Oh lady i SOOOO feel you!!!
I go through this terrible ups and downs, drowning in too many options and not nearly enough to fit my art into! And end up feeling like i'm in a ball pit and can't get out! I start too many things, get overwhelmed and then evacuate!

Keep your head up though lady! Your art is SUPERIOR!! Seriously. You are SO talented. I know once you get your butt going and in gear the right direction, opportunities will come!! I have faith in you!!!

If you ever need an accountability partner let me know!!

Your MATS friend,

I'm IN! Right with you! Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid.

May I suggest Jan that you already are IN, you seem to me to always be IN.

It's my experience that those feelings of not being IN or being OUT are just the feelings that are there to remind you how much you LOVE being IN. Much like the idea if you never feel SADNESS how would you recognize JOY ?

Have you read or listened to anything by Anne Lamott ? She is my new HERO, youtube has many fantastic book chats in which she talks about the ongoing, never ending, struggle of the creative spirit + she's very successful & funny as all get out. I listen to her talks on youtube over and over again - she soothes me and comforts those demons (we all have them). I am beginning to truly believe no matter how much "success" we might achieve, no matter how productive & prolific we become, that carrot dangling in front of us is a continually moving target - the secret is about managing those demons of feeling OUT of it because they will never go away completely.

Rock On You !! much love from far away Nova Scotia
