Writing the book, your growth as a bead artist ... I'm sorry you're disappointed but my experience has been that there is something around the corner that's even better. Many times our grief over disappointments leads us to much better things. Grieve now, but know there is something better on the horizon!Barbara Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489926298058491835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-81227202528630885782010-07-16T15:54:18.830-04:002010-07-16T15:54:18.830-04:00i am so sorry that you feel the balloons you know ...i am so sorry that you feel the balloons you know have popped... but perhaps there were are in your cluster that you were unaware of and they are still flying high... keep working, finding joy... you work hard, have great ideas... one of my new phrases to live by is 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'... you never ever lose by trying... `i too am aware of the buddhist saying and happen to think that is some pretty sage advice... stay open -mairedoddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518352870828784085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-70568935370823590012010-07-16T13:43:31.453-04:002010-07-16T13:43:31.453-04:00You?

I'm with you on playing it ...Big hugs, Kerry. <br /><br />I'm with you on playing it safe. I took a big (for me) leap on a project - I feel passionate about it, but it could blow up in my face. The thing is, though, I had been agonizing over it for quite some time - I figured that I should at least try.<br /><br />I'm not really a fan of giving up a dream, especially one that feels right. It may look like I give up sometimes, but what I really do is step back, hold the dream closer, and refine it. Without knowing any details, I'm not sure if this could work for you - but can it? Is there a way to still have your dream? Can you do it yourself?<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your story and being so open about it. That takes big guts, you know.Brandi Husseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04130818828716564746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-32621808847910278352010-07-16T12:29:27.019-04:002010-07-16T12:29:27.019-04:00Kerry, you actually sound like many of us probably...Kerry, you actually sound like many of us probably feel about playing it safe. I surely believe that is more the norm than those who really stand out by being bold and taking leaps where we might just stand and watch them do it.<br /><br />My brother suggested a book to me yesterday that sounds like it might hold what we both need: The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.<br /><br />Here a couple of critiques about the book that caught my attention:<br /><br />"this book aims to help readers "overcome Resistance" so that they may achieve "the unlived life within."<br /><br />and...."He identifies and explains seven distinct stages of the creative process: discovery and encounter, passion and commitment, crisis and creative frustration, retreat and withdrawal, epiphany and insight, discipline and completion, and responsibility and release."<br /><br />His beliefs are based in Eastern philosophy which fits in line with the Buddha statement.<br /><br />I'm waiting for my copy.....RockerJewlzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796887328545809297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-83742380417015764212010-07-16T09:54:02.345-04:002010-07-16T09:54:02.345-04:00Kerry,
Thank you so much for being honest and open...Kerry,<br />Thank you so much for being honest and open about this subject. So much of what we read on blogs is only the success part, and sometimes it causes others (me) to feel the pressure of putting yourself out there, always dreaming, always moving towards the next big thing. Like you, I don't dream big. I don't dream of being published, or being wildly successful, or being well known, creating the next big fad in jewelry. My dreams stay just a little out in front--still in that 'comfortable zone'.<br /><br />Having your dreams 'popped' is disappointing, but I'll bet that you'll have another dream floating around soon.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-40418205079957446702010-07-16T09:11:00.197-04:002010-07-16T09:11:00.197-04:00Hey Kerry, the Buddha quote is right on. Funny, I ...Hey Kerry, the Buddha quote is right on. Funny, I pulled my book out on Buddhism a few days ago. I refer to it sometimes when life gets so crazy or when I get discourage. I really need to study his principles so that I can apply them to everyday life so that I can deal with situations that aren't going my way or working out. Though, back to the Buddha quote, yes, things didn't work out this time, and there are tears, but just wait until "whatever it is to be" comes into your life, then you will understand why this all happened.Jeanettehttp://www.jeanetteblix.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-45642269918504145332010-07-16T08:45:48.139-04:002010-07-16T08:45:48.139-04:00I could say things like take the Lemons and make l...I could say things like take the Lemons and make lemonaide..but by what you say often times I see a very bright young woman who does well.

I know it's very hard to have your heart set on something only to have that dream shattered. But you will never know until you try, and sometimes the reasons that things don't work out for us are not apparent until the next and sometimes better thing comes along. So sorry that you had all your wishing balloons pop on you. I hope that you can find a silver lining and like you said, look for a new bunch. :) Keep your chin up!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284560168704392815noreply@blogger.com
