Today I just want to strip down everything and start over again from scratch. And I hate the fact that sometimes your potential is held back for lack of proper finances. Let me rephrase that: most of the time your potential is held back for lack of proper finances. Everything I earn goes right back into the business… pressing on regardless.

There is so much more ahead. And in preparation of those things, you have to start living as though they are on their way. Prepare your habits (good habits) for what you’re striving for. I see it in my heart, and it’s not material, either… it’s a place of being, perhaps a place geographically, people, scents, sense. Mornings are more valuable than you think. There’s got to be a reason that almost every page you turn in Psalms it reads, “awaken the dawn.” And maybe, the doesn’t mean it in a literal sense all the time, but today, it did for me.

It’s going to be a good week in Nashville with some friends I’ve really come to know and love. The weather also is pleasing. I’ll also be meeting up with a few new potential clients and doing some good ‘ol artist swaps, too… : ) I don’t feel completely on top of the weather, but not completely under it either - somewhere in between. Hopefully it’ll shake by tonight.

We’re about to also have a full house for the next month…

and I keep saying this over and over but, it’s so true for me right now -

progress is not always forward motion. 

I think I just decided to put that in my painting somehow. I want to finish it in the next few weeks.

see you all in TN.
