Asbellarts Marketing 101

Hey performing artists!  Need to find a gig?  Get over your sweet self.  Start small. Face book it, Youtube it, volunteer... if you're good soon you will be choosing which opportunities to decline from.

Sounds like good advice, huh?

That is unless you are a ceramic artist.

Don't waste your time

Invest in your career, not someone elses.

Wednesday's Grace Notes

Wednesday's Grace Notes

Hearing a red tail hawk in my backyard,   not needing to eat just to fill an emotional void because it is already filled with happiness... where is Nancy and where did you put her?  painful experiences and telling God "I may never forget this pain" and He patiently says "I hope you never do"....  Hey!  I'm a very busy person!  But God keeps meddling with my time anyway!   CRAVING Sonic hamburgers and onion rings and thankful that I no longer own a car,  Can you believe that Dunken Donuts tweeted me yesterday to say that they are following me?  Is there no justice in the world?  Writing down so many Grace Notes that it is now my journal ( You are welcome... you really do not need to hear all that I have to "share" and hearing the automatic sprinklers turn on.

Happy December First!  Let the festivus begin!  No wait, I already started... my medical supplies came! My medical supplies came!  I am thankful for my power wheelchair, independence,  baking cookies and then, um, eating them... a cold brisk sunny day, knowing that God's time is not my time. remembering people's birthdays, and finding a pen and paper when I need one.

Sunday's Grace Notes

Sunday's Grace Notes

Having "church" at Publix... a nice lady said today "you must be a Christian.  Your happy face just glows"...  go Jesus!  Seeing the funny side of things,  thinking big,  feathering my nest... I love feathers,  remembering how I used to love being able to iron,  the eye drops for my glaucoma that make my eyelashes long,  having too many things to be thankful for to post in one day.

Thoughts that pop into my head like "my life is so rich",  16 Christmas CD's from the library... maybe a bit of an over do?  Nah!  Smiling at myself,  knowing that with out gratitude my heart remains closed, Saturday morning garage sales, meeting friends and saying YES to life!

Thursdays Grace Notes

Thursdays Grace Note

Celebrating today... tomorrow can take care of itself,  learning that it would take $20,000.00 to save my house... good to know where I stand,  going from stolen identity, sabotaged business, near death 2 1/2 month hospitalization this past summer to where I am today... and being a victor and not a victim, bratwurst with cranberry relish and honey mustard, clean blankets, towels and sheets,  a totally overhauled and organized kitchen pantry and donating 15 cans of canned peas and unadorned Christmas trees... sometimes, like us, they look better that way.

Tuesday's Grace Notes

Tuesday's Grace Notes

Learning to lean on other peoples faith as well as my own,  my comfy and familiar neon green lounger w/ the hoodie and embroidered beach chairs and blinging w/ sequins,  drawing pen and ink pet portraits while watching Christmas movies,  putting my feet up because they are too swollen to walk... hence the pet portraits, helping myself before I call on others, my new Whole Living magazine subscription,  and brushing my teeth.

Saturday's Grace Notes

Sweater weather in Florida, taking the risk of trusting others and asking for help, not fast forwarding the DVR and watching the Christmas commercials, the sanctuary within me, Florida Horizons pen and inks, an open easel, a hot shower  and  the gentle  nuances of gray.

Friday's Grace Notes

Friday's Grace Notes

An attitude of gratitude,  being able to see the alarm clock and hear it,  getting to clean a house,  having a dishwasher to empty,  watching the dappled light dance through the trees,  having the honor of being an Army Wife for 29 years,  selling large paintings,  seeing old friends and clicking on spellcheck and having nothing to correct.

Sunday's Grace Notes

Sunday's Grace Notes

A hot cup of French roast coffee in one hand and petting the dog with the other, abiding....,  baking "Drunken Jamaican Brownies" on a cold and blustery day, not saying " I can't" and going to the Internet to fix the stove or have dog food delivered to the house if I can't get it myself, independence... it's a wonderful thing, a day full of art ahead of me... no lessons on Sunday's and the sound of a running dishwasher.

Watching more movies by myself... along with popcorn of course! living within the hours of today, biscuits and honey, not completing everything on my to do list, my new non "mom jeans", playing O Holy night this morning with my voice student, and connecting with those I love.

Friday's Grace Notes

"I'm going to make my life a miracle!", the cold sting of the wind as it blows across a lake, sleeping so soundly that I barely have to make my bed, my old Sheltie coming in to take a shower with me... too cute, "why worry when I can pray?" and wickedly curly ornamental fall gourds.

Thursday's Grace Notes

Thursday's Grace Notes

Not being afraid of getting out of the boat and walk on water... as long as I don't have to wear a bathing suit, exercising more and sleeping better, losing more weight by eating more... fresh fruits and vegetables and protein, Wayne Dyers book "Excuses Be Gone!", turquoise blue and chocolate brown, shipping paintings directly from my home, and November 3, 2011...

Tuesday's Grace Notes

Trying to learn to live in the moment... a moment at a time, egg nog coffee creamer.. yoo! hoo!, losing 5 lbs., selling art as fast as I can paint... is that cool or what?, remembering the fishy smell of goldfish flake food... better yet, how about a new box of crayons?, thanking God... it keeps me busy, keeping my potted plants alive and God keeping ME alive to joyfully experience another November.
