It's yet another excellent example of the saying, "everyone has a story" and obviously Kim's is a very inspiring one. Thank you for sharing the story and congratulations on the Possibilitarian movement.Dianehttp://www.dianeschuller.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15302565.post-91550717469285499602013-01-19T19:55:13.955-08:002013-01-19T19:55:13.955-08:00Kelly,
Hello. I found you by way of Kim's bl...Kelly,<br /><br />Hello. I found you by way of Kim's blog. So, glad to have read her feature here today.<br /><br />When I saw the word "possibilitarian" I thought, "wow what a coincidence!" because just last night, I happened upon a particular boutique for the first time, which I completely fell in love with, where after making my purchase I was getting ready to turn and leave the store when for some reason I glanced up at the wall behind the cash register and saw some amazing wall art...but only one piece really caught my eye because it contained the word "possibilitarian."<br /><br />Needless to say, when I read Kim's blog post about your "possibilitarian" philosophy, I thought that it was rather an odd coincidence that I just saw that word while shopping last night.<br /><br />After looking at your portfolio, I'm now sure it was one of your pieces! Such a "God-moment" for me, and after reading Kim's story and then your story, I am filled with tears of inspiration...which are urging me to share with you what made this such "God-moment."<br /><br />I picked up a paintbrush for the first time in August of 2011, and only began experiementing with photography and digital art in 2010after suffering a severe depressive episode that landed me in the hospital back in '09.<br /><br />Art and writing have been my saving graces through my dark nights since then.<br /><br />While seeing all that you and Kim have accomplished in such a short time inspires me, it also plagues me with twinges of jealousy, because I know that I will never reach the level of success you both have achieved due to the limitations my mental illness places on me (believe me, I have learned these limits the hard way.)<br /><br />However, I will still continue to learn and create...for God, for myself, and for the few people who follow my work.<br /><br />When my art gets to the level it would take to be "worthwhile" to the masses, I hope it finds its place...and for that reason alone (not for money - I don't want or need for anything, so money is not a factor.)<br /><br />I would just love to touch more people's lives with what I create. I worked in the healthcare industry like you, prior to my hospitalization, and since becoming disabled I feel like I don't make a difference in the number of people's lives that I used to. My biggest desire is to do so now through my art and/or writing.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me share my story, Kelly. Many more blessings to you on your incredible journey!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />SheilaSheilahttp://aberrantart.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15302565.post-6760314117979895832013-01-18T11:20:23.902-08:002013-01-18T11:20:23.902-08:00I can't think of anyone more deserving of this...I can't think of anyone more deserving of this than Kim. I've been a faithful fan and student of her online classes for a long time now and she is so giving and inspirational. She makes us all believe that we can be anything we choose to be. Congratulations Kim on being picked as a Possibilitarian.<br />Anne (FireflyFotos)copperponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210714792771111843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15302565.post-52323743328401911792013-01-17T20:31:01.354-08:002013-01-17T20:31:01.354-08:00Loved reading about Kim's story.
