As the Sun Sets...

As the sun sets on 2016...
BERJAYA

and I reflect on my experiences this past year...
BERJAYA

I think about...

my sense that there is always light to be found in the darkness...
BERJAYA

how hard it sometimes is to maintain my balance...
BERJAYA

the fact that I always have the opportunity to write my own story...
BERJAYA

the times when life felt mixed up and tangled...
BERJAYA

the many treasures I found in unexpected places...
BERJAYA

the losses that continue to hurt all these years later...
BERJAYA

those special memories I created through my own choices...
BERJAYA

the moments I was running on empty...
BERJAYA

my faith in the belief that what goes around comes around
BERJAYA

the heights I reached through hard work and determination...
BERJAYA

and my continued quest...
BERJAYA

Thank you all for continuing to be such a big part of my journey this past year. I look forward to all the adventures we will have together in 2017.

A happy, healthy, and creative new year to each and every one of you!

Top 16 of 2016

Best of...
BERJAYA

December is always a time of reflection for me. At the end of the last three years, I have looked back over the previous year's blog posts to see which were the most popular based on hits. This not only lets me work toward creating a better blog but helps me to take the pulse of the art community. If you want to look back, click here to go to my top 13 posts from 2013, here for the top 14 of 2014, and here for the (you guessed it) top 15 of 2015.

For 2016, I am counting down my top 16 blog posts based on hits. The most popular posts are connected to giveaways, artist issues and think pieces, collaborative art postings, product line releases, video tutorials and trend watching.
