jumping ahead

Over the last couple of years, there has been a lot of building, brainstorming and behind the scenes work.  I'm good at that.  I do ideas.  However, I have recently been facing the fact that ideas are just ideas.  It's time for the creativity and passion I feel inside on a daily basis to become something tangible.  Because of the support and inspiration I have encountered so far, I have taken little leaps of action.  Starting the photo blog was a leap.  Putting A Candid Voice out there was a leap.  As I look ahead to the next year, I've got lots of opportunities for leaps of faith and action and I am hoping you will join me...

Things to look for sometime soon:

Daily Perspective
I've been struggling the last couple months to keep up with the posting on the photo blog and considered stepping back from it for a year.  However, after some heartfelt consideration, I have decided that continuing on with the daily photos for at least another year is the best choice for me. 

New Art and Etsy
I'm super excited to say that I have begun working on a new mixed media project and I can't wait to share it!!!  Not only that, but I am planning on getting an Etsy shop up and running to sell my photos and said new art.    

Other Projects
I will share more about upcoming projects on the blog individually, but am thrilled to share that I have three awesome projects already lined up for this coming year!  They each involve a great cause and my artistic perspective, so be watching for that.  :) 

A Creative Community
One of the driving forces behind creating A Candid Voice rather than just a simple art business for myself is my desire to expose creative voices.  I believe that art has the power to change the world in a positive way and am looking to build a community of people that want to help create change.  As I find these people, their art, passions and stories will be shared.  Can't wait!  

 A great big thanks for your love and support!
