I said no.
Twice.
And not just to anything.
To the offer that every artist in town waits years to receive.
The old me? She would’ve said yes without blinking. Obligation ran the show.
If the offer was shiny, prestigious, or felt like “proof” I was good enough, I was all in—no matter the cost.
But the new me?
The one obsessed with just two things?
She knows better.
One of those obsessions is my soul—call it spirit, God, inner being, whatever you like. It’s that relationship that taught me how to say no.
To mean it. And to trust that the right yes would come from within—not from a gallery invite, a headline, or someone else’s stamp of approval.
The second obsession?
You.
I’m obsessed with the idea that you have more to discover about yourself—no matter how buried, blocked, or forgotten it may feel.
That’s why I show up every day: to stir the pot, light the path, and offer tools to help you build your own stellar relationship with your soul. I know with every fiber of my being the best is yet to come. I know it because I live it.
That’s what helped me say no when most would’ve said yes.
And wow, did it pay off.
Here’s the short version:
🎨 The top gallery in town invited me to a solo show.
📦 They wanted 18 pieces. Amd a committment a full year in advance
🚫 No sales allowed beforehand. Just wait, hope, and maybe get paid later. I was to make art for this show, not sell it and be grateful for the opportunity.
Old me would’ve been flattered.
New me knew that “yes” would’ve cost me everything.
✨ My momentum
✨ My income
✨ My freedom
So I walked away.
And then? I sold three paintings online—from my own studio.
In my socks.
While that gallery hosted their black-tie fundraiser which depended upon artists like me to donate their art for the silent auction.
That’s when I felt most like myself.
I didn’t need permission. And neither do you.

If you’ve been second-guessing your instincts...
If you’re done waiting, but not sure what’s next...
