I can trace my current path to this moment from my journal in 2007.
"The truth that shines through like a prism in the noonday sun is that I am a woman with something to say and it is time to stop de-valuing my work, time to be who I know I am and not varnish it with socially acceptable white wash. I will bring my entire being to my craft. That is my calling."
Today that truth gets stronger and stronger inside me, and the path before me gets clearer.
