You deserve to be here.

Your art matters.

You are good at what you do.

You work hard, really hard.

You care; you love this job.

You’re on the right path. Enjoy the process!

Imagine if we repeatedly said these words to ourselves as much as the negative self-talk.

Imagine if we said two positives for every negative; how light would our heart feel?

Imagine if we believe we're on the right path, and with each movement forward, no matter how tiny, we trust the process.

It takes a long time to get to where we want to go. There are days, weeks, months where we do the work and feel like we are getting nowhere.

You are doing the work, doing the work, doing the work. There's little or no movement to the naked eye.

Suddenly you gain a little traction, then a little more. And then there's a burst, and you feel like you're flying.

You didn't give up.

You've stayed in the arena, did the hard work, and trusted it would happen. You believed in yourself!

Believe you are the artist you long to be, and you are slowly walking towards her. She's patiently waiting for you.
