So this was a very exciting day for me! My book was in the mail... I need to proof it and see that all is well before the publisher will print all of the copies. Mom and dad were so excited to see it and I can't believe that this dream in my head that's been there for 15 years is finally a reality!! It's a bit surreal to say the least... I started writing this book 10 years ago and finally finished it and got it published! Life is grand! It's been a whirlwind of activity - art classes with waiting lists again and so many exciting things in the future... A field trip to Amsterdam planned for the Adult students, organizing Book launch events once my books have been printed (you can Pre-Order online now at my website www.christinathoen.com to have shipped or pickup at a launch or at the studio!!), Infinite Possibilities workshops in the works (which is truly teaching what my book is all about...), a few commissioned pieces on the go and feeling myself just "itching" to paint so many awesome paintings that are in my head... I feel like I'm playing a bit of "catchup" after a summer of downtime... but it feels amazing and I could not be happier to get a glimpse of what life has in store for the future. So for now.... I'm just EnJOYing TODAY which is truly all any of us can really do... it is the Present... a gift... The past we can reflect on (and hopefully keep in mine the BEST parts)... and the future can be something that excites us (but we aren't there yet - so today is all we truly have!). ENJOY.... xo
