She has got 
a ton of ideas
The whispers come to her

bring them to the world...

She Puts Her Heart and Soul into It


She sits at her desk
and breathes deeply
and does her best
to put what she has to share with the world
on the page
in the words
in the ink
and the paint
She dreams and hopes
that this could be THE THING
but even so
she shows up
every day...

Whose Dream is it?


I have begun listening to the archives on Monica Lee's website Smart Creative Women

I go back and forth on listening to these types of podcasts because I am so struck by how many people seemed to have had a bit of an advantage moving into a career as a creative entrepreneur but minimizing that fact a bit.  How many stories have you heard of someone trying to do it with family in tow, no backing from family, refusing to go into credit card debt and no creative community around them. Those are the stories I would like to start hearing about.  

What I have found refreshing about Monica's podcast is that I have stumbled upon a few creative entrepreneurs who did not have the rosy beginnings or who are NOT giving advice such as it's just because I am afraid of having financial abundance in my life.  um.... well I will resist the urge to get snarky.

OK so for this week's Linger question:

The dream that you are working to see come true - have you forgotten whose dream it is?  Are you allowing others to tell you all the must dos to bring it forth, has the dream been pushed and flexed and possibly even gotten so huge that you have forgotten the beauty of why you started to pursue it in the first place?

Artist Spotlight: Kate of KMericks








Artist Bio:
 
"I am Kate, a mixed media artist and digital illustrator. I aim to inspire with words of wisdom and happy images! I am also a mom, and the joy and innocence I experience everyday through my kiddo shines through my art.

Being a mom has also given me an even greater drive to create art. When a child learns to do something, they repeat it over and over. Because they can, and it delights them. I do art, and it delights me.


I create with the hope that my art brings joy, from My Heart to Your Heart. Each piece of art is crafted individually with a specific message in mind. The pieces can also be combined to create a collection of beautiful thoughts. I think that KMericks art would go well in any room, but the nursery or office seem to be most applicable in my mind.


And just as I help my kiddo grow by learning new things, I help myself grow as a person and artist by trying new things too. So keep popping in, as I am constantly coming up with new ideas!


Lastly, people call me Type A Plus, which means I have lots of energy and attention to detail, so rest assured you are getting my best!
