I agree. I’m wanting a theme, maybe something to do with a social justice issue. Ruminating……

Marsh: Oh no! I hate hearing that you were going to give it up. Use our community that you’re a part of to keep up the momentum. xoxo

Laura: I love this as a start, but my suggestion is to make it about more than numbers. Who else could you involve?

Alyson,
Why is your timing always so perfect? I was ready to give it up on July 2. Formerly, I had declared when I started ABS that I would do all I can to use my art to contribute a % of my sales to St. Jude Childtrn’s Hospital to help save the lives of children with cancer. As a former Hospice Nurse, this has been my burden for years.

My artist daughter and family visited us from Seattle on July 3rd while I was in the ‘pits”. She went through my portfolios and scolded me to get back to painting the abstract art I was always successful at. So, I am taking on this challenge to get back that former art quality I had, and to keep my eyes on my goal to help babies who are suffering from cancer treatment. Thank you for that prompt Alyson, and also to my Su for shaking me to wake up and ‘do the work’.

Patricia, I cared for my mother for eight years too, from early stage to very advanced Alzheimer’s. I took a year off from my job near the end, but “made time” to do some art a few days a week. It was my outlet to do something for “me”. Now that she’s gone, I think I’m a stronger person. You never know how strong you are until you have to be. Good thoughts to you!
