I’m just about about emerging to the surface after having spent six weeks In The Fish Bowl: Life As An Artist Online with Marisa Haedike of Creative Thursday, holding onto this quote by the Persian poet and philosopher Jalal ad-Din Rumi: “Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”

It’s been six dynamic, inspiring & empowering weeks, charged with a combination of expert know-how and a passion for doing what you love to do. Organically connecting everything from pricing, to blogging and marketing with being connected to your vision and following your heart.

Thank you Marisa, for your focus on being true to your self, and thank you all of you amazing and inspiring artists who participated in the course!

      Jacqueline, I feel the same way about meeting you and hope we can continue our journeys together!

  2. I feel just the same. Haven’t yet watched the last video since I’ve been out of town (which has extended the course a bit for me, yay!) The course itself was such a wonderful experience, but I couldn’t have anticipated the lasting, meaningful connections with so many kindred spirits!

  4. I agree! I’m going through all the pages now and printing all the wonderful comments and links to resources… The last 6 weeks seemed to of just zoomed by so i hope we can take time to get to know our fellow fishes even more over the coming months and years and many more adventures await us on this creative journey. :-)
