Been rather overwhelmed of late with large projects and my husband recovering from an accident so I have not kept up online very well. But your writing struck such a chord with me. Here I am, an artist, in an economic environment where art is frequently the first thing omitted when people tighten up. Yet our business is doing better than last year while the other galleries in town are saying nothing is happening. Part of the secret is I have been doing a variety of new projects that work in different ways, so new business has come. It has taken a lot of elbow grease, but also fun. I feel buoyant and joyful with no particular external reason to justify it, but a great enthusiasm for the new projects birthing. I think it is going to be even more fun yet! Tom,

I should have credited her for that Scanner analogy when I first wrote it. I love her book as well. CG - thanks man, I'm honored truly. That's one of the common challenges of blogging getting it all done and visiting who you want to visit. Let's just agree that our intentions are pure and we will get to it when we get to it.

I credit one of my most life-changing epiphanies with Barbara Sher's work on the "scanner" creativity/personality type. I highly recommend her book Refuse to Choose : a program for doing everything that you love. Slade Tom,

Absolutely!

I always have more than one stream of income going at the same time as well as many new projects. I like moving from interest to interest like a bee flits from flower to flower sucking the nectar, so I definitely understand the intersection of opportunity and me. However haven't you found your deep gladness by being a Renaissance man and by meeting a variety of needs? Slade that’s cool, in fact I am a variety lover as well.

My work, my talent, and my "career" are not a single thing; that Thing is a synthesis of a variety of roles and skills and labels, many of which intersect in only one way -- Me. Slade Tom,

One of the main things I was “taught” that I had to release was the “Pick One Thing and Stick to Only That” career path.

My work, my talent, and my “career” are not a single thing; that Thing is a synthesis of a variety of roles and skills and labels, many of which intersect in only one way — Me.
