Right Now She's Selling Oranges by the Freeway...

What did you do as a child that made the hours pass like minutes? Herein lies the key to your earthly pursuit.

'If you wake up every morning and all you can think about is singing then you are meant to be a singer, girl!"- Whoopi Goldberg

I have been thinking about these two quotes for a couple of days now. Yes, I know I shouldn't seriously quote Whoopi Goldberg (especially in Sister Act II) but it makes perfect sense to me. The precise question is: What is it that truly makes you happy? A year ago I couldn't answer that question very easily. Now I can answer without a moment's hesitation. Painting and Creating. If I could live on fufillment then all I would need to survive would be paint, a couple of brushes and some blank canvases or stools- whatever you have lying around. Creating stuff is something that I have always done as a hobby. But it is so much more than that. Its my way of being. If I don't have new ideas floating in my head then I'm not satisfied. And if I'm not satisfied then... Well, lets not go the whole "If I give a mouse a cookie" route- all I know is I have been seriously happy lately. This happiness is all due to some tremendous ideas that I have been mulling over. I have now figured out my ultimate goal- are you ready for this one?

I want to open up a boutique with my furniture and my art and various items that I find appealing. I know that this is not a new idea of mine. I have always wanted to- but I never felt that I could actually do it. Well, I am for sure going to now. I have made up my mind! I'm not sure how long it will take- but I am going to do it and it will work. Because if you wake up every morning with the same dream in your head then you are meant to carry out that dream. I firmly believe that. Now if only I can firmly belive that I am going to win the lotto.....
