A Slight Delay ...


I admit "there was a storm" 

I thought it best to shield you from any aspect of it .....

Thank God, this too has passed.....
May your week, month and year be blessed ......

and know there will be plenty of moments like this.
And...as I have done, 

Sometimes.... its just BEST to retreat.....
and allow and await the new "bloom"

Need More Gurus ?

We are cultivating a culture of guru's which is fine until its time to actually DO the business, Promote the business, Sell the products of the business  and to benefit from the educational offering of those who have provided expertise......

You know the old saying there are "too many cooks in the kitchen" ~ That which provides "practical implementation" was once just called a business with a service, product and standard of which one could be proud ~ And one that the client or customer would be honored to purchase.....

I think I've just added a new standard to my business...One where the customer, whether buying a $5.95 greeting card or $12.00 book is just as important as the client purchasing a $25,000 painting.I have all three price points in my products base.

 All of these clients are equally valuable to me.

Each is a standard by which I can judge whether I've cared for the client in the process of the sale, and the use of my product, my classroom, my content, or my professional "interaction"

I have built the customer service departments of innumerable companies including my own ~ With out customer service.....you might have just annoyed your greatest "champion" ~

They are hard to find, because I'm one of the best " in the world in which I function" ~ The Fine Arts..... for over 30 years....I've dedicated my life to the service of bringing humanity and "beauty" to the world.....

I have succeeded.......

I have created revenue in every business center deemed a "black hole" ie Art, Horses and Boats ......and just about every "THING" else.

The accolades of my company are vast, and the reason for such is that there is a "person," a designer, an artist, a voice behind every cause or product I have championed.......Every voice has value ~

Are you listening ?

It will be the greatest asset to your business
to place conscious intent
in listening to what the customer needs......wants or desires ......
Nothing is trivial, when you are able to deliver ... satisfaction
and are honoring the request of those who, today might request your full attention ~

The "ROCK" That Changes The Course Of The River

Have you noticed that some people...
are just MAJOR control freaks ?

If you follow and watch them for a while

you'll notice that some are blindly screaming at the stars.......
and others are really comfortable in their own skin seeming
to beam sunlight right out of their eyes ! 

Being in control, is necessary in your business, yet if you are unopen to offerings that will lift you from

"trying to reinvent the wheel,"
then you cause your own "pain" and struggle......

There is so much expertise available here on the web.   

Why not choose the best ?
The best is NEVER free.
I mean, those who have created millions

in their particular industry, have insight and experience.

I know for myself, I've reached out to so many

to "shorten" the distance from idea to implementation.....

Some just won't receive help..... 

they are the ones with whom, you just say "next" ~
Its difficult to watch others struggle, yet you must remember that they have just forgotten to "look up" and notice ~ 

There is nothing new in the universe, truly...

It may have been done before.....
That is why its essential to understand "the business model" you wish to implement, and emulate.....and adapt it to your offering.

These processes have always been easy for me to understand......
People really mess up what is "natural" 

by commanding the universe to skip a heart beat.

You can't change "natural flow"    

yet you can become
the "rock" that changes the course of the river....



Be the rock, 
its just easier

The Time Has Come To Mend My Broken Heart

The time has come to mend my broken heart.
Your name comes to my mind
And soothes the pain.
Cause there's been times in my life
I got hurt inside......

Its a cryin' shame that love, 
love is to blame.
Song Lyrics by ©Sian Lindemann 



I love you ...

Letters From The Road Collections









Let your LOVE 
lead the way...
In your life,
In your art, 
In your career.

Its YOUR love 
Its YOUR creation
Its YOUR life.

The rest of the world cannot stop your heart 
from beating YOUR unique gifts.

Never Give UP

If you feel as if you are pushing a boulder up hill 
in your career as an artist, 
YOU are.

I assure you, however, that this is essential...

There will, however, come a point,
where the tides will change.....











and the flow will return to you,
in surprising ways.
Where invitations to participate
in amazing events
and opportunities will be abundant.

Allow the NEW energy IN...

Let others help you move forward.
Express your gratitude,
that the hardest work has been done.

AND make way for a brand new world.

For over 30 years I've been pushing, 
prodding and cajoling others to participate in their own lives.

For over 40 years I've also done the same for myself......

Its a new world....
and the notion of the 30 year "overnight success"
is about to become a reality.

PS, you need to take this long.
Be open to help,
Be open to receive help.

If there is but one piece of advice I can recommend.
No individual can really see themselves clearly......

Its essential to have the world share with us, their view.

It deepens our own understanding
of what gifts we bring,
and very often they are nothing like the story
we've been telling ourselves.....

Its ALWAYS better......  
Cheers to YOUR success  !!!

We Are Artists Of Life ....




We are all artists of life. Allow yourself to create the life you truly desire.
Don Miguel Ruiz

Whether as Art or Life....Its YOUR life, live it YOUR way !
You need no one's permission.
You need no special skills.
You need no money to make a choice to live a life, by design.

You simply decide. Its YOUR life
If you're waiting for "someday"
That day is NOW !

How will you live your life differently starting TODAY ?

The Six Things You Must Know













 Moon Wave ....©SianGlobal Photo

For the few past weeks 
I've been writing an inspirational article, 
placed here, shared here 
and thus,
have so shared the "ideology" of my work. 
Things I live by,
Things I love by......

This is the very essence of HOW I choose to promote my work,
and how I know to develop and promote the work of others.
For over 30 years,
these are the "bones" and  design of the very thing that works, every time,
without fail ?

Are you ready ?

Answer these six questions

Why do you do what you do ?
What motivates you to do what you do ?
What is the personal voice you want the world to hear ?
What is the professional voice you want the world to hear ?
How much is enough, per month ? per year ?
Who is your hero, what business model do you wish to emulate ?

Once you know your why, never deviate from it
Once you know what motivates you,
make sure that all of your projects are of this intent.
Once you know your personal voice ... your art will emulate it.
Your professional voice is how you bring it to the world.

How much is enough is a question for all of us.... 
in a world where there is an endless pursuit of more...
Knowing how much you need, secure that income first,
all else becomes a bonus.
And who do you most wish to emulate? Who do you admire ?

Take the time to answer these questions, without conflict.
Close your eyes, place your hands on your heart.
Ask yourself the question.
Trust the answer, 
No more than two sentences.....

Do not edit.
Then begin......

Fulfillment begins with this simple task
