The Art of Dramatic Living

We’re working towards something here. We’re perfecting our craft. We’re evolving as our art is evolving. We’re sharing our beauty and our wisdom with those who long for it and…we are allowing ourselves to receive the intangible and tangible rewards that this sharing returns to us.

I am the first to admit a failure to value my abilities, but every day I am also opening myself to the possibility that what I have to share is valuable. My goal is to allow myself to be supported by doing what I love and by offering that love to others.

This week I was looking for examples of creative people who have taken what they love doing and have found a way to share their love with the world. Creative business owners and entrepreneurs who have allowed themselves to be rewarded spiritually and financially for their contributions to this wild and amazing world.

Since the acting class is launching this weekend, I’ve thought a lot about right livelihood for artists and creatives.

I love teaching and sharing with other people when I feel I have something to offer. In spite of this, the class isn’t full. I’m barely gonna scrape by to recover my studio expenses which means I need to craft a bigger vision.

So the sites I searched this week have to do with business and marketing and independent living. They have to do with creating a living by doing the work you love. And some of them are focused on the transition from being an employee to owning your own business.
