Sell Your Art, Without Shame

I watched my two young kids have their first experience with monetizing their art and I walked away with one conclusion.  Art deserves to be celebrated, sold and reciprocated (financially). I haven’t always felt this way.  I’ve wrestled with the question of what art is worth. Or rather, I’ve fel…

Stop Doubting Your Brilliance

You are brilliant.  You don’t think you are, but you are.  The exact way that you move through the world, that you love others, that you dress, that you speak, that you take care of people, that you create and make and dance and laugh is magical and needed and utterly irreplaceable. The problem …
