Thoughts on keeping things in the cupboard

When I first started this blog, I did not think that anyone would be interested at all in what I do

and my country life style.

I realize that it was no use creating art and keeping it in the cupboard, (Which was what I used to do)

Why not share it with the world, why not pass it on to others, why not give some to others for free,

And why not see if anyone may want to buy some

It is sometimes a bit scary to (Put yourself out there)

As you are putting your soul out there, and that means you have to open the door a bit, and let people see inside

Have the courage to open the door and as you let others have a peep into your world

You get to see into a  world that is full of amazing things, where  wonderful colors and warmth abound

I have all  of you in my life now and how very richer I am through it all

Just by opening the cupboard door a little
