| Still catching up, but this is the most recent one. More of my videos here. |
I did it! I've been postponing writing the first edition of the Spark*Letter newsletter for, I don't know, let's just say a very long time. And I'm so excited that I finally broke through my resistance that I've included an offer of a free token of appreciation for my first-at-bat subscribers, an actual care package to arrive on your doorsteps (or whatever doorsteps or PO boxes you direct me to) which will include a sample pack of my inspirational art postcards plus a one-of-a-kind hand-made thank you card for each person.

Maybe some day my list will be so big I won't be able to offer such a personalized prize, but for now the offer stands.
Or maybe I'll keep it up. Maybe the next issue will include bigger gifts. Maybe someday I'll be Oprah and Santa Claus combined, handing out cars and televisions and iPhones.
Okay, to be fair, it's not my goal to buy your love and loyalty, and we don't really need more stuff, do we? I'm just a kid with a bouquet of wilting dandelions. But what could be more precious? I'm offering my heart. And the more I give away, the richer I feel, and the more inspired I am to make something new.
Wow. I just had a vision of a weekly routine that includes a couple of hours writing and making thank you notes. How awesome would that be, to have so much to be thankful for?
It doesn't seem so far-fetched, come to think of it.
There's always more dandelions.

Your vlogs have been such a gift to me. Your willingness to share your journey with such openness has been inspirational and helped me know I am not alone. I feel like you are a friend even though we have never met. Thank you!
Thank you Janice! I can't tell you how much it means to me to hear this. It's the difference between posting my videos to be of use in the world and posting them because I'm obsessed with myself. Know what I mean?
