I've been thinking a lot about this lately.
What is possible?
Is EVERYTHING within the realms of possibility?
I watched this beautiful video with Marco and the girls last night. Marco's new passion is kite surfing and he LOVES feeling at one with the wind! These guys take it to a whole new level and just left us all speechless....I feel like they are truly dancing on the edge of possibility but also in some way opening the boundaries just that little bit wider for all of us......
I'm really interested to hear back from you all because I know that for me I have spent a lifetime
watching
observing
taking things in
and feeling a certain shift inside me when something that I thought was out of my reach suddenly comes into my vision of what is possible .......
simply because I have seen it done by someone else or felt the feeling for a brief moment of what it would be like to be doing whatever it was that I didn't previously think was possible.
I believe that we have these pivotal moments...little epiphanies....like the night 25 years ago when Marco and I went on our first romantic holiday to San Jose del Cabo and bought our very first artwork together, a beautiful woodblock print titled "Exprisionera" that hangs in our kitchen today, a symbol of breaking free, going beyond the boundaries, a sign of things to come?
like the day I bought a fabulous book by Dory Kanter called Art Escapes in 2008, opened it up and discovered that it was possible to not only be an artist but to travel around the world to exotic locations teaching others!
I remember saying to Marco, "I'm going to do that one day"
Like the time I created my vision board around my dream of travelling and teaching, including a picture of the oh so talented Flora Bowley teaching and then within a year Flora was here,
in my home,
sharing dinner and wine
and her stories,
teaching a workshop which I organised,
opening my vision of what is possible even FURTHER.....
Fast forward to this moment and I find myself planning an unbelievable adventure in which I am the artist travelling to amazing locations to share the things I have learnt along my painting journey and to help someone else believe in new possibilities!
This time next year I'll be flying around the beautiful U.S meeting many of you that have become my friends here. I am so grateful for everyone that has offered to help and for all of the love and inspiration ♥♥
Keep believing in possibilities
love Tracy xox

Now...be sure to share this with Marco!!! http://youtu.be/fO3Rc8q_PMw
Love you Girl!!! <3
Lovely inspiring, encouraging post. I am so impressed how you made it all happen!
I LOVE your work(colour makes me happy) and one day Im going to take a class of yours!
The times in my life when I haven't taken risks come from fear - the fear that I won't get it right, that I'll fail.
But when I let go of fear, and believe that however it will work out is just perfect, I can take the risk.
Which is lovely to say, but really, I've forgotten that fact. Until now. Thank you for reminding me of what is possible!
I've been updating my personal website to share more of all of the above, and when I posted a photo of me teaching Creative Entrepreneur workshops in Uganda on my "work" page, it showed me how whatever we dream of doing IS POSSIBLE - that is what I love to show women who travel and study with me. If I could put the photo here I would, but I think I can put a link - and will share it on FB too.

Paths crossing, interesting that you were just here in MO and then went to TX which is where I just came from. Now I really do think our paths will cross when I go to Sydney! Enjoy the rest of your tour.
