Updates and some thoughts...

In recent days, I read some interesting news... Nothing of much significance in the world, but to me, quite wonderful in deed.
I just find is so amazing sometimes that the little things in life, can so often mean so much.
Like reading that someone who is dear to my heart, and has greatly, and so positively impacted my life, is happy.
Again, news not of great significance in the world...
But for me, this news brings me much joy.
Other news in my life, is that there is now yet another portrait finished for the November trip to New Mexico. This trip should be quite exciting in deed.

Looking to the horizon...

Just writing down my thoughts about the things I see, up & coming.
Just finished a new portrait for Chloe, fulfilling a promise I made. More to myself than to her.
I showed her a blurry photo of a portrait I tried to have delivered. She said she never received it.
I thought well, a promise is a promise. So, today, I just finished it. I think it is far better than the previous endeavor.
My hope is that she will like what I have done. This of course, won't happen until Nov. Time sure is going fast for me these days, and in some ways not fast enough.
It seems harder to do the work I have been doing for so long these days too. My eyes aren't what they used to be.
But art work is still my passion. It pains me deeply that sooner than later, I will have to stop. More, when I have the time.

Well, it's been quite a ride over this past year for me. There have been many dramatic happenings in my life.
I have traveled to some great places, met some wonderful and talented people, made real friends. Made some of my dreams come true.
I have been fortunate enough, to meet a young lady, who's musical talent has for the first time, touched my heart. And brought to me, such a feeling inside, I still cannot properly define it.
A lady, whom I have become friends with. And, I have been so honored to have been able to help out a great many people with the artwork I have been blessed to be able to do, by making a portrait for "Oxfam Ireland Unwrapped."
A charity, that helps so many people who really have nothing. So, by doing what I like to do, I have in effect, made other peoples lives better.
And it all started, with the beautiful music, of greatly talented people. Some that don't understand, and have not really seen the big picture, might call me a stalker.
I would never do such a thing. That would be so mean. I think too highly of others to want to put anyone in such a place.
I have the greatest respect for this wonderful, very talented lady, and all those that she works with, to ever put her, let alone anyone else, in such an awkward situation.
That would be just so insulting to everything that people like her, are trying to do, with the gift they are sharing with people like myself.
I have now been to five concerts, this up and coming, will be my sixth, and maybe the last. Unless I can start making some serious coin.
But, I believe that all good things eventually do come to an end. I have had the best time, traveling to see these shows. Meeting the folks from her Forum Web Site. I have made some great friends. Met the most wonderful people in this group.
Truly, I have been having, the best of times. I have made a dream come true, and seen dreams come true for others along the way.
I have been happier in life than I have in a really long time. I am indebted to everyone I have met while I have been on this journey the past year or so.
There are some, that don't seem to get it though. Well, I just wish that they could have experienced what I have. Has it been worth it? Well, my answer to that is, I just wish I could have done something like this years ago.
For a long time, I have felt as though I wasn't ever getting anywhere in life. I felt like I was alone inside. There was an emptiness, that I can't quite describe. Lately, that feeling hasn't been around. It is because of music...
The music of a wonderful, talented, beautiful violinist.
Thank you Mairead, I feel I am a better person, because of what you, have given me.

Hi everyone. going on vacation from the 30th, the 10th. So, there won't be any updates from me for a while. Going to visit family in Reno Nv. Should be fun, and great to see family I have not seen in over a year. I hope that all goes well in the taping of the next CW DVD. I just can't wait to hear the news of how it went. I know I will be missing all my friends on the Mairead Fan Forum, and on the web. Blessings all around. I will post updates of my adventures upon my return.
