Running towards 2011

Being a runner now has changed and energized my life. Running gives me the opportunity to meditate on where I've gone, where I am currently, and where I would like to be in the future.

This is the time of year when I take stock of all that has happened during the year. It's been a crazy ride for me in 2010. Many highs and lows personally, artistically, and professionally. A high for me this year was participating in my first Halloween art show at "Spirits in Sanford" Florida. A low has been the lackluster sales of my artwork online, which I've partially attributed to the downturn economy.

2011 will be a year of reorganizing, restructuring, and reevaluating my business model. I will be selling more of my art exclusively through my Etsy shop, rather than on eBay auction. I've been experimenting with some new techniques in my art the past two years. I'm looking to branch out and try some different types of mediums to grow as an artist in the new year. I'm hoping trying some new things will fan my creative flame and help my sales in the future.

I have a feeling it will be awhile before the economy bounces back to where it was two years ago. I'm still hopeful that everything will work out in the long run. Onwards & upwards!

I'm running towards 2011 with a positive attitude and I will make it happen!

Blessings to all for a prosperous & happy 2011.
