Happy New Year! & My 3 words for 2017

I want to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous New Year!  May love, happiness, health and good fortune be the trademark of this year for you!



I am not starting any brand new things this year... instead, I feel that I will be approaching the different aspects of my life in a new way.  I am excited and ready to begin.

Chris Brogan is the owner of a company named Owner Media Group. Simply put, he helps business owners grow their businesses.  I follow his blog, so I read his advice from time to time.  One of his annual traditions is to choose 3 words to guide him through the coming year.  You can read more about it here.  I decided to choose 3 words to guide me in my coming year.  I have tried to do this in the past, and just couldn't come up with anything concrete to guide me. This year, the words were almost written before I thought of them!  Below are my 3 words and how I hope they will guide me.

1.Broaden:  I hope to broaden the scope of where my artwork is seen, and by whom.  I also hope to broaden the things my family and me do together, broaden the time we spend together and broaden our bond.

2. Connect:  I hope to make more and better connections with art collectors using social media, my newsletter, and simply through getting out there and talking about my art.  I also hope to connect with my family more often and more meaningfully. 

3. Consistency: I will be more consistent with my schedule - when I paint, when I spend time on the business side of things, when I spend time with my family.  I wish to declutter my schedule of the nonsense and unimportant things to leave room for me to consistently connect and broaden all of my relationships.
