It took me many years to allow myself to call myself an artist. One of the things I have learned along the way (which you appear to have down in spades) is to be able to play and not take being an artist too seriously. It is a joyful way of expressing myself and not drudgery so being willing to play with ideas helps to keep the ideas flowing too.
Thank you soooooo very much for sharing your spirit and inspire us.

Laura,
Thank you for the simple, yet so immediately usable tips here.
I particularly like the tip on creating a practice. As a yoga teacher and practitioner, commitment to practice is so grounding and nourishing.
love it all!

When you said — “honor that idea by doing something with it” — I never thought of an idea in that way, as being honored. I will now though. It’s a great way to motivate action!
Thanks, Laura…

I remember when I first owned it and began calling myself an artist. It was so uncomfortable! Now it feels like the truest thing in my Life.

Laura,
I had not considered myself an artist or even a very creative person until I took the time to look at what I actually had created. By listening to what really mattered to my clients, I created three workshops. And I love your tips!
