Glad you are here and made it through 2025. The world was a very interesting place to say the least no matter what politics, religion, age, race, and any other demographic box you want to place yourself into. Interesting is a strong word and about all I can say.
Resolution For A New Year
As the year wraps up, it’s time for artists to think about new years resolutions and goals. As an artist myself – as well as a gallerist, I started thinking a lot about this for our fellow artists and creators. It made me think about how much we as people look at the new year as a fresh start for our lives, careers and so many other things including creativity whether you are a career artist or just like to make art.
We think about wanting to do better, we think about how we can grow, we think about how we can get to the next level and a whole host of things that we think will bring us closer to who we are and want to be. We think about changing our mindset, maybe breaking away from old habits and so many other things.
It’s a great time of reflection.
There is nothing wrong with goals, resolutions, and the addition and removal of things from your life, but it doesn’t just have to be today, December 31, 2025.
It can be any day.
You can start over, you can remove something, you can make a boundary, you can start a new project, you can do whatever you wish to do and start or stop it right this very second at any time of the year.
I also like to ponder:
What if everything is okay?
What if there is nothing wrong with you?
What if there is nothing really huge and crazy significant to change in your life but to just keep on the journey and to keep swimming and keep being the best you.
The best you is really right now.
Being The Best you. Yes, Really….
In all the flaws, the weaknesses, the challenges, the health struggles, the failures, the mistakes and mess-ups we all make as human beings. And you are the best you for getting up every day and trying to just live in this world.
It is not easy to live in this world. We love, we lose, we get hurt, we laugh, we cry, we feel defeated, we feel on top of the world.
What if just today you took time to look at what you are, who you are, what you have done and just be proud. You don’t have to wake up tomorrow with lofty goals (but you can) and you don’t have to wake up tomorrow a new you (but you can) and you can just be you.
What if you could just be and being was fine.
The best resolution and goal is the one that is right for you, that is true. And those goals and resolutions can change by the minute, by the hour, by the day, by the month or year.
You are fluid, you are ever-changing, growing and are a beautiful metamorphosis of self.
But what if for today, right now, everything was okay. Everything is okay.
We have a thing for oversharing...
New artist interviews, articles, books and more!
