Find Yourself Through Art

My first inspirational promotional video… I loved it!

I had an incredible experience last week.
A little backstory… Jen Riday of Vibrant Happy Women podcast is also my business Coach.

I was meant to take her business course.
The spark was already there, but her course created the structure to breathe life into my little dream.

So starting in March of this year, I did something crazy.
I began making youtube videos. And blog posts.
I don’t know what structure my “business” will take on, but I do know I am LIVING.
I feel creativity and passion for life again.

I want to do things.

Because they sound intriguing and exciting.
Not because anyone’s telling me to do anything.
And I can’t wait to discover.

I’m getting better at video, and I have a LONG way to go.

But when Jen Riday asked me to help her create a video for her launch, I got excited.
Even though I was leaving for a 5-week long cross country.
Even though I still had to pack.
Even though it didn’t make sense.

But my heart yearned to do it.
And ideas were flowing in my mind.

So I made it happen and traveled 1300 miles to record the footage of my dear friend to help tell the story of Jen’s amazing membership.
I was already planning on being there, and when I asked if i could video her family as part of this project, she was overjoyed.
I’ve photographed her over the years, but I hadn’t done video segments for a long time.

It was an incredible experience, having a seed of an idea, and nurturing it to actual fruit.
Tears came to my eyes as I edited the footage I shot, and began putting pieces in place.

I was meant to make this video.

I learned a lot, and grateful to have made this project for Jen.
She is doing some incredible things, helping so many women.
I believe in her and what she is doing.

She has a free workshop THIS WEEK!! Go sign up here.
I love the clarity she’s brought to my life, and action steps for needed change.

Here’s what I created, with a few words before and after from me.

Watercolor Art With Amber 🎨

Two images to show a major shift I had the other n Two images to show a major shift I had the other night. As parents we work really hard, and often have to deal with stressors and the heaviness of life. Sometimes the people we care most about get the crumbs of our emotional energy and attention. (Even if they’re getting our face time, we may not be fully present). I worked really hard for 2 months on some big projects (one being a 50-video beginner watercolor course!!) and my daughter wished we’d do something together. But I’m exhausted. Yet, I a few nights ago I took a breath and 5-4-3-2-1 decided to make a fun mini date before bedtime (thanks #melrobbins). We made matching hair in 2 minutes and then painted some watercolor valentines together. It really wasn’t a big deal, and didn’t take a lot of time. As she went to bed, she hugged me extra tight and told me I was such a good mom. Nice to hear, but I didn’t need her words to know I’d made the right choice, and that it really wasn’t even that hard. Something I thought I didn’t have the energy to do, was now done!! What about you… what in YOUR life are you deciding not to put off any longer? I wanna hear about it.
When was the last time you took yourself to lunch? When was the last time you took yourself to lunch? Only you, no coworkers, friends, or partners. #selfhealerssoundboard podcast mentioned this a few months ago, but I didn’t do it. It was only after feeling down for a few days after releasing my new watercolor course, that I realized I wasn’t celebrating. 50 videos with logical steps building a secure foundation is something to be proud of, but I was too burnt out to see it. Take a pause and with a birds’ eye view, what needs celebrating in your life? Maybe you cleaned a junk drawer finally, or sent a difficult text, or got recognized at work. Tell me… what will you celebrate? #selfcare #selfcoaching #celebrateyourself

You guys. I just went to Hobby Lobby to buy ribbon You guys. I just went to Hobby Lobby to buy ribbon to match bookmarks to sell at my very first vendor fair Saturday. And I found a cute new blank bullet journal for 2023. At checkout I put my bookmarks off to the side out of the way while she rang up my ribbon and journal. She turned and asked if I’d paid for the bookmarks yet. I caught a breath and beamed back, “I made those!” And she said she thought they were one of theirs. I snapped this when she turned away to remember this moment. :) :) maybe someday I’ll be in #hobbylobby but for now wish me luck Saturday!!
