Today is a special day because exactly one year ago today I jumped off of a proverbial cliff and didn't look back. January 10, 2015 was the first day of the rest of my life. I didn't get married, I didn't have a baby or start a new job. In fact I left my job and a steady paycheck to pursue a career in art full time.
A lot of people might say it was a crazy move or they might give me the whole "Starving Artist" speech. The truth is, jumping is scary when you don't actually know what's going to happen. You could hit rock bottom, fall flat on your face and sustain some pretty serious injuries, you could perish; or you could develop your wings on your way down.
I walk in faith, bathe in it, wear it on my skin, feet, hands, crown. I eat, drink & sleep faith. It is my favorite brand of everything! I don't know where my jump will take me or how big my wings will grow I just know that it will be something special, it already has been. I say all of this to say, Happy artiversary to me, to us!
To any person who has supported my leap and is watching me develop my wings, from my whole heart & soul I thank you because it isn't a painless process. I realize that everyone has a different journey, I am only speaking of my own. But I encourage you to challenge yourself to do everything your heart desires because you have the opportunity to do it now, you just have to actually believe that you can.
Love & Light,
Alicia
