Day 8 – Traveling “art studio”

For the next 4 days, my luxurious hotel room will be my “art studio”. What you don’t see in this pic, however, is that my Mac laptop has already crashed 4 times in the last 20 minutes. This will make any kind of art this morning, and this trip, more challenging.  Looks like I’m going to be searching for an … Keep reading…

Day 7 – Doing art on the road

I just realized that for the first 6 days of my 30 day 5 a.m commitment, I was sleeping in my own bed each night, with complete control over how each day would evolve. TODAY I move to the other schedule I’ve set up for this 30 day challenge, the one where I wake up in a hotel room, have … Keep reading…

Day 6 – Up at 5am on a Sunday?

Well this could be a first, waking at 4:50am on a Sunday. But a commitment is a commitment. So weird writing here each morning, not knowing if anyone will ever read these words, but I do this for  me, to keep my feet to the fire, to show up for what I most love to … Keep reading…

Day 5 – LOVING morning ritual

Amazing but true, I woke up at 4:50 am WITHOUT an alarm. This new ritual appears to be taking hold.  Totally excited about how much I’m getting done by following a structured schedule. I simply love that my morning ritual is keeping me focused on my priorities, art and the business of art. I even love being a little … Keep reading…

Day 4 – 249 Likes on Facebook!

I’m so tired this morning after only sleeping 3 hours the night before, not to mention a full day of Thanksgiving festivities, including eating two Thanksgiving dinners at two different homes, plus cocktails and appetiziers at a third. What an amazing holiday full of community and love. Hit the snooze button twice, but still got out of bed by … Keep reading…

Day 3 – Not resisting monkey brain

Happiest of Thanksgivings to all my art loving friends! I’m actually enjoying this new routine of the alarm going off at 4:50am every morning.  Knowing that I’m getting up to do art feels amazing.  Like I’ve got my priorities in complete harmony with my highest good. However, at 1:30am THIS morning I woke with “monkey brain”, thinking … Keep reading…

Day 2 – No more excuses

Here I am, Day 2, keeping with my 5am commitment, and in the studio by 6:30. As you can see I’ve made it much earlier. Being held accountable to myself, and this blog, is making all the difference with following through with my intention. I MUST find time to create art – NO more excuses for why I don’t do … Keep reading…

Day 1- Up at 5am begins today!

My daily ritual has now begun in earnest.  No more saying that I get up at 5am, but in reality its more like 6:30 or 7:00 am.  I’m testing out a new theory – set my alarm for 4:50am, providing the luxury of hitting the snooze button once.  For some reason, that simple extra 10 minutes made getting … Keep reading…

New website – New art filled life

Today is the day – my bright and shiny new website launches!  Scrolling through each of its beautiful pages make my heart sing with joy. The picture below is of my previous website (as of yesterday), which kept my dormant art dream alive, especially important during the years when I couldn’t find the time to create. This site served me … Keep reading…
