So a lot has happened this weekend thus far.
Friday was the first #FridayNightMarkets in Arcata, a shift from Eureka to a town 15-minutes north with a large returning college population.
It was awesome.
The first #BlockPartyOnFStreet happened, sponsored by the Redwood Art Association.
Which was awesome.
I won an Honorable Mention in the current Redwood Art Association show for my limited edition signed and numbered framed piece, "Sandpiper Spotlight".
Which was awesome.
I sold the same piece.
I. Am. Floored.
I’ve never sold a piece of my art in a gallery. This is the *third* time I’ve been granted recognition by a guest judge at a show at the member-run Redwood Art Association.
I can’t tell you how much that boosts my confidence and makes me feel like I’m on the correct life path.
I’m… in a spot now where I’m feeling very very much like i’m being guided by the universe toward the right spot. I dunno whether it’s simply my ego or something else, but I’m feeling valued.
I’m strong enough internally to say I desperately needed that.
And I’m also strong enough to know that it’s illusory, and outside validation means nothing if I’m not paying it forward.
So I’m going to pay it forward. Come heck or high water. I’m not so naive to think that this isn’t the universe telling me I have a responsibility to make sure I’m giving back.
Good fortune swings both ways. I’d be stupid if I didn’t “pay it forward.”
So.
’nuff said.
