3 Good Things x 3 – and a Freebie!

Summertime – and the living is easy! I finally made it back into the clay studio this week, thanks to girlfriend who wanted to play in the mud and several commissions. Included in the commissions was 2 Ugly Fish to trade for glass beads with glass artists Sue Page. Most happy to oblige! So I posted that on FaceBook and [...]

Shame on you! Why aren’t you….

What do you think of when you think of shame? It usually starts off with: “You aren’t…,” You don’t….,” You can’t….” (that voice in your head). Which also comes out as “Why can’t I…,” “Why didn’t I…,” or “Why aren’t I….” Or: “What will the neighbors think?” I’m sure you can fill in the blanks. I’ve been thinking a lot [...]

Summertime and I’m glad I have air-conditioning!

Summertime and the heat is going to be 102 outside today. I’m moving into vacation mode, or stacation as the case may be. At any rate time off to reflect on where I’ve been this year and where I’m going. A mid-year check in to my word choice of extraordinary for this year’s guidance, and course [...]

Unmasking the Demons at the Gate

The Watcher: I am the one in the corner who sees behind closed lids, the one who counts heartbeats between breaths. I am the one who knows who you are. I was listening to Natalie Goldberg’s Zen Howl on audio while driving to Baltimore the other day. I love the way she reads. And it’s almost [...]

Enough!

What is it in women’s lives that tells them they are not enough? As a coach, I am privileged to work with amazing women: business owners, non-profit directors, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs. They make me tired just telling me what they do on a daily basis. And then they tell me they feel so inadequate. They aren’t where they [...]

This will knock-your-socks-off

I had another blog planned for today. And I realize I’m getting backed up so may be posting a bit more frequently until I catch up (finding so many lovely sites that need to be shared as my FB friends grow). Last week I was reading Patty Digh’s blog (delivered to my inbox – the one [...]

Why isn’t it working? I’ve done it all right!

You’ve watched The Secret. You know what an affirmation is and how to create it and say it often. You’ve made your vision board. You’ve waited. And waited. And waited. You’ve redecided that you’re committed to what you’re doing. And you’ve waited some more. Now you’re ashamed. You know that you create your own life (The Secret and every other guru [...]

Ask for your free gift!

I’m falling in love with AnnMarie Garden’s Market Days as a seller. 3 hours, done by noon before the heat. Good enough sales and lots of list building because people are ready to stop and chat. Two more this year: September and October (1st Saturdays, if you’re local). This past weekend for fun I decided to [...]

7 things you don’t want to miss

1. Great excitement and lots of yummy things being added on my website! For instance, I have broken my Sell Your Art Keep Your Soul course into modules, and added several new ones not covered in the course (including a module on16+ venues with direction for research and how to approach them). These are offered [...]

I Quit!

Yes. You heard correctly. I quit. And it’s about time. I’ve decided to quit trying and just be. However that manifests. What’s so hard about that you might ask. So let me offer you a challenge: just quit being anywhere other than where you are. Quit thinking about doing anything else other than what you are doing, or not doing, right [...]
