Elle Luna on Finding Your Must

Last night to be exact I watched this while having fun using my dip pen. Elle she touches on something that I feel we all should be doing and that is going on an artist date.

Learn to listen to your inner self and to not kill it by ignoring what it says to you.

Happy ThanksGiving

Because you have to realize that what you learn while in school may or may not work in the real world. Within a classroom we are sheltered and somewhat protected. Then when we enter the real world we get hurt when we get clobbered by those more experienced then us.
