Wow, 2012 is over and it's nearly time to think about my goals and plans and word for 2013.
Looking back over some blogposts I wrote in early January 2012 about my plans/dreams/schemes for this year I can see that sometimes we just don't have enough time to do all the things we'd like to do.
The highlight of the year was my American Adventure and my art classes at Squam with Kelly Barton and Sarah Ahearn. I had an awesome time meeting up with some online arty friends too.
I was part of the 30x30x30 Challenge Exhibition and completed 30 paintings in 30 days and sold 21.
I also joined my friend June Stevens for an exhibition and sold two paintings.
I loved the Life Book 2012 online course and my girls have improved....
I learnt so much from going to a local art class each Wednesday with mixed media artist Neil Elliott.
An article I wrote was published!
My word for 2012 was Courage and these are the goals I achieved from the list I wrote in January:

My word for 2012 was Courage and these are the goals I achieved from the list I wrote in January:
- To be the real and authentic me
- To take risks with my creations/art/paintings
- To live my dreams, follow my passions and create an artistic life
- To be part of as many exhibitions as possible.
- To reach out to others, include them in my life and artistic community.
- To say 'Yes' to opportunities
- To get my writing and artwork published.
- To leave the secure environment of my home.
- To travel to USA, Canada.
- To travel alone and with friends.
- To attend a workshop in the States and to make it the most awesome life and learning experience possible.
- To meet people whom I've never met but whom I know and hold a special place in my heart.

What a great year for you Michelle! Sorry we didn't get to meet in person when you were here, but it was great chatting with you "in person". Have a wonderful 2013!!
ReplyDeleteHello Michelle ~ My name is Karrlin and I am one of the 2012 Flying Lessons Alumni. I have been enjoying your site and also your FlyTribe site. I utilized the lovely button that you have that says "I loved Flying With KRR" for my page... please let me know if that is not ok. It was just so shiny I couldn't resist... ;) It is great! My friend from class said we could join with your Word Hop 2013 and I am very excited about that too! I am happy to meet you ~ please let me know if you have any information for me/us or if I have misunderstood anything!
