About Me

I am Wendy in the sense that everyone who had an imaginative childhood must someday grow up. I went from witch princess grand architect to art school student, home owner, and happy wife. However amidst bills and appointments sometimes I find Neverland is still there, I just have to look for it.

Knowing Who You Are

          It's been a while again since I posted anything. I read somewhere the other day that the most evil lie  told is "I am a victim of my circumstances". I agree that this is indeed evil as it goes against basic gospel doctrines, such as overcoming the natural man, do not fear, and choose to be happy. Those are summarized obviously. I think my favorite part of being an adult is that I know what I need to do to be a better person. Childhood is a wonderful place to be but there is not fulfillment in this life in innocence and wonder alone. Life is harder as an adult but it also has more potential.
          There I go again using my blog title directly for inspiration.I'm actually enjoying all the thoughts I have as I compare my adult life to my childhood. There is a certain balance and steadiness in knowing your lifelong struggles. I will probably always struggle with laziness, not that I can't overcome it but I will always prefer laying in the sun and doing nothing to accomplishing house work. I think knowing who you are is knowing who you're not.
          That must be why it takes so long. Personally I've chased a lot of dreams watched them burn and then decided I was going to art. Unlike some, I will never wonder if I was supposed to do something else. Or if I'm just stuck doing what I am doing because I've been doing it for so long. I spent my entire teenage years telling myself I was going to be a fire fighter.-Nope not touching that one with a ten foot pole. Then a nurse-not even close. An astronomer-only in hobby. Musician-again only when I'm not being forced to do it. And then finally out of nowhere art. And art it is. I love everything about creating things no one has ever thought of before and I will never get tired of it. I am an artist because I can't possibly be anything else.
