Deb,
Even if it is a small thing, if it has meaning, it can be huge. We’ll have to come up with a word for that. There’s a sparkle in the eye that goes with it, isn’t there? I think it goes way back to fire sharing. Here here’s a spark from mine, take it to keep yourself warm…there’s a kindred spiritness in it that warms everyone involved more than once. Very essential that.

The favorite part of my work? Helping people bring their dreams to life. Nothing gives me more satisfaction at the end of the day to know that I helped someone achieve a lifelong goal, or even a small short term goal. Or just a goal.

Whether it’s a full on site or something as simple as a small ad for a new ebook, there’s a feeling I can’t put words to. Accomplishment? Well being? Generosity? Benevolence? Love?

Meh, the right word escapes me at the moment. At any rate, it feels damned good.

Happy Epiphany,

right now I am having a mad love affair with my work so its easy to see the joy in all of it. I’ll have to get back to you in six months when it becomes more of a “job” if it does. Somehow I doubt it. I think all my stars have aligned and the goals I have been working toward fell into place.

Still the areas of droll discipline come into play even in the most passionate of jobs, so I will join you in trying to hold on to the joy of even those!

PB-We should do endless mad excesses of only the very best of chocolates and palate and palette satiating things we can possibly find during season…and counter them with very wise balancing things. It is horribly hard to work when parades are marching a block from the front door. Here in Texas, we will have be our own parade and march endless lovely work through our studios… while having said chocolates I do believe. I am counting only rhythms to make drawings by at the moment. And possible squishes we can make with paint. LOL
