,2005-07-29:/entries/572295#comment_23954Comment by Heather2005-07-29T09:25:00-05:002005-07-29T09:25:00-05:00TAG!http://madamerubies.com/blog/?p=32#commentstag:beckyschultea.com,2005-07-29:/entries/572295#comment_23955Comment by Morning Glory2005-07-29T13:52:00-05:002005-07-29T13:52:00-05:00Oh my goodness . . .
