As some of you may know, I am a big believer in the power of an affirmation and have an affirmation journal that I write in when I can and have started posting my favorites on my fridge and next to my bed so I see them often.For some reason, about a month ago, I was drawn to an book on my shelf that a friend gave me about 5 years ago called, Holy Moly Maceroli, about a woman and her card making buisness. One of my favorite books.
I opened it up to a page with an affirmation from the artist Janet Ghio. She posted this affirmation that she had written while doing The Artists Way, a great book which helped me creatively very much in my life.
I loved her words and wanted to post it here. I have really never thought of myself as making a living as an artist. Sounds weird but I never has really said the words, "I make my living as an artist. " I have been using her words lately and a funny thing has happened. I have been selling more work little by little and have been given more opportunities for my work that I never have thought of before.
I would love you guys to have this and post it on your blogs if you like, I think these words are very powerful. For me, the one thing I want in my life is to make a living as an artist so I will be thinking that way from now on!
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! I have my booth at the Art Faire in San Juan Capistrano tomorrow and will be taking the rest of the weekend off, so I will see you Tuesday!
Hugs,
Michelle :)

What a beautiful affirmation. I have never claimed to be an artist, but maybe I should start thinking like one. Thanks for sharing this wonderful sentiment. Good luck at the Art Faire.

I have read on the beneficial effects of positive affirmation. In fact, aside from posting and reading positive affirmations boosting my confidence,I also read several lines telling me that I feel fine(especially after ordering antidepmeds at www.OrderDrugs.ca). due to my depression my confidence has been flagging lately, but because of my belief in positive affirmation, I am able to cope better with my moods now.
Wow how applicable is this!!???
thank you for sharing- I have just popped a note on my blog about your quote and a link to your blogspot- hope thats ok??
