I've been expanding my horizons....

      So, as we all know when you have been doing anything for a while you

can become stagnant and things don't excite you as much as they used to. 

Its a tough thing to work through. As much as I love my work I needed something to get those creative juices moving.My boyfriend mentioned going on a trip to the Socorro Island which included.sailing on the Nautilus Explorer out to dive and interact with the friendliest giant mantas in the world.  Believe me I so wanted to go but that meant I would have to learn to scuba dive and get my open water certification. 

      Let me tell you no easy feet. I mean get me ten feet under and

my rational brain says. "What the hell are you doing down here. you breath air..." I stuck it out...and last weekend in Catalina I got to realize just what I was working for....I now am Certified. I get to see those giant Pacific mantas at Socorro Just as wonderful are local population of bottle nose dolphins

Shark sightings are very possible with sightings of silky, Galapagos, hammerhead,white tip and silver tip sharks. Whale sharks can also be seen.

I worked hard and am so looking forward to this.

     I know that my passion for my work will so benefit from this experience. I wonder how many ideas I will get for new designs, submerged flowers, the possibilities are so exciting. I will keep you posted....
