And she knew it. And she kept on smiling that big fake smile, even though she also knew she might be dying. Today I happened upon a post written by an old friend who had just gone through a near-fatal bout of pneumonia. As I understand it, she had “I’m fine’d” for too long, and […]

I Had to Block An Attack on My Websites T...
I have been targeted lately by some chin*se assholes who keep asking me if I have registered some of my websites in ch*na, and that they want to do so, themselves. Even going as far as wanting to register angelatreatlyon.com. I’m thinking, wtf are they going to do with a website with MY name on […]
SLOW GROWTH IS GOOD GROWTH
Supposedly . . . As you know, I’ve been taking a highly intense, galactically-comprehensive course on the business of being an artist. Comprehensive is the biggest understatement ever!
What Do You Do to Come Back to Your Sense...
Do you ever start something and end up doing something completely and utterly radically different? I fought it, but that’s what happened today. I started out tonight intending to write a story about a disastrous sailing adventure I had when I was 15. Then I started thinking about how, in the past three or four […]
Can You Really Make Good Money with Your ...
If you are not an artist, stick around, because I’m going to show you how you can help your artist friends. If you ARE an artist – well! See what you can do! A couple months ago, I enrolled in a comprehensive 8-week art business course called Leverage Your Art, taught by 7-figure artist, Stacie […]
What Do You Do if Someone Steals Your Art...
A fellow artist asked me: You’ve sent a company your images to see if they’d like to carry your line on their products. How do you know they won’t steal your artwork and put it on their products and sell them without your knowledge? My first thought was, in that case, either the company will […]
What Makes Your Presentations So Special?
I want you to be out front, SEEN, and appreciated. Here are seven tips you can employ right now that will help you be more brilliant than you already are. Are you writing, podcasting, or delivering webinars? Amongst a million others, how are your presentations so brilliant that people remember you and your ideas for […]
Be A Fierce Bear about Your Art
You have to know the value of what you create. To me, whether it’s my visual art or my writing, it is the Divine Voice speaking with my voice and hands. Its value is incalculable. Never let anyone dissuade you from regarding your art as valuable. When my kids were little, they’d join me in […]
What Inspires You?
I was taught that “great artists wait for inspiration to come to them, and then they create.” So obviously, if I wanted to become a great artist, I needed to wait for inspiration to come. Well that’s just total BS. Smart me! I didn’t believe it. Life moves faster than that. And I don’t wait […]
I Had A Tantrum Yesterday, and It Wasn’t
Finding out I had zero choice set me on fire. I can usually put up with automated customer service, whether on the phone, or online chat. But this time? Oh my. We bought a new mattress/box-spring set from a company we found online. It was delivered, unpacked and set up; the delivery guys left; I […]
Teachers: Make Money Selling Your Lessons
Here’s something that surprised me recently – did you know you can sell your lesson plans? You can! And people pay dearly for them! You can also sell your worksheets, class exercises, reading guides, and other helpful educational resources! ARE YOU A TEACHER/INSTRUCTOR/PROFESSOR? Why teach one group of kids in school, when you can teach […]
SIGNALS that THERE’S SOMETHING GOING ON U
Recently when I was speaking with my advisor about a business and marketing plan we were creating for my coaching, I started to get really sleepy. I felt like if I didn’t lie down right now I would simply collapse on the floor in a big ole slippery puddle. I had been blazing wide awake […]
JAM the LOW FREQUENCIES with the HIGHEST ...
How we can drum in a new era of joy, peace, beauty, and love. I guess I’m still an old hippie at heart. I look at what’s going down in the world right now, and remember the 60s, and how the world looked upside down and crazy, then, too. Out of that ‘bad’ time, men’s […]
CRUNCHY YOGA & AUDIO BOOKS!
Recently I’ve been creating a 1-2-3 systems webinar for teaching authors how to make their own audio books. Why audio books, you ask? Because although it’s easy to publish kindle books on amazon, you can get your audio books onto 47 other platforms! Imagine you have one book, and you put it for sale on […]
HOW to FREE UP YOUR CREATIVE ENERGY
I was very honored to be invited to be the featured guest of the Lone Star Dowsers monthly meeting last week (July 28, 2021)! First we went into dowsing, then EFT/tapping – pretty deeply. I’ve been using dowsing for 40 years, 20+ of those years using a dowsing rod, getting pretty extraordinary results. I showed […]
IT’S NOT MY FAULT!
