End of the year, end of the decade

I am not overly sentimental when it comes to the end of the year but it doesn't hurt to reflect.  Over the past years, I have grown a lot as an artist.  I can now call myself an artist with confidence.  My work has been accepted into many shows.  I am teaching on a regular basis and that feels good.  Most recently I have had people coming to me and asking me to exhibit!  So cool not have to jump through hoops!  I am excited to think what the next year and decade may bring!
