In the past few years, I have learned a very important lesson: I don’t know much. Every time I think I know what’s best for me, especially the times when I make grand declarations as to what those things are, I am humbled by the beautiful and unexpected reality.<\/p>\n

When I concluded I should be single a good, long while, Rama walked into my life. When I stopped believing in my little childhood dream, a successful stationer wrote to me, asking if I had ever considered designing cards<\/a>. And now, this: I had just started to get overwhelmed by making and selling my darling little printed goods when I got word that a card of mine<\/a> was going to be featured in Mary Engelebreit Home Companion magazine<\/a>. This was especially amazing because Mary Englebreit was an art hero of mine<\/a> growing up.<\/p>\n It’s almost as if I have to make a wild and false declaration for something really good to happen.<\/p>\n Or maybe I have to trust the voice inside me that whispers my wishes and dares to make them true.<\/p>\n All I know for sure is I’m so lucky that in spite of my poor judgement and silly insecurities that I am continually proven wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the past few years, I have learned a very important lesson: I don’t know much.
