Your words have inspired me today. For a while I’ve known that being an artist means being true to myself and my art. It’s one thing to get that idea and quite another thing to put it into practice. Thanks for the encouragement!

Yes! I subscribe to the idea that it takes 10,000 hours to become a master (from Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers) - or using resonance terminology - to find your vibe. [By the way, have you read The Uncontrollability of the World or Resonance by Hartmut Rosa?] I have found that starting out by imitating others you admire is a tried and true method and after getting comfortable with the basics you start to experiment outside the accepted norms. I also had an insight on Sunday that if you find the thing that you love to do - you light up and become impassioned. People are attracted to that passion and want to be near you just to catch some of the Light that emanates through you. We are each a unique creation of God and to live into the fullness of life we need to find our special way to shine. You don't want to be like everyone else - so you are going to have to do something different. You have to be you!
