+ I'm Back!

I'm back! So the question is, where have i been? Ah, the black hole that is motherhood for me. Well, maybe not a black hole....but sometimes I feel "lost in space." Now it is July 3!!!

I spent most of the Spring wondering which aspect of my business I should focus on - art, teaching classes, creating unique products or my intuitive business. Being new to the area and to motherhood seems to escape my awareness, so I am often hard on myself for "not making it all happen". First step - take a step back and assess the situation. I have had to acknowledge that I have more ambition than I have time for. So, my second step was to get a babysitter and set a schedule that I can rely on. I have that now (thank the goddess!!!) The third thing I had to do was pick a focus. This is always hard for me because I love so many things. Again, stepping into the reality of "what is"....I asked the question, what would give me the most stability now? The answer for me, is to build up my intuitive practice from 2-4 clients/week up to 6 clients a week. I've got a good timeline set and a plan of action. With a little help from my people, the universe and the unseen forces, I'll have a good time with this one.

This spring, I opened my art studio (phase 1) at the beginning of May with The Spring Transformational Retreat. It was awesome seeing 22 people painting in the new studio!!! After that, I hosted a series of Friday morning open studios, offering process painting to current students. For the summer, I am focusing on my own art practice & building out the studio. As we love recycling and reusing, we are looking for a few windows and a slop sink.

As my darling daughter was stopped nursing (a self-weener at 1.5 years) I feel I can finally put more energy towards HEALTH! My dear friend Anne Marie Sebastiani (http://www.goalsfortheweek.com) is going to help me recover my long-neglected competitive athlete. We had our first intro-meeting yesterday and I am excited to see what kind of goals we come up with. I will keep you posted!
