In 2 ½ weeks I head out to Golden, CO to attend Alyson Stanfield’s Art Biz Breakthrough and I have to admit I’m a bit like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning to arrive. This is really the first thing I’ve done for myself all year so I’m turning the trip into a mini-vacation. Colorado is one of my favorite places on the planet to spend time so I’m really looking forward to getting back there. It’s been far too long. Not only am I looking forward to the trip but I’m really looking forward to the retreat also. Three entire days to focus on my art business and network with other artists who are working on their businesses is just what I need now that I have my marketing foundation in place. And the timing couldn’t be better. My corporate travel is done for 2016 and once I get back from the event, I start to burn off the vacation days that I need to use or lose before the end of the year. So that means more time to work on my own endless list of projects. And maybe, hopefully, finally, finish Firebird. She’s been on the loom far too long.
