Last day of Month *2*

                         2013 Unleash is happily under way!


It is the end of the second month and I can honestly say that things seem to be on track, although they go in and out of focus. Something is unfolding, but I don't know that I can yet name it.


There are two larger pieces 'on the easel' and three more misfit dolls in progress. Today was day four of the Right Brain Business Plan Summit (see link below) and the creative energy is bubbling. 


At the beginning of January I posted a "Creative Pay it Forward" self-challenge on FB, and I am ready to start sending gifts out. It feels like all of the information and inspiration from the Summit are a gift from the facilitators and presenters. I am grateful for their paying it forward and indirectly encouraging my process.

Today marked the first of a 10-day exploration for 
right brainers in business. Jennifer Lee is the genius 
behind the magic. To kick it all off: Dan Pink talking 
about 'sales' in its broadest sense; more like getting 
your point across and having others join you-than 
any other kind of transaction. In one word: awesome!
Here's a link to get your free ticket: http://rightbrainersinbusiness.com/

Join the close to 500 right brainers gathering to learn, 
share, support, and grow!!

“Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us 
just show up and get to work. If you wait 
around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightening to strike you in the brain, you 
are not going to make an awful lot of work. 
All the best ideas come out of the process; 
they come out of the work itself.”

There has been a lot of activity in the studio this week. Still feels like we are working things out and working things through. The top pics are from a mixed media journal page. It is still in progress

To the left is a mixed media painting on canvas. Also in progress and currently not feeling quite on track.

Not pictured, but very much receiving attention are three new misfit dolls and a post-card series of Strawberry shortcake pieces for my baby niece, due to arrive in the next couple of weeks!

Lastly, there was a play date with my friend Judy which I will chronicle in an upcoming post!

Facing Reluctance; Facing Fear

2/4/2013

The proposition alone triggers a wave of jitters: become a full-time artist.  

Is that what I really want? Can I really leave my clients, the built-in accountability of having a schedule, the depth of sharing, the role of guide and supporter? ... Or it is what I want... I am just afraid I can't pull it off?

2013 is my lab. My number one task is to TRY THINGS OUT. When I am reluctant to do something my gut is telling me to try; I negotiate. 'Do it for 15 minutes.' 'Just start.' 'Do it first.' Reluctantly sometimes, I engage... and frequently I am amazed at the results: it gets done. It's no big deal. And even if it is not really something I want to do again, it's still No Big Deal.

So the take-away for this quest to overcome reluctance and face my fears is to keep moving, to be kind and compassionate towards myself, but to push in the direction of the question, which might just be the direction of the dream.
