…how you think something in your mind…you get an idea…you wonder if it will work…you have one supporter cheering you on…you put that idea into motion and…it actually worked.
I never wanted to be an artist. I wanted to be a teacher and a horsewoman. Neither panned out for me. I did art as a kid and teen to escape the silence. But now…later in life…my art has been working for me. Not all of it sells but some does. I have tried art galleries. I have tried Facebook groups. Some have worked out; some have not. But…I still keep trying. I still keep creating.
We are in an age that..the creatives need to get back to creating. ALL things are created from a thought. Some people scoff at that statement but it is true. The laptop I am typing on? Someone had a thought and worked towards creating it. The paper you use to write notes on? Someone had a thought and created the paper. Every material item you touch was a thought in someones head. Some people will even say that all living beings were a thought of God. And they may be true. Or they may not. Who knows? Does it REALLY matter? Just create! By creating, you are nurturing the right side of your brain and that side of your brain needs to be developed. I don’t see how we will have a decent planet if we each do not develop and stimulate our right side of the brain. We, as a planet, shall remain stagnant if we do not.
Since going down the art rabbit hole this year, I have sold many items. I am happy that I sold them. I have also gathered a hand full of people who are repeat buyers. This is such a crazy thought to me but it is true. So…I must be doing something right for people to like my art enough to buy even more of it.
The end of 2025 is fast approaching. I still have a month or so to continue creating art. That was my goal this year…to focus on my art and my writing. I have worked on both, so I did accomplish my goal. I am wondering what I shall focus on for 2026? I have a place to sell my art and that is going good…so maybe I shall spend 2026 focusing on my writing. I have a few more stories to write about for my book. Then I sorta need to invest in a new computer so that I can type it out and convert it to pdf and then…publish it. I do not know if I am going to publish it through KDP or if I am going to use a different print on demand group. I do spend time researching what others are using. I am not focused on it being a best seller or any of that nonsense. It isn’t about the money…though extra income would help…but it is more about touching people. Did one of my stories help someone be stronger? Did one of my stories help someone resolve an old issue and they can walk away from it now? That is my goal. In that line of thinking, if only one person bought my book and it helped them…then I reached my goal. See…the thing about helping people? We just need to reach out and focus on those within arms reach…can you help them? If you can and do, then you did what you were supposed to do. In turn, maybe they will be strong enough to help someone standing next to them. If EACH of us focus on helping those within arms reach, then we will create a web covering this planet and it will be a much better place to live.
2026 is near….for the Earths sake…get out there and create!
