Weekly Aspirations

Posting everyday for the month of February was a great way to stay focused and look back on how my business has changed or stayed the same over the decades.  

This list has been a very enjoyable part of my week especially interviewing artists, the weekly pokes at what is important or needs to be attended to and that even the smallest of life's details truly matters.

"I love the way a list makes a big hodgepodge of things simmer down and behave."
