Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
Wayne Dyer

2022
A year of abundance!


Scarcity. Abundance. They feel like opposites but there is a great line between the two that is full of all the possibilities. How do we give up the fear that comes with a scarcity mindset. How do we live as close as possible to the idea that the universe is full of abundance. Life doesn't have to be "I win so you have to lose." I've spent a lifetime (and have a lifetime yet to go) learning that sharing doesn't create scarcity, it creates abundance. Life can be "let me help you win and then we all win!"
 
This simple stitched work in progress can fit in a small bag and come along with me. I might not have an abundance of time in my studio because of family needs, but I can do this. I can actually do a LOT of this. If I see my scraps and my ink pen and a few rolls of perle cotton as enough, I'll bet I could create miles of stitched art this year.
How can you create abundance in your art practice?
 
What do we actually need to be able to create? Is an expensive machine actually necessary? Is the largest fabric stash a requirement? We (I) get so caught up in wanting the next thing that we forget how much beauty is right here, right now. We get so caught up in seeing what other people have that we (I) forget to love what we have and what our own unique vision of the world can create.

When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.
Anthony Robbins

Don't ever forget that the art YOU create is enough.
Your message IS important.
Your work is EXACTLY what someone in this world needs.

YOU are already filled with an ABUNDANCE of gifts and vision.

Calling all Teachers!
