Seth's Antidote to Anxiety

http://www.typepad.com/services/trackback/6a00d83451b31569e20191047737f4970c

I am beholden to a favorite guru, Seth Godin, who sent this into my emailbox this morning.

Last night I wrote to one of my original collectors, telling her of my day today.  

My day today is all about putting my art out to sell this evening at a First Friday Art Walk inmy old hometown, Issaquah Washington.

My friend, the collector wrote a fan letter to me from her hospital bed in AZ.  "You've got grit," she said.    This was such a good thing for her to write, especially in these days of getting tired often, resting often, then doing the old "yo ho heave ho" stuff of getting ready for a street show.

Anxiety?  Yes. Always.  Even when I was doing a regular small town expo every week during the summer. The heavy lifting a distraction, but there was always that question:  will they like it enough to buy it?  

Here we go again.   I am trying to write myself a fan letter:  Starts with "Susan, you've got grit."     

love,
