I was just gonna post the video above for today’s post–but I’ve received so much kindness this week, so I felt like I needed to also say thank you to some people who’ve made me incredibly happy and grateful.
Thank you to Mayi Carles for the adorable package you sent!
Yesterday, the postal woman came to the back door and handed me a package. I racked my brain as I signed the slip, trying to figure out what I had ordered. Then, I realized it was a package from Mayi–something I hadn’t ordered. In a frenzy of excitement, I tore it open to find a customized stack of to-do bookmarks, a pencil, and a super sweet note. And, the whole thing was wrapped A-DOR-ABLY. Yes, I had to break down the word adorably to emphasize it, because it was that sweet. I took some pictures to share with you guys, because I just couldn’t help myself:
Thank you Mayi for making my day–and being such a good friend!
Thank you to my lovely consulting client for sending me a handwritten note.
I’m not gonna name you–because I’m not sure if you’d want me to–but you know who you are. Thank you so much for taking the time to send me a handwritten thank you note after our consulting session. It totally made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave thoughtful comments on Wednesday’s blog post.
I was amazed by how many people were touched by that post. I haven’t responded to all of the comments, but I want you to know that I read and appreciate every single comment. I’m going to try to reply to as many as I can, but this weekend is going to be a full one. I’m going out of town for my nephew’s second birthday!!!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend–and let’s help Rose out. If you have a way to keep your creative juices flowing that I didn’t mention, leave it in the comments below!
Julia Cameron’s book is fantastic and so the is the advice to “just do it.” When I’m working with kids I always tell them – it’s okay to make a mistake and it’s okay not to love everything you do – but you won’t know what’s beyond the mistake if aren’t willing to make it. By the way – I often have to remind myself that too.
OHHHH MY GOSHHHHHHHH – You’ve officially made me the happiest women alive today! I’m beyond excited that you loved the little gift I sent you. It’s honestly the least I could do after all the zillion things you’ve done to support my business + make me feel special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your lovin’!!!!
Thank you so much for your tips and advice April! I just wanted to say that I LOVE READING YOUR BLOG (yes, that needed to be capitalized to express my enthusiasm over your wealth of information!) I have found the information you share incredibly motivating and so helpful. It’s really changed my thought process in how I am building my creative business.
Thank you for answering that questions and thank you for all of your wisdom and insight.
Happy Friday!
April! I have to agree with these folks…after your success symposium on Etsy I walked away from my computer and immediately wrote in mly journal “Take Action Every Day Consistently” and I’ve started minimizing my to do list to 6 items a day as well. I got so so so much out of the free hour of your time. I truly wish I could afford Artrepeneur but it’s just beyond our budget right now so I have to wait as much as iti’s killing me. But believe me I’m gleaning every bit of info I can get on your blog posts everyday and hopefully a miracle will happen and I can sign up for Artrepeneur. You’re inspiring and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You’re welcome, April! And thank YOU for all your wonderful advice. I got so excited, I’ve already implemented like 80% of it.
i do that date thing, never thought of it that way, but whenever I feel drained and unmotivated i just go outside for a little walk and suddenly hundred of ideas pop into my head, i dont know why but it works!
