Rejection is not a means to an end

Today I received a rejection via email. But I took it well, I gave thanks that I was notified and didn't have to wonder for weeks whether or not I was one of the artist chosen. It is so disheartening to apply for a 'call for artist' and never hear anything one way or the other. I must say I have grown in many ways and I don't take the rejections personal any more, I just release it and move forward. I know how we all have some horror stories of our many, many rejections to the point of letting it reduce us to tears-I have been there and never want to go there again. Now I give thanks that that is in the pass, and I give my energy to the letters of 'congratulations' and the possibilities of what creatively lies around the corner. For every door that closes, hopefully a window opens.

Spirit work

I see spirit as my deep, inexhaustible power source. But sometimes life become so consumed by the demands of the day that I forget to tap into it. But by creating art it allows me to escape into a realm of relaxation that allows me to connect back with my power source at a moments notice.

Find your source of relaxation and don't forget to tap into it daily.
