Have a little Faith!

If your goals are righteous, of God-given perspective, eternal in their nature, then go for them. Pray for the inner strength to have the discipline to do those things that will guarantee through your activity and your life that you will reach your goals. Then, I think, perhaps as important as anything, we have to have faith. We have to have faith in God. We have to have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. And oh, how desperately we have to have faith in ourselves.

We all are the sons and daughters of God. Therefore, none of us, no not one, should ever have a low self-image. We belong to Him. We must struggle always to keep in our minds that our ultimate goal is to inherit eternal life

-Elder M. Russell Ballard

I love this. I often forget to have faith in myself as well as in Jesus Christ. We are all sons and daughters of a Heavenly Father therefore none of us should ever have a low self image.

One thing I'm going to strive for this year is to have more faith.

This year has flown by.. And I haven't even learned spanish yet. Ugh. Next year, next year.
Seriously, where has life gone? I feel like I'm holding on for dear life while time zooms on! I haven't had time to just sit and drink hot chocolate and watch the [lack of] snow.

Things on my to-do list if I had more time:

Call old friends and catch up
Deep clean all my closets/room. Organizing. DI-pile-ing. Trashing. Keeping. Memory Remembering.
Sew Dresses.
Read

The Art And Flair Of Mary Blair

Cinderella, It's a Small World, Peter Pan and Alice In Wonderland

Okay.

I'm a sucker for Disney animation.

The main reason I went to see The Princess and the Frog was because it was the return to 2D classic Disney animation. Love.

One of my all-time favorite Disney visual development artists is Mary Blair.

Some of the animation in PATF was inspired by Mary Blair. I about died I was so happy.

Who is Mary Blair?

Above is some of her stuff, I guarantee you've seen it before!

Isn't she wonderful? It's animation like this that inspires me and makes me want to be a Disney animator. Did I tell you? I think I'm going to pursue a bachelors in Fine Art or something like unto that (illustration? graphic design?) after I finish my AAS in Fashion. !!!! Eep! It's just something I have to do. Can't explain it. Can't Wait.
