Looks can be deceiving. I may appear normal but, I’ve come to the conclusion that I must be crazy. According to the general status quo, the way I am living my life is absolutely insane. Well, it must be true, who am I to argue with so many. The majority must be right. After all, it would be terrible to think that the majority of humanity were living crazy lives and the sanity lies within the minority.
Ah hem. Anyway, I just completed this Visual Journal page today. Through the process of it’s creation I noted that a lot of my personal beliefs run against the “normal” current. I figured instead of hiding and hoping that no one ever discovers my personal bits of insanity, I’d just make it clear right now.
So what’s so crazy about me? Well, first of all my husband, Dan, and I are both artists. Need I say more? The fact that we are living our lives under the illusion that art is a viable career is certainly a sign of mental instability. Beyond that fact, I put my belief in a supportive Universe, a God of Love and the Oneness of all things. I believe in myself and the power of my own thoughts. I believe in following my dreams, wishes and intuition. I listen to the internal voices in my head (yup, crazy). I believe that nurturing and supporting the Earth is important. I buy organic food. I recycle. I believe I can make a difference.
I believe you can make a difference too. By following our hearts we can turn the tables. We can light fires of insanity and see it spread like wildfire across the planet.
Who’s ready for a little fire starting?

I’m in! Just imagine, if each one of us brings just a little spark… what a lovely glow we’ll make! I love the saying that it only takes one little candle can lighten a dark room. I’m not sure who said that, but I love the thought.

You’re not crazy…seems like you got it right!
