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

Live What You LOVE ...


It is this ... and only this....that inspires your patrons to want YOUR work.....

Yes it may match the couch, but the patron has always and will always buy because of YOU....
and because your philosophy and purpose inspires them......always....

A little story to share.....

If you ask me what I love MOST, I just love being around horses.....
and ever since I was a little girl.......and as long as I can remember.....

if there were a horse that passed my view, I HAD to stop, 
go over and give it a pet, give it a carrot, give it some attention....
Just to gaze into the big brown eyes of a being
so willing to blend with my humanity
always.....

Most think to own horses costs an arm and a leg....... 
To SHOW horses costs ALOT,
but to enjoy horses its really not more expensive
than a few hundred a month if your horses are fed properly and are healthy.......

So when this is the thing you LOVE the most, people often think that they can never "make money" owning horses ......or make money at any of the things that YOU love to do, like being an artist.


I took to task to prove that "idea" wrong some years ago and bought horses that had been abused ..... "righted" them through Natural Horsemanship and thus, made sure each found very good homes..... with people who loved them and were willing to pay a much higher fee for a horse that was gentled.....and made a nice return on the nominal investment ( some of these horses I would acquire for little or no money or for as little as $1.00 )

I did not know HOW to do this, and sought the help of colleagues and friends who showed me the ropes......

Now I can't imagine my life again without horses.....
There is a way to generate an income doing absolutely ANYTHING you love .....

Ask me how ? ~ I made money in the three biggest black holes people generally think won't work, ART, Horses and Boats..... What YOU love is not beyond my scope to creatively assist YOU to rethink how you LIVE......

If you LIVE what you love.... you'll smile daily !!!!
And that is a LIFE worth living ~

PS.. this does not require building an email list ..... EVER

My love of horses has led to my most recent business endeavor....
Being 57, my body is a bit sore after riding so I needed a program that
would help me soothe, limber and strengthen my muscles.....

Team Beach Body is the biggest no brainer of a GREAT little online business that I LOVE ... 

The products I love, the people I love, and the RESET is something that, quite frankly is revolutionary......

Please let me know if there is anything that YOU want to be MORE fit for.....
I especially love that Shakeology has a magic elixer called MACA root, which enlivens one's 57 year old libido....


Anything that you love, and need can become a revenue division to your company, 
and benefit you in the process....

Artists so often limit themselves to selling the ART only

Sell the LIFE.....

Its the life of the artist in which your patron finds intrigue.......
Show them,
Teach them......

and best of all......LIVE what you LOVE.....
and emulate love.....


It is indeed the only thing we truly need.
And it is one of the only things we actually really want
