Sometimes when I write a post, I read it back to myself and I'm happy with it, because it reflects how I'm feeling and it's somewhat of an entertaining read, and that's what makes a good post, in my opinion. Sometimes, a bit later, I'll wonder if some things are best left unsaid and if I should make more of an effort to keep my big virtual mouth shut. If you've been following my blog for a while, you know that it's not a life-is-happy-and-shiny-hi-buy-my-beads kind of blog. It's more of an I'm-a-real-person-and-life-sucks-sometimes-but-please-buy-my-beads-anyway kind of blog. It's not for everyone, but that's okay. It's who I am.
For those of you who had nice things to say after yesterday's post, I am very thankful. Your support means a lot, especially in times like these.

Anyway, life isn't all suckish or anything... far from it. There are some exciting things going on, one of the major ones being that I get to take a class with Lucio Bubacco next month.
If you have been following me for a while, you know that I've been dreaming of taking a class with Lucio ever since I got to meet him in Murano last year. And it's actually happening. I have somehow managed to orchestrate a class with Lucio right here in Tel Aviv, in association with GilRaphal and Litvak Gallery, which is now representing Lucio exclusively in Israel and the rest of the world.
I am so excited, I still can't believe it's true. This is not only a personal dream come true for me, but a major event in the life of the Israeli glass art community. The response was overwhelming and the class filled up in just a couple of hours, with enough people on the waiting list to fill up five more classes. I can only hope that this class will be the first of many here in this area.
Take heart, you are blessed with talent and followers who are inspired by your work. I commented on the internal(eternal!) dialog as we all have our own and, unfortuanately, it often tends to reflect our fears. I hope to take a class from you some day when you're back in the USA, yours, Janine

Sarah, I love your blog entries even though I don't often respond. I wanted you to know how much I appreciate yesterday's "thought train". Though it is not encouraging for you to be in the situation, the situation encourages me to keep going. I've often thought about quitting, the same evil voice of reality telling me nasty things, but if THE Sarah Hornick experiences the same thing I do, then I have no responsibility to believe that voice, and all the encouragement to continue with "I can if Sarah can!" Thanks, Sarah.
