It still matters

I can be silly privately.
It does not have to be done publicly for it to count or matter.


You do not have to do something publicly for it to count or matter.
Do things in your life that matter to you and don't worry about it if no one else knows.

Applause is over-rated.

ps:  Here's a pic from my new art journal.  I was hiding a lot of things from you because I got wrapped up in the idea of making money again (when will money stop being equated with worth in my mind?).  Screw making money with my art.  I wanna make happiness with my art.  I wanna make inspiration with my art.  I wanna make delight with my art.  I want what I FREELY share to jump out of the computer and run up your arms and into one of your head holes and nestle into your brain and start to whisper lovely creative, inspiring things to you while you sleep so the next day you find yourself creating things you've only dreamed about before.  Isn't all that so much lovelier than money?  Money is so dirty....ewww.  I get this idea of money in my mind and then I start being secretive about what I'm doing and how I'm doing it and don't want to tell anyone anything and honestly, I have found that kind of environment does only one thing:

It manufactures FEAR.

Once fear gets in, it goes for my jugular......the "I can't do this" whatever 'this' is recording comes out of storage.  UGH.  and then I have to beat that be-otch back into its hole with a paintbrush!

I know money is important.  But Oh my dearest God, I just wanna share.  The message I received while growing up said sharing makes everything better.  That includes art and the making of it.  Can I please, God....can I just spend my life sharing and let you take care of the money?

  1. What a wonderful post!! I've not peeked at my favorite blogs for so long, and needing some inspiration today I hopped over to relax and peruse. Your post really hit home with me, and I find I do the same thing! My blog has been pretty abandoned and neglected because of the very fear you are talking about.

    The whole aspect of making a living with what you love is a tricky one indeed. I walk a fine line and usually manage...but sometimes it's just tough. Thanks for sharing today...it was just what I needed :-)

    1. Angela - It makes me feel giddy when what I can reap from my journey and share is needed. And to think, this was one of those out of no where posts that just sneaked up on me while I was writing about something completely different. musta been magick. ;)

  2. I like this post, it struck a chord with me. How much better everything would be if we all just shared. And, believe this, the money will take care of itself and there will be plenty and more.

  3. You're so awesome! I've been missing your videos and hope you'll do some more soon. I've always wondered why we have to be so obsessed with money. I like the old barter system myself. But sometimes it's hard to figure out what I could barter with. Anyway, just wanted to say that I loved your post!
    take care

    1. Hi Laura - what a fantastic thing to read "you're so awesome!" big smile. Thanks for the love. Videos are on their way my dear. I hope they're just what you've been longing for.

      The IRS hates the barter system cause they don't get their slice of the action! ha!
