On the importance of being artsy

The last couple of weeks have been nothing short of insane! No time to even go potty! (Seems like). Anyway, hi, all. Miss me?

What I'd like to disuss today is the importance of keeping your art nearby to remind you of what's important.

I've been getting ready for my first seminar and getting business coaching clients and have been guilty of not making my daily art projects a priority as I should have. I found that my inspiration and creativity were getting stuck and I was finding it tough to stay foccused.

Two days ago, I got myself by the shoulders and gave a good shake. I picked up my sketchbook and my magic markers and made some art. Yesterday, I did some doodles while on a reallly boring conference call that I probably wouldn't have missed had I skipped it.

Today, I feel energized and ready to tackle anything once again. I fed my artistic soul and now the rest of me feels satisfied and ready to go conquer the world.

Let that be a lesson to you, my friends. No matter how small, how comparatively insignificant it may seem at the time, do some art every day. Write, sculpt, doodle, dance, paint, color, glue, I don't care what, but do it. You'll feel better for it.

Dream on!
