About

I created, mywings.blog , to give myself & others the strength to pursue & discover their dreams in life; To learn to let go of fear and be unafraid to explore the things, you have always wanted to do or be.

We all have those things, we wish we could do, but we stop ourselves from reaching, because it seems impossible.  We fear the judgement of others or are afraid of failing or looking stupid.

This blog serves as a personal archive for my own discoveries & journeys in life. It serves as a source of encouragment for those who want to pursue positive changes in their life.

I am not, an artist and pretty much failed English; but I love, painting, creating & writing. It sparks my heart, sets my spirit free & allows my soul to fly in the most extraordinary way. For years I didn’t, because I thought I couldn’t.   I did not want to be laughed at. It was all just a silly fantasy, that was a frivolous waste of time.

One year at Christmas, I had no money to give my family anything. So I came up with a hair brained idea;  I was going to draw a portrait of my son, from a picture. I thought I could make it into a card.   It turned out really good.  I was truly shocked.

I was even more surprised, by the way it made me feel. It was like I had tapped into the spiritual side of my soul.  Aside from being a mother,  I had never felt such peace and contentment, from something I was doing.

To explore this new feeling, I began to play with chalk, pastels & then the brush.  I could not afford the time or the money to go places to paint.  So I decided Instead to paint the coradors of my mind.  I would not let lack of money or scenery, stop me. Instead I would use my imagination.  I would put my heart, onto paper.

I was sooo much fun, playing with no rules, learning as I went;  not because I thought I was some fabulous artist, but because it Made me feel whole.

I have always loved the ocean & water.  Unfortunately I could never afford to go.  So I decided to visualize the perfect a moment , in a perfect place & paint.

I never knew where I was going or what it was going to be.  I would start with the sky & paint until places & things appeared.  Suddenly I felt magically there. It was a free vacation for my soul.   I continued to explore and create many places in The next couple of years.

When my joy of painting, was not shared in my personal relationship, I decided to remove the negative & quietly put away my brushes & my heart,  for almost 15 years.  It was one of my biggest regrets, in life.

In 2017 a life changing snowstorm Brought our city to a halt, closing all schools & keeping me from work for almost 3 weeks.

Looking for stress release & answers to my life. I was pushed to do the thing, I tore myself away from.

I pulled out my brushes once again & I cried.   I can’t explain the power & new found strength,  I received that day. It sparked a catalyst of life changing events. I transformed my life into an incredible journey of self exploration.  I Prayed for answers to my financial fears.  I had No retirement, no money from work, and no idea, what I Could do to change it.  The next morning I woke up with a life changing plan to make my home pay for itself.  Then I dreamed, it would pay for my life & my retirement.  By the end of the day, I found my miracle.  I would turn my home into an Airbnb & as it grew, I would build more;  until I was fully self sustaining , able to retire & living my dream.  I would not cry or wither in the storm. I would embrace every minute, enjoy every moment & and I would find a way to build my dream.  I was going to live my life on my own terms.  I was taking control.  No more following the piper.  I was going to write my own story.  Be my own journey and make my own rules…

The strength, solice, & confidence I have found from this pursuit of the heart, has created a positive chain reaction, in my life and the lives of others..  It has effected a countless people.

Following my heart has been exillerating.. I have just been jumping with no parachute,  as I struggle To build my dream.  The more I dream the bigger it grows. The higher I reach,  the more I am being lifted by others, to get there.  It’s been a true miracle.  I could never have believed what I could accomplish, in such a short period of time.

Mywings.blog,  was created to help myself and others find the strength to reach for the dreams, that call to their heart. To encourage jumping into life, in a leap of faith.  Perusing the things that call you.

To serve my truth, I will bare my soul & stand naked before the world, as I share my journey, my thoughts, my personal victories & my utterly horrible writing and painting techniques. Its my tool,  to encourage myself to just keep reaching, keep growing, keep trying.  We can not wait for others to give us strength or lift us up.  Instead; If the counters in life are too high, quit whining & make a step stool.  Teach to reach.

I  am not an expert of anything in life ; however I do excell at positively getting myself into trouble. If I say something that offends you or you disagree with, I am ok with that. I have a loose cannon for a finger.  I lack an editor for my mouth and my punctuation.  Feel free to message me any constructive complaints and I will forward you my moms number.  She’s had a lifetime of practice & could use your sympathies.  You can all have a group discuss about changes I need to make for the future. But until then I will make no apologizes for who I am.
