um, here’s a question: how does it feel to be such a hottie?

Ditto. Thank you for the candid answers. Somehow it always makes me feel a bit better that my feelings and emotions with regard to my art are not soley my own. Instead we all share and go through similar feelings as we explore our lives and craft(s). Thank you.

Thanks for being a Creative Fairy to us all. Your book is on a concrete package of fairy dust that I can refer to again and again and again and again for creative inspiration.
I love you!

oooohhh loved loved loved reading your answers! thank you so very much for sharing so truthfully! i absolutely love your answer to the question melissa asked you about your push or drive to realize and share your work. you said that at a certain point of having the ideas come and go in your head that you have no choice but to realize that idea… i can very much relate to that urge and sense of no longer being able to contain that idea inside. the creation of my blog was an idea that came and went and finally i just no longer had a choice but to dive in and go for it. i was so hesitant before, sharing my art, my world… but after some time i felt that if i didn’t share i would just go crazy or something. that urge became a need.
thanks again and have a beautiful weekend!!!

This may seem like an odd thing to thank you for, but–thank you for admitting to being “furious” about your experience. Whenever I experience a setback, I notice myself rushing to do what Ken Wilbur calls “spiritual bypass” (a term I love). I want to hurry up and find the meaning in it, to soothe myself with the affirmation, etc., etc. I learn over and over again that acknowledging the places where a setback makes me furious, or hurts to my core, or makes me feel totally worthless–those are some really valuable pieces of the entire puzzle. When I acknowledge and work through those pieces, I get the real “gift” of the situation much faster and in a much more authentic and real way than I would, otherwise. I remember my Life Coach once telling me that his goal was to be “as transparent as possible.” I looked at him in horror and said that if I really let people see my selfish, irresponsible, thoughtless (etc) bits, people wouldn’t like me. He replied that from being as transparent as possible, I would either decide that others’ opinions didn’t matter or I’d decide that I needed to change my behaviour–and in a much faster and bigger way than if I’d decided to try and hide the parts of myself I didn’t like.
Okay, this has gotten really long (and diverged off topic). Thank you for sharing all of your questions and answers! xoxo
