THE DAILY DIARY | MARCH 30TH, 2024

The truth is, I’ve learned the hard way, that being an artist requires me to embrace boredom, slumps of feeling stretched and uninspired. Yup…in fact, these slumps are some of the most valuable moments of being an artist.

What will you do with boredom? What will you do with the feeling that nothing is happening? What will you do with noise happening around you that WASN’T created by you?

THE DAILY DIARY | MARCH 20TH, 2024

In the past several months, I have become more and more aware of the connection that money and noise have to each other. How we spend money is a perfect mirror for what matters most to us and what we don’t want to feel. What we love will be reflected clearly in how we spend our resources. What we hate and don’t want to feel or experience will also be reflected in how much of our resources are spent avoiding those things.

Hence anxiety, depression, and stress. Think about your financial stress as of late. Is it because you haven’t reached your goal yet? Or the fear that you never will, the repercussions of imagining what would happen if you didn’t make that money, get that time off, miss out on that opportunity…

What happens when we don’t hit the target?

THE DAILY DIARY | MARCH 19TH, 2024

My whole career has required virtual clients, virtual money, virtual marketing, and virtual worlds. My entire PURPOSE has become so deeply about other women having a “presence.” Being seen and heard and known by others in other countries and states and provinces.

But are we known in our neighborhoods? Are we known in the places that someday will mean everything? The epicenter of your life. If you decide that there are more than your virtual friends, then what? What else is out there? Oh, so much!

…there is no use hiding and pretending that our lives are as easy as an oat milk latte and a sparkling clean selfie in the kitchen with the sun dancing on your recently blush-kissed face. Do we have these moments? Yes. But…they are strewn between anxious mornings, messy hair days, no-show sales calls, number crunching, gas costing 40 cents more, and lonely nights.
