Happy Birthday ASiB - March Newsletter

                                                                                      (scroll down to read the news)
   For many of you, March is the time of  year when you may  finally crawl out of your thick winter coats and have that first sitting-in-the-sun coffee experience. (Hmm, maybe not so soon with the suprise-snow we are having today.) But for me, March is a month to celebrate ASiB's birthday, and this year the school is finally growing out of it's diapers and turning two. 
     Writing this letter and thinking about the past two years fills my heart with joy and gratitude to all of you who have contributed to the school's growth and becoming what it is now.  I am grateful to all of you who helped me with your feedback, knowledge and advice - for instead of giving me fish when I was hungry, you taught me how to fish. I am grateful to all of you who opened up your hearts to receive my knowledge and my passion for art, for you gave me so much love and meaning to my life. You gave me reasons to keep believing that what is worth doing is worth doing even if it is not done perfectly. And I am grateful to all of you who supported me in times I was lonely and down. You trusted me and gave me  the strength to keep believing in my dreams. Thank you! I am celebrating all of you!
     I would like to celebrate one more thing - two sentences from an overheard conversation between two of my students last week. One of them, who has already been learning here for 3 semesters, said "I am learning a certain way of doing things. It does not mean that they are right or wrong."  Hearing this made my heart jumped for joy because I then understood that my art lessons were not only lessons in art, but a way to open people's hearts to learn and create in a way which is free of the idea of right-doing and wrong-doing. I think that I could not get a bigger gift for ASiB's second birthday!
