Purpose it’s that little flame
\nThat lights a fire under your ášš
\nPurpose it keeps you going strong
\nLike a car with a full tank of gas<\/i><\/p>\n
-Purpose from Avenue Q<\/p>\n
Finding one\u2019s purpose is one of those big things in life. And one\u2019s purpose can change over time.<\/p>\n
My purpose is to teach people about puppets and puppetry in any way that I can. I want the next group of people to be able to surpass anything I have done and I will give them the tools to do it with so they don\u2019t have to re-invent the wheel (or puppet rod) each and every time. <\/p>\n
When I see puppets that people have built because of things I have taught them or suggestions I gave them, I get a nice warm feeling in my chest. <\/p>\n
I know there are people out there making better and cooler puppets than mine. And I am fine with that. I learn from them to make my puppets better. <\/p>\n
At Dragon*Con I was on my panel on \u201cSo you want to build a puppet\u201d where people bring in their ideas and we tell them how we would do it. My panelists were just wonderful and each brought a slightly different skill set to the group. The audience had good questions and we had fine answers. I learned a couple of things from my panelists and ways of doing or looking at puppets or organizing to know where your stuff is (Thank you Marty). <\/p>\n
And I love doing things like that. I like using my brain to solve problems or come up with ways to allow people to make the critters that they want to create. If I could make that a job I would and be quite happy with it. <\/p>\n
It was also a good reminder of my purpose and how I cannot just sit on my past work but need to continue to create and try new things. <\/p>\n
I also got some good books that were suggested for patterning and the like. Giving me more knowledge to help people bring their puppets to life. <\/p>\n
And there you have one of my purposes in life.<\/p>\n
I am grateful I have a sense of purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
