First I just have to say Happy Birthday to my special friend Bex. I hope you are having a lovely day babe and that all your dreams and wishes come true.

As you can see I didn't get to start my blog when I thought as I ended driving up to Taupo for the night. I have attached a photo of the sunrise that Ralph and I got to see. It was a great trip and I got to stay in a room with my own private spa, just what the doctor ordered. I could have stayed a few nights more and gone to visit my friends in Rotorua but home was calling and I’m glad I got home when I did as the mountain erupted and they road was closed for a short time.
I called in to see Richard in Mangaweka on my way home and got to spend sometime talking about how his campaign for local council was going check out his website www.freewebs.com/richardaslett
I got to listen to his speech which he was preparing for that night, it excited me and I am considering in years to come that I should look further into this sort of occupation! I love helping and want only the best for our community.

Last night was the AGM for the Wanganui Art Society and it was a great meeting we got through lots and it was nice to catch up with everyone and go back on the committee. There are lots of changes this year and I’m sure it’s going to be fun! http://www.wanganuiartsociety.co.nz/

I had another crack at getting the gallery cleared away yesterday. It didn’t seen to make a dent but I will get there I’m very grateful to Stefano for all his help in moving everything upstairs with me which has been a mission! Without his help I don’t know what I would have done. www.myspace.com/stefanotevaga

An exciting thing happened last night as I was eating my dinner up at the window! The full moon rose up over the hill and gave my visual delights a run for their money! It was amazing and I have attached a photo it’s not as good as what it looked like, sometimes you really can’t capture what your eyes see.

I just had a phone call from one of my friends and heard some great news. This day is turning out to be another fantastic day in paradise.

My friend Rere has given me tickets to a weekend event 'Breakthrough to Success with Christopher Howard' in Auckland next April 2008 and I'm looking forward to heading up there, getting a good group of people to go and check out his handy tips to success. Rere went a few weeks ago in Brisbane and said it was an amazing experience, she said 'I don't normally get into these things but the weekend has changed my life. The energy created in the room was impressive and I am looking forward to going again.' http://www.universalevents.com.au/

My message for today was: Surround yourself with reminders such as angel statues and poster so that you not forget to call upon us, your heavenly friends, for help and assistance.

Bring it on!

I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One

I had to share this article with you today, if I wrote something like this it would sound just the same... I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One by Christopher Fife. "Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly. Since I dedicated forty-plus hours a week to my corporate graphic design job, I was lucky if I painted a couple of hours a week. I came to despise myself for this self-deceit, for my inability to embrace what I really wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist. So I committed myself to becoming one. I started out like most people ...
