Hey there, Reader! I want to share some surprising news regarding the polls from last week's newsletter before I dive into the content of this week's newsletter. In a nutshell, I asked my audience if you're interested in reading or watching content that documents my journey of creative recovery as I do The Artist's Way program. And a whopping 80.5% voted yes!

You don't need to compare yourself to anyone else. Take your time. Art is not a race, and there is no finish line to cross. Practice makes progress....

So grab a cup of tea, coffee, or your favourite beverage of choice, and get cozy. Imagine yourself sitting by a warm campfire as I share with you my story of transforming creative burnout into personal empowerment....

I relate to you...

So while I create new video content (new YouTube videos are in the works!), I've decided to share with you some fun watercolour tutorials to inspire you to paint something new...
