after holding it secret in my heart for months! To sell one thing on etsy is a baby step towards living full-time as an artist. Wow, I said it out loud. Part of working through the Wish-Craft book was writing down my ideal day. Not a vacation day, not a special holiday but an everyday-day. A big part of my ideal day is working in the studio; no deadlines, offices, meetings or projects. Also discovered I am able to do good work even if I’m cranky, tired and not feeling especially inspired; waiting for that perfect afternoon of uninterrupted time, the Muse whispering to me, the house silent except for my music…. I could wait forever! Anyways – the first step is to sell one thing on etsy. I have about 100 hand-made cards done and I’m almost finished with my most recent scarf. Ah, so maybe add a deadline. Get my etsy shop open by November 13 and list whatever items I have ready by then.
Yesterday while Max was in therapy I went back and read the chapter “Goalsearching”. I am so energized by reading this book, making notes and doing the exercises. I love the way she organizes the concepts, her real-life examples, her sense of humor… by far my favorite “goals” book I’ve ever read.
