The other day on Social Media, I posted the following note and image:

The launch is officially in motion now, and I’m so thrilled and excited to be doing it. I’m also terrified and human. Tonight, I’m plagued with the notions that no one sees my work. Worse, no one wants it. And there’s no lonelier place than an artist without an audience. Tonight, I can either give up or I can get real. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone. But I know what I would tell others; it’s okay not to be okay. Thanks for listening friends!

Feeling down and worn down, I needed a break. But not a break from art. Just a break from the launch to refocus upon my center. In a joke, my sister asked for a mashup of Venom and Hei Hei (from Moana).

When the feeling of being worthless becomes overwhelming, it’s imperative to take the focus off myself. My greatest joy in life, is bringing joy to others! Her reaction to my mashup sketch let me know that it was definitely the right thing to do. And really, my best art comes when I’m doing things for others. She purchased a glass frame for the piece, and made her own matt for it to sit upon. She’s so crafty! And I love it so much, that I was inspired to share this story and this image with you all.

Remember, anytime your heart feels weighted down, it’s time to give what you need the most. It will come back to you greater than you can imagine!
