Lovely sentiments my friends! We, artists, are at best, an enviable bunch of humans. We have been blessed with unique gifts. What comes with our creativity, I have learned, is sensitivity to beauty, to touch, to sights and sounds. We tend to be tactile. We experience the physical world with a sensitivity to it's beauties. Who could want for more!!!

When we work, it is not drudgery (well, not always). We can look forward to times of being in the glorious zone. Much like meditation, we are free from our struggles, our minds calm down, as does our blood pressure and heart rate. Often we are swept away with beautiful music to keep our mind occupied so that inspiration has full reign.

Our customers can be so much fun, and the happiness es we bring can be exquisitely pleasurable for all.

Never mind your finances, your health problems, or relationship challenges, life challenges. These experiences are universal, and are visited on every human being. But the mystery, the beauty, the magic which comes from creating something beautiful out of nothing, well that, is unique to those lucky enough to be artists (musicians, actors, writers, etc).

May you all have a blessed new year with prosperity and the creative challenge you have dreamed of!!

God Bless
Patty
