This hangs by the door at the studio. Yes, it is a commission check for one penny. It is a great reminder that when things are slow, or you feel lost, or overwhelmed, or you aren’t booking, or a host of other things that make you doubt yourself or your choices or your growth as an artist, to stop and remember your why. Why did you start? Why do you do this? It is easy to get distracted. It is easy to focus on the negative. Take time to reconnect with your desire and your purpose. Take time to be grateful for how far you have come. Never forget why you started. ❤️

Huge thank you to Emmy nominated casting director, Erica Arvold, for spending Saturday afternoon working with our adult master class! Erica is such a generous, artistic soul. Having her share the studio is a wonderful reminder that we are all part of a collaborative art form. Truly amazing. And, as always, thanks to the master class for their vulnerability and sense of community. I couldn’t possibly feel more whole. I am truly grateful! ❤️ Pat
