Welcome to The Art of Optimism!
I'm passing along big-as-the-sky love to you as supportive ideas, over-the-top optimism and encouraging art straight from my heart.
Encouragement is how we show love.  I hope you pass your own version of encouragement on too!
The Encouragement Cafe is now open on Etsy - art to inspire the spirit!
Recipe From the Encouragement Cafe:
1. Listen carefully to what your heart tells you. You and only you are responsible for your life.
2. Cultivate wisdom from your previous life experiences. What has worked well for you? What has been a disaster? Most importantly, what have you learned?
3. Through reflection, quiet, journaling, research, and conversation with others, develop a clear image of your dream.
4. Become aware of the attitudes and beliefs that support or limit your actions. Challenge limiting beliefs.
5. Surround yourself with a nurturing and encouraging network of friends. Share your dreams with them.
6. Cultivate experiences that move you closer to your goals.
7. Maintain an open attitude that allows the unexpected to support you in achieving your dream.
8. Look for the hidden treasure in failure and setbacks.
9. Never give up.
10. Pass encouragement on.
​This is your journey. Make the most of it.
