I take my time to process feelings, it’s been 2 weeks since I picked up my last things from Parklane Gallery and it coincided with collecting what I had at the lovely Grounded Above the Clouds art boutique.  The bags full of art, prints, and small gifts are still leaning against my desk.  Now what?

Avoiding only lasts so long. So, I finally grabbed my hand-written inventory list and checked things off.  Giving time and space to all feelings as icky as it feels, makes moving on easier.  At first, I thought of all I could have done differently, but then I thought about the lessons I learned.  

3 big lessons:

·         Put your heart into all you do Cristina!– be proud of your work.  If you love it, it works.  If you don’t figure out why.

·         Observe, ask, learn, and commit – give it a merited effort because the resources and beautiful people to lend you a hand will show up. 

·         Evaluate the journey traveled – celebrate, is what you are doing taking you closer or further from where you want to go?

Thank you Parklane Gallery for the growing opportunities for hosting amazing ideas on your walls, and for standing strong through difficult times.  Best of luck Grounded Above the Clouds, I hope your dreams become a reality despite having to close your doors.

Taking stock periodically is a habit I am aiming to build.  Give these questions a try and see what comes up for you

·         What felt really good this Summer?

·         What challenge have I overcome?

·         What kind of impact did I make?
