I will die on this hill.
Annie Sanchez dreamer, artist, unconventional life coach, business strategist Did someone forward this to you? Subscribe to this newsletter. Hi Reader, I've been sending emails about The Emerging Artist Retreat in New Mexico I'm hosting in August. Two things I want to make clear: Your nagging desire to "be more creative" makes this retreat a perfect place for you. If you're coming back to your art after a long time, this retreat is perfect for you. Maybe you went to art school 30 years ago,...
Impossible.
Annie Sanchez dreamer, artist, unconventional life coach, business strategist Did someone forward this to you? Subscribe to this newsletter. Hello Reader, What's something you want to do that seems absolutely impossible? Really out of reach. Maybe lack of money, time or skills prevent you from being able to do it. Maybe it's just so wild and out there, you can't imagine it being possible. Spend 20 minutes writing a plan for your impossible idea. Describe it in as much detail as you can. List...
To endure.
Annie Sanchez dreamer, artist, unconventional life coach, business strategist To endure is to sustain over time. To withstand what's difficult. To hang on. To last. To persist. Being able to hang on through what's difficult doesn't mean we come out undamaged, or scot free (as Grandma Becky would say), rather we have suffered, been impacted and definitely changed. For whatever you've endured, you've resisted what could break you, lasted when you didn't think you would, withstood what seemed...
Fighter stance.
Annie Sanchez dreamer, artist, unconventional life coach, business strategist Last night Matt said to me, "Good job today," to which I responded, "What did I do?" He pointed out how I activated people I know around bad news impacting our community. By now you probably know that I'm pursuing my BFA. The College of Fine Arts I'm in is part of The University of New Mexico. The day before yesterday UNM sent a quiet email about policies that are being updated and public comment being open until...
The things we do to ourselves.
Annie Sanchez dreamer, artist, unconventional life coach, business strategist How are you getting in your own way? Maybe you are overthinking. Maybe you keep procrastinating. Maybe you are trying to get it "perfect" first. Maybe you are trying to figure it out on your own. What could you do to get out of your way? Maybe you can ask for help, a referral, an intro, advice. Maybe you can share the messy version as a draft and get input. Maybe you can just do it, half-baked, not perfect, a little...
Good news.
Annie Sanchez dreamer, artist, unconventional life coach, business strategist Shit is wild and crazy in ways unlike any time we've lived through. Though I imagine this fascist, genocidal, American-driven global situation feels eerily similar to those of the early and mid 20th century. Our access to what's happening literally everywhere all the time paired with astounding amounts of money being moved and terrible decisions being made at everyone's expense but those with the most money is...
Noticing when you do that thing.
Annie Sanchez dreamer, artist, unconventional life coach, business strategist Ohmygoodness. Okay, so you know when you make a decision about something and it means you're gonna start doing things differently? Maybe it takes a tiny tweak or larger effort — but the decision requires you to make a change in some way. And you do. You start doing things differently. You're moving along feeling good about the shifts. Then something happens and you start to backslide. A day or two go by and you...
Banging my head against the wall.
Annie Sanchez dreamer, artist, unconventional life coach, business strategist Good morning, I started writing Monday morning, but after about 200 words I started resisting so I decided to revisit in the afternoon and send in real time vs. scheduling. I usually write in the morning (right now) and schedule for the afternoon so you can read when I imagine 150ish words on hope and life will feel like a welcome reprieve. I'd been writing about the morning Moon hanging out outside my window. Last...
