there has been a lot of talk in my world lately about how we create better (creating inspiring art or creating a fulfilling life, it’s all the same to me) when we are coming from a place of fullness, fulfillment and satisfaction.
i am in a place of fullness, fulfillment and satisfaction with my art and creativity workshops. i love how they have grown in the last couple of years. i love how my life supports my art. i love that i have the opportunity to create and facilitate the workshops i want to do. i would be happy continuing like this until i retire (working part time and doing art and workshops part time).
but it feels like my art and workshops have grown to a point where they want more. more time, more energy, more focus. because i am happy with what is, nervous about the unknown, and appreciative of the income and security, i have been hesitant and resistant to making any kind of change.
because it’s uncomfortable to be at odds with my own art, i have been unraveling my resistance, looking at my desire to hesitate and have come to a new conclusion. i am ready for more. more art and workshops, less job. my job is great and i do enjoy it and there are so many benefits to having it, but there is no real passion or excitement for me there.
so i have shifted my perspective about my art and my creativity workshops. i used to think of them as what i did for fun, for play, because i felt inspired to do it. now i think of my art and workshops as my work.
it might not look any different on the outside, but this is a really exciting shift for me. i feel new energy flowing in, enthusiasm, ideas, possibility: yes! i am also letting go of all of these outdated and limiting beliefs i had about marketing and business. i am exploring new and nourishing ideas about marketing and business.
and so, i am sending dear fairy out into the world on a mission:

to find kindred spirits and guide them here.
to help me to grow my art and creativity workshops as my business and my work.
i have stepped into the world of advertisements and so far it is a ton of fun.
if dear fairy brought you here today, welcome. please introduce yourself, i would love to meet you.
