Ways

I really feel like chiming in on the blog here today.  I am experiencing such an opening with all of the energies that are coming through.  I was able to donate to some causes and charities that I care about over the weekend and that was a moment of triumph to have financial freedom to do that.  It was truly an expansive moment.  Granted I am no millionaire at the moment but it was very special to feel in my heart like I had enough to share with others.  That is what I want to be doing with my time and energy.  I want to be getting to a point financially and in my working as an artist and life artist so that I can be giving more and more to people in addition to fulfilling my own purpose and needs.  That is what is truly special about this time in my life. 

I still want to print out all of these blog entries and see if there is another book in here.  It reminds me of a book that I bought about Matisse that had little quips about his life and working process.  It truly is a triumph when you can believe and see how you are on par with great artists from throughout time in your own way.  That own way is the very stuff that it is all about.  I put up my first product to sell in my very own store this weekend and that too was a super triumph.  It gave me a taste of what it would be like to make a stand as a conventional artist and make money doing what I love and know to be true.  

I have had a reinvigorated vision to publish my second book called Life Art, sell artwork , work my day job and coach.  There is literally nothing holding me back.  There never was.  Granted getting these magnets which is what I am selling on my website was not easy.  It was hard.  It was a challenge, a bit of a struggle.  But I feel like I achieved something in getting them made.  I wanted to give up more than once along the way but lo and behold it was meant to be that they are now made and really successfully so, and ready to be sold.  

I am also thinking of putting work into a local show for artists from the county where I live.  It might be that I make a large 24 x 36 version of the magnet image and show that along with the magnets for sale.  I am experiencing a resurgence of the conventional artwork in this way.  As something new.  It is almost as if the Universe was making a way for me with my day job and school showing me that I can do big things and stick with them.  I am learning more and more that I have what it takes to be successful at the thing I take on.  I am 41 and it feels like I am in all of my power truly.  I am doing everything and more of what I set out to do and be and become.  I am right where I need to be.
