Today at Brew Bar I noticed an article in the Canberra Weekly about a grant for people with disabilities of $1500 to assist people in enhancing their gifts. As I drove to Calvary Hospital to see Maree, I though about how I could attract other artists to me and I thought I could give a $500 grant and that would put me in touch with possibly young emerging artists. When I was waiting for the lift at the hospital a man arrived with a painting in his hand and I asked him if I could see he painting. It was a painting by a 10 year old autistic boy and it was brightly coloured and made me instantly happy. I told the man I was looking for a group the would help grow me as an artist and he said he was an artist and the president of the Artisit Society of Canberra and gave me his card. I said to him that this was meant to be and he agreed and filled me in on all they do and I'm going to their meeting on the 29th of October.
In 1995, after mum died, I wanted to become a masseur. On my next birthday, dad brought me a massage table and I set about doing a few courses. I loved it so much that I knew I wanted to do this full time and I applied for my business name even though I was not fully educated and not actually working in the field. I was searching for a school who met my needs. I found it but it was too expensive and it was in Bendigo. I started reading the Bendigo Advertiser on line in 1997 every day to become familiar with the city because I really wanted to do the course but didn't know how it would ever happen. Then the 1998 flood came and the insurance I got for my house funded my year in Bendigo in 1999 and the diploma course in Remedial Massage I completed. This was when I first realised the power of attraction in realising dreams.
And thats all.
