I'm so glad the responses you got helped you in your 'winter'. (Sorry I didn't have time to give my own!). You are such a generous person and I hope you remember not to pressure yourself too much with helping others thrive. X

Pressured from the outside is crushing, but directed properly, it’s momentum! I’ll let me pull me and push me, but not crush me!

Wow! This is so inspiring. As I read it, I felt a huge swell of love for you, Adam, for Rachel, whom I haven't met but who could be a soul sister, and all the beautiful spirits who are changing the world through art. No one can adequately assess what your art is worth. How do you put a value on something priceless? So hold out, my loves, don't sell out. You are worth more than you or they know.

Keep fighting the good fight Adam! ☺️ I too am on a mission to dismantle the “struggling/starving artist” mindset 💪✍️✨

Well, I'm blubbing all over my keyboard 😭😭😭 Huge congratulations to Rachel, thanks so much for allowing Adam to tell us about your journey. I am over the moon for you!

And thank you Adam, I'm really rather glad I clicked reply on that email now 🥰 And I'll go fix some links and maybe even start putting up a bit more of my work... maybe... after this cup of tea... 😉
