Thank you for your kind words Colleen. Your revelation about people either loving your work or not reminds me of one I had back in August of ’09. It was my “Comparison Kills Creativity Campaign” I learned that the work I do does not have to look like somebody else’s, and that there are people out there who will love it, and some who may not. So be it. ( http://bladeronner.com/2009/09/02/comparison-kills-creativity-what-i-learned/ )

Thanks for sharing your heart with us.

As an artist I have always enjoyed other peoples art and believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What I love in art may not be what you love in art. The world is big enough for all to enjoy. As an artist I have no competition, for you either love my work and just have to have it in your home or you don’t. I love the quote by Steven….“individuals who have realized their own lives almost never criticize others.” When I read it my eyes filled with a knowingness. Thank you for your reminder to praise.
Bless you in your work and may 2011 be the year that you most cerianly make a fortune. Colleen

Jelousy is like when I was a kid and they said “my father can beat up your father because…”.

Along with “Anger, Procrastinating, Fear” are some of the “NEGATIVE” emotions, that if dwelled upon, don’t help us. It’s just a matter of time, that effort will meet opportunity and create more success. (A Roosevelt quote) That is if you use your time in the best way you can. Blair Witch Project was done with less equipment then most of us have.

I was surprised when you took your social media sabbatical. But then I was even more surprised when shortly afterwards I totally withdrew from all social media platforms. I was weary of the time it was taking, the increasing demands of so-called fans, and the at-a-boys grew tiresome. Jealousy? Yeah, I’m sure there’s a bit of that, too. 🙂 But I still hang out on a few blogs of people I respect. Oh, that includes this one, too 🙂

Pete. I like your point about all of us having something to say. Very true. Behind every stranger you see on the street is a story. Something we can learn from. YOU are that stranger to someone else. Share your stories, your thoughts, and your ideas with others, and you will find an audience. It may not be a Philip Bloom or Jasmine Star sized audience, but even if you change the life of just ONE person, that is powerful.

As someone who also struggles with the green eyed monster envy, I appreciate your honesty. It is sad that we sometimes get so focused on getting noticed that we miss all of the opportunities before us. We all have something to say whether it is a big splash or not really doesn’t matter. Cheers! God bless you in the new year!!!
