Yesterday was a hard day. I was really struggling with what I'm doing in my life. Primarily around the business/job area. Taking these business classes and listening to the negative voices in my head and around me regarding making a living off of art was getting to me. I may yet decide that having a day job is the best option, and I am looking for that perfect day job. or I may decide I have a better idea for a business. But for now, my business Almost Monday and my oil painting need to be the focus of my site/blog energy. I've been given the greatest gift of time and I should not squander it on doubt and depression. I've been really productive over that last 6 months and will continue to do so. But I am allowing myself to enjoy the summer weather while I can! Any small business is a lot of hard work!!
And I'm not afraid of hard work!
The changes - My domain name will now point here, instead of directly to etsy. I'll be using this blogger page as a website until I'm at a place to have a "real" website. I'll be practicing some different marketing techniques and also expanding my general knowledge of business and art. I'll be focusing less on unemployedness and more on the making of art and business.
Suggestions are always welcome! I love hearing from you! It makes me know I'm not just talking to myself! I really appreciate each one of you as you listen to me ramble through my life changes and struggles!
Happy Friday everyone! I hope the sun fills your yards and warms your heart this weekend!

I love hearing about your journey. It's a very difficult one but so worth it! You growth has been so inspiring to watch. I really love the work that you do and the look you created around it. Keep your head high because you are doing what you should be doing.
Thank you Nancy! It is hard sometimes but also fun and exciting! I just read this quote today "There is only one success-to be able to spend your life in your own way." - Christopher Morley
That really hit home today.
