No Regrets

Recently, I came to the realization that my 50th birthday was less than a few months away, and I've completely stagnated (mostly at work but somewhat in life also). Coinciding with this realization was a series of what seem to be cosmically-related events:

  • My path crossed with several people I greatly admire who are working as artists. They've encouraged me to consider doing the same - that I "have what it takes."
  • I've been welcomed into a group of self-employed creatives - artists, designers, writers, musicians - who share information, tips, help and support on their work and business at  Morning Inspiration 1

Great blog --- and sometimes you can't think about all the cons & just go with the cons. A slight leap of faith ! Love the prints, of course.

You are fortunate to have the luxury of making this decision. Many people rely on that steady paycheck and CAN'T follow their dreams. It IS a scary venture nonetheless: the giving (selling?) a lilttle piece of you with every creation is significant !!

What you can always count on is that you will have the support of friends and family along the way. And, if for some reason, this particular Path of Life does not take you where you want to go, it would not be difficult for you to get back into the corporate world (kicking and screaming, of course).

You have options !!! Take advantage of each and every one of them until you find what works for YOU.... :-)

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
