Currently I am working on: a collection of paintings I will make into prints opening an Etsy shop to sell the prints re-vamping my blog or starting a new one all together, connecting the shop and what I am all about making time to focus on my other jobs (in addition to my full time work in the retail world) intuitive consulting practice (a whole other project in and of itself) and event planning (working on a destination Mexico wedding in spring 10 & a reception/ comedy roast of the wedding couple in July 10, here in Portland, Oregon.) After reading your words, I am both inspired and overwhelmed. I can see exactly what I need to do to begin achieving the visions bit by bit in regards to each goal. I get so much going on in my head sometimes while getting super excited about it all - that I lose sight of the starting point and end up choosing procrastination over pro-action. Wow. Look at that... I got all wordy on you. :) Thanks for reading, keep up with the writing and sharing of your wisdom! It's so appreciated in my world :) Warmly, Paula So as an artist in recovery and painting again after a 10 year hiatus, and with many goals on a long list of to-do’s- your post is a great, big deep breath reminding me that it’s all about the baby steps that lead to the grown-up plan.
