Emerge is a great word. It speaks to me because it relates to my chosen word "visible". I can totally identify with the "WHEN?" question. I am working on being patient. I am reading 12 secrets of Highly Creative Women (a free blog book group particpating with a bunch of creative women) and we are on chapter 4 which focuses on this period of waiting as part of a cycle... a kind of fallow period when things are building underneath to propel us forward. That is reassuring. Hold on, stay positive and good things will come.carin.chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13011266754712730052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-8423215246736443632009-02-04T05:49:00.000-06:002009-02-04T05:49:00.000-06:00Your picture, always left me..... speechless :-) w...Your picture, always left me..... speechless :-) well done!J.Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15472293292980352826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-68021381422258930002009-02-02T15:45:00.000-06:002009-02-02T15:45:00.000-06:00How beautiful...

Then something comes along to toss us out of our safe nests. How much better to view it as a chance to emerge -- as a flower from a bud, as a butterfly from a chrysalis, as a bird from it's nest... And how wonderful to be able to say that "I made it" through such adversity.<BR/><BR/>LOVE that last photo.

As one who has had many, many ends and many new beginnings in her short life, I understand your inner-child's temper tantrum. We HATE being in limbo! But I suppose the hang-time in the middle is a good time to do exactly what you're doing: redefining yourself and your hopes and your dreams. I'll be sending you lovely thoughts of peace, patience, confidence, and victory. : )Laura Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407229726272149440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-78526604111987782912009-02-02T09:48:00.000-06:002009-02-02T09:48:00.000-06:00emerge - I feel excited for you.

Not only are you extremely talented, but very prolific, too. I'm impressed and amazed by the sheer number of stunning photographs you produce, like this flowering tree here. Just incredible! I am so glad you are around to delight and surprise me :)<BR/><BR/>And, if anything, this "downturn" has taught me to spend most of my waking life doing something I love and something that's creative, and not fall into another 15-year span of having a "day job" and then doing what "I really love" on the side. No more of that for me, if I can help it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875843561389199651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-78367255530971684312009-02-01T16:49:00.000-06:002009-02-01T16:49:00.000-06:00I'm so sorry that you had a rough year.But you sou...I'm so sorry that you had a rough year.<BR/>But you sound very determined now to get back on track, good for you!<BR/>I know this is lame, cheerlead-y and maybe not what you want to hear, but it always helped me when my Dad would remind me, <BR/>"You can do ANYTHING if you try hard enough."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-28939259028049692272009-02-01T15:27:00.000-06:002009-02-01T15:27:00.000-06:00you can do this..very fitting word choice!blessing...you can do this..very fitting word choice!blessings, ELKELKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935251214683485912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-27943984744921742132009-02-01T15:10:00.000-06:002009-02-01T15:10:00.000-06:00I am my own person here.
