In November of 2007 I gathered a lot of friends and fans of my work together and announced that I was retiring from the business of being in business. I thought this was a very snappy phrase and although it may have perked the ears of those gathered, no one really knew what I meant.
So, for the sake of clarity...this is what I meant. I meant that I now approach a day in the Artist's Way, which is to say that I show up to create that which asks to be created. My lovely little studio is a playful, whimsical and FUN environment in which to create in and when I am there, I know that my purpose is to create beauty and serve the needs of those who find themselves at the door of such an enchanting little place.
My choice also meant no longer playing by the rules of retail. No more credit cards, no more making choices based on revenue and profit and loss and checking account balances and energy wasted in the worry over money. This has been so freeing for me. I show up and listen to my heart and play with color and meditate on the essence of grace and gratitude that brought me this far.
For these gifts and blessings, I am deeply grateful!
