sunny you are amazingly talented (I remember once you posted a link to your paintings). That sounds awesome to have your own art academy. If you are not sure where to start...just focus on very small steps. Like calling a phone number. Checking out a book from the library. I recommend just start putting time into your goal. Like half an hour a day. The more time you put in, the more the way will become clear and you will learn what you need to do.

I'm also in a creative field but it's not art. I don't want to be too specific about it but I'm doing my bachelors degree right now in it. This goal definitely gives my life meaning and purpose...at times I feel like I would not be alive today if not for it.
My other hope is one day to actually be a healthy person and find a healthy man as a life partner. The father I go in the healing process the more I seem to lose hope because honestly...there are so few success stories. I know I am probably no different. All I want is to live a financially independent life with a healthy man, maybe have some friends, and be healthy emotionally, spiritually, physically, etc.

i want to live brazenly. i want to release the fear of disapproval and be who i really am! i also want to be wealthy so that i can do some rescue work on a small scale...and i want to care about myself enough to get healthy. i want to release the weight.

sunny it would be so cool if the swimming students could go into a room to do art on a different day!!! swim therapy and art therapy palace????

i think this is excellent b/c in life coaching i am learning the value of setting your intention in writing. make a vision board guys....be lofty! think big!!

sunny i was wishing i could see pics of the cars you have decorated!!

Actually Finn, that was my half-made-plan…to utilise the swimming database as they all have children who have to be amused while their siblings swim….and he hire school pools so I could maybe hire a classroom…?

As for my groovy cars…well I have had many things, I usually have a new design every year or so, you just soften the plastic with a hairdryer and peel it off, a quick wash n wax and its ready for new designs! The last one I had I had one of my paintings made into decals for my car, and put the website on too but husband decided it looked horrible on the drive and sold it for scrap! So my new car is in the process of being decorated and he can go to hell!!!
I will try n find pictures but not sure how to share.
I have a black car with white daisies all over, all sizes, I have had multi butterflies - everything!!!

My theory is that it stops them from being nicked!
I just like it!!!

I like the vision board idea….Art Buzz is my title for creative actions….and my website so Im half way there..!!!

Was awake all last night planning my future venture.
I first had this idea in college a few years ago - some how it got sidelined….

It is to have an ArtBuzz BUS! Like a converted London Red Bus.
I would strip it out and use it for a travelling art classroom and hold my workshops and exhibitions all over - I can go to special needs schools and anywhere I like.
It would give me great scope and brilliant business style!!!

You can buy an old but really useable red bus for about 8000 pounds. ( and it would give me somewhere to live if I needed to!!!
anyway…thought I would share…Im feeling excitement about it again!!!

Thought I would put an update on here…

I am making progress with my art academy.
I am still trying to find premises but I am keeping it quietly to myself until it is in place. husband keeps sticking his beak in and I feel the confidence draining so Im avoiding discussing it with him.

Im thinking of going with a domain name of BeeARTee….what do you think?!
I wanted to use ArtBuzz but so many other people have used it and it comes up on google. I want something short and positive which relates to the Bee theme so I can connect ArtBuzz to it.

Im planning on offering creative workshops for 4 - adults in the holidays to start with then weekends…
I am passionate about creativity so I am following my heart and , like the Bumble Bee, I believe we can do anything despite being told we can't! ( bumble bees shouldn't be able to fly, they are too fat!!!)

WOW!!!! this is awesome progress!!! love the buzzzzzzzz!! love the names and themes!!!

i'm making some progress too.....now that you mention it...

i'm in a course about being brazen and it's pretty good. also have a personal trainer coming to my house 2 times a week to kick my butt in the pool and i started my food plan on monday. i'm working on shifting from deprivation to abundance......

who else???

Sunny i LOVE that traveling art school idea. Omg - I hope you find a way to make that happen!

As for me I always wanted to do ballet and finally had the time and resources a couple years ago. But, whoops, waited too long. My hip joints can't comply. At least I tried.

I love to read a really good sword and sorcery novel. I want to write one. I've toyed with the idea for quite some time. Even bought a couple books on writing. I think this thread has inspired me to take another step in this direction. So tonight instead of watching tv, I'll do a little writing instead. I'm excited about it.

Great Swelsha!
GO for it!
My daughter loves those books.
Im not sure how to start with a novel, I guess you would start by writing down a chapter breakdown?! but good luck to you - creativity is awesome!

I wrote a children's book a few years ago with a view to illustrating it and getting work that way. I even got an agent….they wanted me to re-write the beginning but I didn't want to so it went no further. I felt strongly about it so stood my ground! It is called Princesses don't SNORE!!! ( It was inspired by a time I woke myself up by my own snoring lol!!!)

I will always dream of my Art Bus ! I was hoping my first lot of creative workshops do ok I can maybe fund a bus form that, I put 4 - adult but it meant to say age 4 to adult. I hope to have about 20 Art-Bees if I can get staff! ( working on that too!) Feeling brave and scared all at the same time, I have been out of it for so long!

I think I need some BRAZEN training too Finn!
