Hello Alyson: I know this is a delayed reply, yet I just noticed it as I browsed among my posts. Please excuse me, as the box wasn't checked to receive follow up comments. What I meant by "guides," are: calendar for timing things I must do; handwritten lists and mostly, a determination to follow up the next day, when things don't go as planned. It's life, no? I learned quite awhile ago that I can't take everything so seriously or with the urgency I used to feel internally. It arrived as a realization that no one is paying me to get sick over matters which I know have solutions. That said, it meant that staying healthy IS my priority. Art is my passion and full time dedication. Yet, knowing when to break,is just as important. All the best to you, and thanks for keeping us all at our best!]]> In reply to Alyson Stanfield.

Thank you so much for you words of wisdom! Iā€™m starting over by starting to read your book right now! Hugsā€¦

Kathleen: I am sorry to hear about you mother. I suggest reframing it as an opportunity new start rather than catching up on lost time. The latter is impossible and you're almost setting yourself up for failure. You have a new opportunity to jumpstart your business. Do it with a clear conscience. Take a deep breath, thank the Universe, and dive in!]]> In reply to Kathleen Eaton.

Talk about time stealingā€¦ but it was important at the time to be there for her. Now Iā€™m playing catch-up. Can one ever catch-up on lost time? It seems that Iā€™m starting over (mentally) even though I was very focused and working diligently to follow your great advice before my unexpected family emergency. Do you have any thoughts on this?

My husband, whose the artist, bought your book because after a BFA and an MFA, he still struggles selling his art. he currently has a job because he needs to pay his student loans. This of course takes up time that he could be spending in his studio. Iā€™m reading your blog because I am a great supporter of his and want him to succeed. You and others have posted a lot of great advice and I will be sure to pass it along to him. Thank you.
Rachel
