I am very fortunate because I have the opportunity to meet so many artists in my daily life. One whom I've met several times over many years is Tonya Davidson. Tonya runs a small store, just like I do, and she is an artist who also wants to establish her own personal identity away from her store, just like I do. She's younger than I am, and very pretty, and sharp as a tack. It's always a joy to learn something from her, even if it is something that I don't want to take to my personal life. Today she gave me a great gift - a word.
Tonya posts a blog http://tonyadavidson.com/ (not regularly, but perhaps that will now improve). On that blog she makes commentary and personal/business growth ideas and methodology. I subscribed to her blog many months ago in the hopes that reading her suggestions might help my store and my personal business grow. Her postings have been irregular, even non-existant. But over the past few days, she's been posting like crazy. And it's been goo. Today she posted about resolutions. How making New Year's Resolutions usually lead to failure, but that she read about making a resolution for a word of the year instead of a list of resolutions. She read about this on another blog by Christine Kane http://christinekane.com/blog/resolution-revolution-a-better-way-to-start-your-year/ . She resolved to use the word consistency (perhaps that is why she has been posting more often). I seem to have that word fully anchored in my life. But I know what I need.
PATIENCE
So, my goal is Patience. My word is Patience. I seem to have no problem addressing this in my art, but in my daily life?.....Well, let's just say it needs a bit of work. What word will you choose? Check out Christine's list, maybe add a few of your own, and choose one to conquer in '09.
