Just a short note today. We're in the middle of packing up our house to go to live and work 'on the road' for a while. Just in time for that - my new website is up! It's been a long time coming and is not perfect -...
"Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand, wer ist die Schönste im ganzen Land?” Or in English: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" Ah, the power of folk tales. They are not just there to entertain children - they have meaning for all ages. 'Snow White'...
Just read a blog post from an artist on 'how to show up and sell your art'.
Which is mainly about how to connect with other people - and while there is a longing for it, there is also a fear.
This is not just a question for artists - it's for anybody who wants to sell products and services.
For a start I think art is so much more than painting, sculpting or writing poems.
Everything we do from the heart that contributes to the beauty and wellbeing of the planet and its inhabitants is, in my eyes, art.
But I digress.
The longing for connection - and at the same time being afraid of it - is valid for all participating in the 'art' of living.
So, how do we connect and communicate with other people when there is this fear stopping us?
A strange thing happened to me the other day.
I got a call from a health practitioner. She was closing her practice - as of now.
This news was a bit of a shock to the system.
Had weekly bookings with her for the next 6 weeks, to help heal an injured shoulder.
The practitioner had been sick for over a week - and, when recovered took time to reassess her situation.
She concluded that some of her family members needed her help, even more than her clients did.
