The winds- and the gifts of change


This has truly been a year of change. 
Most years are filled with ups and downs and adventure but this one has been about the gifts change can bring. Sometimes we are forced to change, sometimes we seek it out and other times it comes in with the wind, and gifts come into your life. This year has brought my beautiful grandaughter Sophia and the joy she has brought is all encompassing.
My relationship with DEMDACO is another gift - a change that I wished for and it came true! Now 2014 looks like it will also be filled with a theme of change and reinvention. I am open and ready to create positive changes in my own life also be a positive force for possibility and change.

I'm on Another Big Adventure- this one with DEMDACO!


I have always been up for change and big adventure- and I am experiencing one of those right now! I am here at the headquarters for DEMDACO this week for their National Sales Meeting and yesterday gave a speech to 140 people in their organization. It went very well- everyone was inspired by my story which is all I could hope for. Everyone from the president to my product development team have been amazing and are treating me very well- how fun this is! I am learning so much about how successful licensing products can be for an artists. My wishes, which of course I placed in my own Wishnest- are coming true.
Be sure to wish well and wish often!!
