This year I’m posting three times per month: WORDS on the 3rd, PICTURES on the 13th, and
SOUND on the 23rd. This is my third installment of SOUND,
and Episode 2 of the Accidental Muralist Podcast.

Even THIS Dark Cloud Has a Silver Lining

Your life has most surely been disrupted during the Covid-19 pandemic. Without making light of the serious medical threats, I’m here today to highlight an opportunity.

It’s called “Someday” and it has arrived, all of a sudden.

As in:
Someday I‘ll take up painting again, when I have more time.
Someday I want to learn to play guitar, but right now I’m too busy.
Someday I’ll start writing a memoir, as soon as my schedule allows it.
[insert your “someday” plans here] [and your qualifying excuse here]

Chances are that you’re one of the millions of people who’ve been given the bizarre and unasked for gift of MORE TIME. No more commute to work. Perhaps no more work. Life as you knew it has been put on hold.

Let’s harness this moment.

Episode 2 of the Accidental Muralist Podcast is about navigating your Someday. See, I’ve been there. I’ve transitioned from “here’s my normal life as a teacher/wife/mother” to my someday dream of being a professional artist and entrepreneurial role model for my kids (which is my new normal). What I struggled to learn along my 30-year journey to Someday, I’m passing along to YOU in three important steps.

It’s not a “3 Quick-and-Easy Steps to Your Dream Job” kind of offering, cause that doesn’t exist in the real world. It’s more like a 3-sectioned toolkit for meeting the obstacles you’ll be faced with on the road to making your art—or to making your art a more central part of your life. Which is what your Soul has been asking for.

In the episode, i refer to a previous blogpost that discusses the conflict between art and business/capitalism. You can read that here.

With love from a safe distance,
