Please accept my apology and let me know how you're doing. I'd love an update.<br />I just posted a blog today that explains my absence, but I love to hear more of your story.

It hit a personal spot for me. I was injured at work a couple years back which resulted in health problems and symptoms that I struggled with for a while. It eventually led to me losing my career. When this all happened, I had obtained the opportunity of a life time at work. One I had dreamed of since I was little. I lost it all because of this injury. My job was my identity and now I don't know who I am anymore. I am trying to learn to live again and reevaluate what my talents are and what God wants me to do. I have other interest and passions but seem to be afraid to make that push into something out. Thanks again for your awesome words and best of luck getting back to what you love!!!BryanBryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494258999340756001.post-613291313215466502012-03-30T11:05:45.770-07:002012-03-30T11:05:45.770-07:00I just recently joined twitter.

Following anyone that appears they might even remotely have an interest in my watercolor paintings. <br /><br />I've been creating a newsletter for the last two years. It goes out each time I create a new painting. 220+ followers on it.<br /><br />Joining the 48 Days network. Linking arms with like minded people.<br /><br />Per Dan's and Seth Vore's inspiration I have started a kickstarter project.<br /><br />Cascade Of Watercolor http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2019226199/cascade-of-watercolor-take-the-plunge?ref=live<br /><br />Talk about setting yourself up for rejection! Running the risk of emotional injury when people you counted on let you down or don't appear to care.<br /><br />Watching the hours tick past waiting for the first pledge. Will it ever come? Was the goal too ridiculously high? Won't know until it's over. It launched last night. 31 days will tell.<br /><br />Succeed or fail, I chalk it up to one of the lessons that will take me to bigger and better things.<br /><br />I'm open to creative ways to promote it. I'm hoping some good ideas are offered from creative thinkers.Spencer Meagherhttp://www.spencermeagher.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494258999340756001.post-44784393091969188312011-11-24T06:18:15.541-08:002011-11-24T06:18:15.541-08:00Many thanks for a good time visiting your web blog...Many thanks for a good time visiting your web blog.

I've worked in customer service, and learned to listen with empathy. I worked as a software tester and enjoyed it, and learned to ask difficult and challenging questions. Now as an artist - and whatever else the Lord reveals - I am learning to speak with my voice, which is not comfortable, but the stretch of my personality is beneficial. Whether my "Sistine Chapel" is an actual work of art or not, I know I've been blessed to pour into the lives of others and watch them grow.
