What to report? 

I'm now moving into the second month of fundraising/preparing for Italy. I have high hopes in creating these funds for this experience, even with how daunting my goal is. I wouldn't want to only describe my choice for this trip as impulsive. The decision to move this dream into the next gear was an act of feeding. Feeding this gnawing ache for travel. A decent component to this choice is probably my avoidance in going back to school. I'd like to predict that I'll gain a better sense of purpose or clarity after going through this experience. I want to hold an open space to recenter me into further pursuing my same major or same school. 

Whenever visualizing this trip, I pull from a drawer of several excuses of validation. Above all, I know I want it. It doesn't feel real just yet, but part of me knows and trusts it will "be". I just might fail miserably and completely run out of money. I might fail miserably and run out of money and revel and expand in my growth. 

I'm creating the test I need in life right now. Each day moves me closer, and it's up to me to choose into utilizing each day in preparation. 

I want to use this blog as a supportive platform to report my process in preparation. We'll see if I choose into being accountable and committed! 

SHAE & ITALY

Hello all! This coming Fall I'm taking the plunge and traveling to Italy by myself for an artist workshop. I"ll be studying under the masterful Nicolas Uribe, a tremendous contemporary painter currently working in the fine art scene. To do this, I'll need all the funding I can manage. I'm opening my books to schedule any commission work to be completed for the 2018 Holiday season in order to raise funds. I'm also discounting my prices for these commissions! I'm so excited to further my art training through such an amazing avenue, and I'll take any help I can get to get there. I appreciate you all!

Love,
