All my life I have had hard time visualizing myself working as in earning money, and what I would do with it if I did. I could not picture my life past my 30's, past my wedding, until again I could visualize myself as an old woman, but the middle part was in a thick haze of "what am I going to do with that part?" My break through came in the form of a professional photography course I couldn't afford. I told myself, that oh well, I will have to do that later when I can afford it, and that's when it all cleared up to me. I could do what I wanted during those mid years of my life, I could study photography and other arts, and just enjoy my life and everything there was to learn about it. And then the whole wedding dress business started to make sense, there was a reason for it, a purpose that I could fulfill. And as it got a purpose, the success it would be emerged from the fog. And now, I dare to say, I know exactly where I'm going and what I'm going to do with my life. That is not to say that it will all come to be, but at least I have a goal to work towards, which is a lot better than floating around and just waiting for the life to happen - if it ever would.

When my husband and I told our families we were planning to move thousands of miles away and become potters they were totally freaked out. They too had that image of artists starving in garrets in their minds. It took 5 years for my husband to build the business up to the point where I could let my librarian's job go and work fulltime in our studio with him. Although I have no formal training whatsoever I was able to teach myself sumei brush painting. During those years I worked my fulltime hours in a compressed 4 day work week at the libraey so I could paint pottery 3 days of the week. As I look back on those days a smile spreads from one ear to the other. We had a dream. We worked together to make that dream become a reality and we succeeded. We were able to visualize our success before it came to be and also able to maintain a positive mindset. This is not to say that we didn't have very hard times because we did. From time to time our ability to stay afloat was questionable and our knees were knocking with fear. It is to say that we were determined to make it and we did. I adore all of the designs of the bridal gowns I have seen on this blog. I have complete confidence in your ability to deliver unique and gorgeous designs that brides will love to wear on the most special day of their lives. Therefore I will be cheering you on from the sidelines.
