Speaking of 10,000 hours…that was from Malcolm Gladwell’s book, “The Outliers”. A great read and one that every artist was quoting from when it came out.

Thanks Michal, I’ve often wondered where that statement came from

A few years ago I read a wonderful book called “Your Beautiful Purpose” by Susie Larson.  It is coming from a Christian premise so may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it helped me to come out of a numb place back into a sense that I have been born for a purpose – which includes Art!  I unearthed a reflective, illustrated book of my own that had been on the cusp of being published 10 years ago and decided to self-publish. My book Abraham’s Stars was officially launched a month ago. The first thing I did was send one to Susie Larson to thank her for her inspiration and she sent me a lovely note in return!

Wow, that is quite amazing. Good for you. I always think writing and art go hand in hand.

Thanks Michal.  Also, amazing story about the Mercy Ships. I am working out in my mind a way of balancing response to things that just happen in life and not worrying about the money aspect and on the other hand making a business strategy that is very clear on that. I know I need to consider more of the latter – I guess that’s why I am on this course!
