I just wanted to invite you to a few days of beautiful, meaningful, wonderful fabulous fun….it all starts on Thursday and ends on Friday night at 11:11pm……over a super fun wish-making ceremony…because when does 11/11/11 happen at 11:11?? Only once a century!!!
Last May when I had such a lifechanging experience at my friend Lara Blair’s retreat….the very experience that helped me to quit facebook all summer and focus on how I really wanted my life to be…and led me to all of the things that happened in SR2 class………anyway……on that weekend…I voiced A BIG HUGE DREAM to Lara and our friend Elida….and that dream was to have my own art show someday…sometime in my life.
Well, Elida said….’how soon can you do it?’
I said… ‘what do you mean?’
She said…’you are doing it this Fall…at my gallery!!! Pick a date!!’
So I picked 11/11/11 and it is this Friday, my friends!! But we are not just having an art show….we are having a full on party party party…live jazz…..food….friends…and the most FUN art auction ever…..everything is going in silent auction!!!
ANYWAY…if you are anywhere near Portland, Oregon, I hope you will come. It is at Elida Art Studio and Gallery in Camas, Washington…right near Vancouver, just outside of Portland…please come!!!
Kathy and I will be there, so will our sister Lynda and a whole bunch of other Brave Girls who are making the pilgrimage from Idaho and even lots of other states…even Mr. Ross is hauling all of the art there, and my son Brock…we all want to meet you, we want to celebrate with you….
…we love fun and we love parties and we love you…so let’s put all of that together!!!
I am just giddy with excitement….DREAMS COME TRUE!!
WOOHOO!!

Way to go! That is awesome! Sure wish that Kansas was a little closer to Oregon – y’all have a fabulous time!
WOW! How exciting for you! I’d love the chance to meet you, and possibly own a piece of your art. I’m in Salem, about 70 miles from the show. (Hopefully, if the schedule allows)
Here’s a new saying for you, Melody: “Brave Girls Make Their Dreams Come True.”
Way to Go!
Oh, Melody! so sorry! I just re-checked my schedule, and I have a class I’m helping teach that night. I so wanted to meet you and see your art in person. Is there any way to bid ‘in proxy’?
Congratulations! So great to see a dream come true! wish I could be there.
Melody I am over the top excited for you!!! I know you’ll have the best time with everyone and having your dream come true! <3 YOU!
If it were only a few hundred miles closer and I didn’t have other obligations, I would be there in a heartbeat!!!!! I will be with you in spirit, and wishing you every good moment of joy that this will surely bring to all of you.
Look at you, you’re DOING IT, oh-so-brave girl!!!! Keep going, cuz you’re inspiring me and many others!!!!!
YAAAAAAHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! What a wonderful gift to yourself and the world around you. Teaching us that reaching our dreams is possible every day.
Congrats!!!
WOW!
Fantastic, Brave Lady. This will be a wonderful event because you are wonderful!
Sending fun, funky party vibes your way!!!!
Melody…you are spectacular lady! Do so wish I could be in Washington for this amazing event—but know that I am with you and Kathy and Lynda and all other Brave Girls in spirit!
Much BG love <3<3<3
melody! you are so adorable!
congrats on such awesomeness! i wish i lived closer so i could attend!
best of luck! xo
So happy for you Melody!!! I wish I could be there! Congratulations!!!
So wish I could attend and bring a number of young women. For them to see joy, acceptance, encouragment, and love from others would begin the healing. Send pictures and share how it went.
I am tHERe in spirit.
I’m so PROUD of you, Melody – wishing you all the best!
Are we able to have a peek at your art on line somewhere??

Just that much too far for my sister and I to go…but we long to and will be loving your success:) And we’ll be launching our own dreams on that 11/11/11. What a fabulous idea!
Congratulations on living the dream, dear Melody! I look forward to meeting you at the Thursday night class.

Please please please do some live video of the event! I would love to see all the artwork, participate in the silent auction (?), and just be a part of it!! Take some iphone video!
Good luck and congratulations!
PS will the flower class be offered online?
I agree with Taryn about the Flower Class — I would *love* to see it as an online class!!!
Can you video the event so that I can feel part of it over here in Europe??
So wish I was on the area! Have xtra fun for me!!

I am so happy for you but I’m also so sad that I live too far away to come and participate. Well one more thing I would love for you to do an online class on how you do all your flowers. Just a little hint.
Oh Sweetheart, You are living your dream…So proud of you!
All the Best! You’ve done an amazing job and have created an amazing community of inspired blessed women (and the few men too!) … Thank you for sharing your art, your enthusiasm, but mostly your heart!
How absolutely wonderful! CONGRATULATIONS!! I’m way too far away to join in on the fun, but will definitely be there in spirit!
I grew up in this area and miss it dearly…..I wish I could be there but I am passing the information to my mother.
way cool Melody, sure wish I could be there. I love all your art, it is so beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for sharing your inner light with us all =)
Sooooo……..How awesome was it?
Melody ~ I CAN’T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS!!! How in the world could I have missed this??? I LIVE in Portland, OR, and am like 20 min. from Camas, WA … I’m soooooo bummed! I absolutely LOVE you and your words and your messages and your artwork. Sheesh. AAANNNDD on 11/11/11 at 11:11 am: I was sitting in Starbucks, writing in my journal preparing for a bike ride on Marine Drive, looked at the time and couldn’t believe it that it was 11:11 on 11/11/11 MY FAVORITE number!!!!!! I sure do hope you come back to Camas, WA. I would so LOVE to meet you and see your work in person. I just can’t believe I missed it… I’m in shock.
Melody ~ is your artwork still at Elida’s Studio??? And thank you soooooo much for your daily messages via “A Little Bird Told Me…” ~ they are so inspiring and really helpful. YOU are a miraculous and spectacularly beautiful BRAVE GIRL inside and out!!!
I wish I had the money to come to the summer club! I am brand new and would get so much from going. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and I used to paint. Now I just cannot start a project. I have no drive! But your flowers made me so happy and lit up my mood ! I would love to take your course
