oh the possibilities

I was reading Amy’s post on HandmadeEvolution via Blogging it Forward and what inspires her, she says “For me possibility lies somewhere between the wonderful feeling you get when you have a new idea and that idea coming to fruition.”

Dude I am SO with you! This is the very foundation of what I feel on a daily basis. I’ve been feeling it my whole life, this sense of blooming, of something bigger than me, but could never figure out what it was. One morning recently back from a trip to South East Asia with my best pals, I was out for breakfast on a Friday morning very very early. No one knew we were back, I had no plans, didn’t have to be anywhere or do anything. And I turned to my friend Scott and said “I love this feeling, I feel like I can get anything done this weekend! So much possibility” and then ding. The light went on. I wanted to be reminded of that every day. Afterall, mum always told me to keep all my doors open…

So I called up mum & dad and said ” hey, I’m doing an art project, I need your help. Can you write out the word ‘possibility’ in your handwriting and scan it in for me?” and the next day, I had a new tattoo to celebrate this and my 30th birthday. It’s been 3 years since I got that tattoo & my life has changed, but I’m still reminded daily of what I can achieve. Sometimes it’s overwhelming, all those ideas, but I love that they exist, and that I have the freedom to bring them to life.

    wow i am blown away by this. so cool – i love how we both realized the joy of “possibility” in our own ways at what were probably unexpected moments! there is something about possibility that is just so pure and beautiful to me and it encourages me a lot that someone else gets what i mean by it so strongly! hope you have a wonderful day :)
