To those who step up,

My roommate/best friend a few days ago got into two schools for graduate programs in special education!  I am so happy and proud of her.  Sometimes you don't have control over your life and sometimes you do. 

During my first few years in the Bay Area I created a series of paintings that involved moving forward and looking at your fears.  I titled a painting Step Up.  The painting was about stepping up to your challenges, taking leaps of faith and going forward into unknown adventures.   

I sometimes feel quite stuck seeing as though I am not sure where I am going, what my next steps are and constantly searching for what fits me.  However, steps need to happen!  I can't keep letting my thoughts take over and being scared.  

I will step up soon,
