I've seen the Light

  

Ok, I haven't seen it quite yet, but I will !!!
 I performed the Rebecca Happy Dance today, and it felt good, it had been awhile.
I discovered I was one of 3 winners, for the Judith Heartsong artsy essay.
Here's the link to my essay in case you missed it........Mosaic Artsy Entry
It was a brilliant day.
 Could everyone see the sun was shining alittle brighter?
The air was just alittle lighter?
Thats because I will soon have a beautiful, brilliant, cherished Light series original painting
from the talented and generous hearted Judith Heartsong.
<be right back, I have to go dance alittle more>
Thats right folks, she doesn't have to be sad to be alittle crazy


 
    So how was everyone else's day? Good, ya? A typical Monday? Anything interesting happen? Oh, you wanted to know how my day went? Well, thats easy, beautiful. Best day I've had since March 23, 2005, to be exact. Why you ask?
    
     Honestly, I woke up feeling better then I have in weeks, then I choose to work from home, so that was feeling pretty good, I was completely ignoring work calls, and that felt great. Then......well, I imagine you can guess this part. I discovered the honor given to me and that pretty much set the tone for the rest of the day. If any sad or negative feelings started to peek from their corners I told them to shove off, they were NOT to ruin this day!
 
    So thats my story and I'm sticking to it. You never know what Rebecca you'll end up with tomorrow, so we'll do this day by day! And no, I'm not really crazy, I've asked the doctors, but they keep insisting I just have an overactive imagination. Go figure.
 
    Just one more gushy moment. I would like to thank Judith Heartsong for the forum she voluntarily gives to every person in this space of Internet journal world. Her essay contestis open to everyone willing to take the time to write. She doesn't have to do such a thing, especially on a monthly basis. She doesn't get compensated monetarily for giving of herself this way, it is done purely from her love and heart. 
 

Judi is the extraordinary,
that is so hard to find in an ordinary world.
 She is a gift to us all.
Thank you for bringing Light.

This is such fabulous news, Rebecca!  Congratulations!  (Doing the Rebecca Happy Dance!)  I'm beaming with pride, but not in the least bit surprised that your entry won the Heartsong Award.  It was such a beautiful entry, as so many of the entries for this competition were.  I visit your vestibule-journal on my out the door, and I never fail to enter the Great-Room of life inspired.  My senses are activated, my mind is stimulated, and for this I thank you!  Congratulations again, your entry was truly beautiful!
Best,
Judith