This is dedicated to any frustrated artist… I attended an intense marketing workshop today. It made me cry. It put me right smack dab up against the years of deep conditioning I have fought my entire life. I absolutely loved everything about it. Here’s why: I grew up in the 50s, where it was, “little […]
REAL SELF-CARE
WHAT DO YOU PUT UP WITH? Last weekend, I got a call from a man I hadn’t heard from in 20+ years. At first I was glad to hear from him. But then – He didn’t ask if it was a good time to talk. He didn’t ask how I was or anything about my […]
Stop Center-Justifying Your Text! It’s to
Do you know the sure sign of an amateur graphic designer or copywriter? It’s when they create lengthy text in a document that is center-justified. Lengthy meaning over 55 characters wide, and longer than 5 to 10 lines. Here’s an example of center-justified text: The only text that should be centered is: 1. a short […]
Time to Raise Your Prices!
Last weekend, I went down to the local art center where about 50 artists run a coop gallery so I could sign up for the Open Studios Art Tour. I was pleased to see some pretty good work there. And surprised at one painting in particular. This painting was about 11″ x 14″ – good […]
Cool Interview by Top Art Blogger! WooHoo...
Last week I had a sweet invitation to be one of the artists interviewed for artist/blogger website belonging to a gal who goes by the intriguing name of Tangerine Meg. She asked some great Qs and added a really good bunch of my artwork on the page, too (6 or 7 pieces). (Image shown: Sing […]
Are You A Photo Dork?
EMBARRASSED to BE IN PICTURES Last week I worked with “Sam,” who complained that any photograph or selfies he was in never looked “anything less than dorky.” He said that ordinarily, it wasn’t a big deal, but he had an interview coming up and didn’t want to be crossing his eyes or sticking out his […]
Happy 2017!!!
How many years have you set great goals for the new year…and ended up not doing them – and then feeling bad about it? Ugh! Me too. And not only that, but on top of not doing what I said I’d do, I felt bad about it, and then felt bad about feeling bad! How […]
Courage, Clarity & Confidence
What happens when you lack courage? You think about what you’d like to do…but then you just cave in and don’t do it, right? Repeatedly. And then you wonder why you aren’t where you want to be in your life or business. Opportunities that would allow you more freedom and prosperity flow by you every […]
I’m Back! Retiring Ain’t All It’s Cracked
Many years ago, my dad, who was a sought-after executive recruiter in New York City, retired at the age of 65. (Yup, he really did wear bow-ties – and tied them himself – none of those cheater clip on things!) At first, he loved all that time on his hands! He spent hours in his […]
Do You Know How to Use the Secret Mirror?
If you have ever felt like you just didn’t have it in you to do something (like marketing your work!), and dithered along believing that you just couldn’t do it, or didn’t want to even try – for months! years! – here’s something that will help. Recently I was turned on to Dr. Joe Vitale’s […]
What Would You Have to Believe….
I heard this question from someone and thought it was brilliant: “What would you have to believe about yourself in order to feel successful?” For me, it first brought up the question of what success meant to me. I had to define it in my own terms in order to have a relevant answer. And […]
Jondi Whitis of EFT Radio Interviews Auth...
I was interviewed by EFT Tap Fest’s Jondi Whitis last week, as to “Why You MUST Show Up.” We had a blast, talking about how critical it is right now in our human journey to speak our truths, to show up and say it like it is. With this query, Jondi made me think of […]
Why Doing What You Hate is a Life-Killer
If you have a job or are doing something right now where you spend most of your time hating what you do, this is for you. Be careful what you choose to do. Why? Because as you spend your life minutes and precious life energy on doing whatever it is, you are spending it hating! […]
“How DARE You Call Me A Dead Weight?”
I sent out an email to my list yesterday, asking people for feedback and input on issues they wanted to solve. At the end, I wrote this: “…if you’re not willing to put yourself out and do something for yourself, to invest in yourself, to take a risk, to learn something new, to get some […]
Come See Me on Spiritus, the Spiritual Ma...
AND…as if good things don’t happen alone…how cool is this? I was featured today on Spiritus, the spiritual marketing directory – a nice shorty article on my thoughts about spirituality integrated with biz. GET TO IT HERE. Are you a member of Spiritus? If you like the idea of embedding your ideas and values in […]
