Happy New Year!
Man, I am super excited about 2014. I can’t put my finger on it, but it just feels like 2014 is going to be a great and exciting year for creatives. There are so many people undertaking so many cool new ventures and stepping out of their comfort zone. I can’t wait to see what materializes.
I have to say, 2013 was a year of surprises. My work got picked up by T.J. Maxx. I was profiled by The Philadelphia Inquirer. And my “Fabulous Brown Girl” holiday cards sold like hotcakes. The year was not without its struggles (and the struggles were many!) but 2013 definitely affirmed that this creative pursuit of mine could lead to some wonderful opportunities.
So what will 2014 bring? I certainly have my wishes. But my only real resolution this year is to implement and execute flawlessly — that is, bring 100% of myself to the table each and every day — and stay open to what the universe has in store. You can plan and wish and hope all you want, but at the end of the day, how you execute (or not!) is all that matters. In other words:
Do the work. And your work will make a way for you.
Cheers to a New Year!
