Unless you switch it up! 

I must admit.  At almost the one year mark, I finally feel like I've mastered my collage workshop.  I've been loving it and I'm getting a little bored with myself.  OOPS!  Do you ever get bored with the things you love to do the most?  I think it's a common problem.  We think of some great idea.  We do it.  Then once we've mastered it we say, "Whatever, that wasn't such a big deal.  What's the next thing?"  I have a habit of mastering and moving on, mastering and moving on, mastering and moving on...

The trick to keeping anything fresh and exciting for yourself is not to run away and find the next shiny thing, it's to make the thing you have even better!  It's an opportunity to be CREATIVE!

Soooooo, I'm switching things up people!  My next collage workshop is THIS SUNDAY and I'm ready to do something different!  Wanna come?  Instead of focusing on the theme Transforming Your Shadow ... I'm going to throw you a Lifeline!   What is a lifeline you ask?  It's your life desires combined with a concrete timeline with actionable steps to get there.   We will focus on the three steps of COLLAGE, CALENDAR, AND CREATION. 

That's right, we will not only create a collage to get clear about what you want, we will also plot out a timeline with actionable steps for making it all real!  I'm super excited about this, I hope you are too. 

Please RSVP (it helps keep me excited when I know you're interested :).

Life can feel a bit like training for a circus...

I used to think circus performers were just naturally talented and could do all those tricks since childhood and never really had to work at gracefully performing those epic feats...

Some people make life look so easy!

Well, I grew up and being in the artist community I started meeting some circus performers and actually here's the secret...it's really hard and takes a lot of time, it's scary, and they get hurt, they have to learn to trust others, build strength, stay disciplined, and then maybe, at the end of it all, they get the most fulfilling thing in the world...recognition!  After being part of a theater performance for the past 3 years there is nothing better than working hard on something, pushing your edges, and then having an audiance give you all the love back.  

It's INTENSE!  Just like real life. 

You too can have your standing ovation...keep focused on your dream, do the work and get help doing it!

Here's where you can practice your circus skills right here in Santa Cruz...
My friend Paige will teach you how!

Have you been feeling the intensity lately?  Try this: 

1) Identify what is freaking you out. (ex. I have too much to do and too little time!)  2) Observe your thoughts and stories around the situation. (ex. I can't get anything done, I'm totally overwhelmed!)  3) What are you making it mean about you that this situation is happening? (ex. I'm so lame!)  4) Really listen to that voice that's making it mean something personal.  (ex.  Wow, I really have a lot of thoughts that I'm lame.  This feeling of overwhelm is super uncomfortable.) 5) Keep self soothing, these are the first steps to helping the feelings transform. 

If you can identify it, it can transform.  Ahhhhhhhhh....

Of course, I'm always happy to help you through these tough times, call me at 831-419-8338
