Opportunity Knocks

There is the saying that I have heard many times that most often opportunities are missed because they are often dressed in overalls and disguised as work. This is true. Opportunity also has the stipulation that one vacates the comfort zone and the meaning is vacate not deviate to go the to corner store to get ice cream. Opportunity has the funny knowing of when a person is ready because it shows up unannounced.

Last Friday I had an email totally out of the blue that had my jaw dropping onto the floor and using a sling to re-unite it with the rest of my face. I have been chosen to design and make a glass art piece that will be given as a gift to an international sister city and displayed in their civic hall. I was both honored and shocked at the same time and yet, very excited. I had my meeting today with the result being that I am designing a totally unique piece that is very much bigger than what I have ever done before in a lot of ways. I'll be doing techniques that I have never done before and making pieces that are only a concept at this time. This project will take my glass art from the jewelry and ornament categories into artwork. I am excited and I am ready as I have put countless hours into my trade.

I have support in place shall I doubt myself and chocolate for celebration and whatever excuse I need. There is only one more thing for me to say: torch on!
