Day 18 – 5 am is becoming a habit!

Yes, I’m finally home in my studio!  I’m walking around this heavenly space in awe of its beauty, as if I’ve never seen it before. Still committed to my 30 days, I just realized that for the past two mornings I got up without an alarm.  Wow. Love that this is 5am thing is not only … Keep reading…

Day 17 – ALL is in perfect order, whether at home or on the road

After 12 days on the road, I’ll be driving back over this bridge in a few hours toward the Omaha airport, arriving home later tonight for a heavenly weekend hunkered down in my art studio.  I have loved every minute of where my day job has taken me these last 2 weeks –  New Orleans, Dallas (personal side trip for family), … Keep reading…

Day 16 – Who knew, I love to blog

When I started my 30 day commitment to seriously integrate my day gig and art life 16 days ago, I had no idea that I would actually love to blog. How could I possibly come up with anything to blog about? Would I dread doing this each day, or week? Would anyone want to read what I wrote? … Keep reading…

Day 15 – “Do you like all the travel?”

The number one question I am asked as I travel for my day job is “do you like ALL the travel?”, usually said in a tone that says “you surely don’t”.  In fact, someone asked me this again today. Admittedly traveling almost weekly does have its challenges, but I always answer this question the same way, with simple gratitude for … Keep reading…

Day 14 – Doing “art” in Iowa

With no time off between business trips (I don’t count helping someone pack all weekend being off :), I flew to Omaha, and then drove 2 hours to Sioux City Iowa last night to begin 4 nights working with a client there for my day job. Did I mention that I finally bought a new bright … Keep reading…

Day 13 – Showing up, no matter what

Before I started my 30 day commitment, I would give lip service to making art my priority, but many things would distract me. Now my feet are being held to the fire by this 30 day commitment, and documenting my journey along the way. This is working so well, that I envision this turning into a 60 day … Keep reading…

Day 12 – Ripping fun!

Up at 6am this morning to do a bit of art before I begin helping my cousin adjust to her new home.  The movers spent yesterday moving her out of the home she has been in for the past 20 years, and into a senior community with less than half the square footage.  My energy, … Keep reading…

Day 11 – Art on the ceiling

An added bonus to my week in New Orleans was being able to look up at this beautiful piece of art every day as I worked.  Amazing ceiling with a view.  Made me feel like I was working in an art museum! After spending 5 amazing days in New Orleans for my sweet day job, Robert … Keep reading…

Day 10 – What I most want…

… is a creative, inspiring, connected, abundant livelihood. The sweet truth about this vision? I already have this with my day job. Each morning at 5am I start my day by meditating and giving gratitude for all that I have right NOW, every sweet part of it, from my darling husband, to small luxuries like a comfy bed in a … Keep reading…
