Years ago a friend and business woman told me to " be seen, be heard and be remembered". I have a sticky note on my computer to remind me everyday. 

Do something to be be seen. Show people how you work, where you work and why you work.

Do something to be heard. Support a non-profit- by donation of time, money and social support. Let the world know where you stand. Share your art with the world.

Do something to be remembered. Go out of your way to help someone in need. Share your knowledge with others. Be an example for others.

It does not take much and the feelings and reward you get back is amazing.

So this weekend... be seen, be heard and be remembered!
​

How do you honor your weekends? Do you have any rituals?

I love my weekends. My studio is open on Saturdays, so my weekend is Saturday night through Monday. I honor the weekend by do house chores Thursday or Friday, like cleaning, doing laundry, etc. I do not want to do any chores on the days off.

On Saturday I bake something yummy for breakfast Sunday and Monday- a treat for myself. Plus it makes the house smell good! 

I organize my home studio on Friday afternoon so I can work in the studio all day Sunday and Monday. I also clear off the work bench in my stained glass studio downtown and vacuum and clean the bathrooms so when we open on Wednesday it is all set to go.

I take time to read a little to unwind and I do journal to brain dump the past and plan for the future.

Of course Fred and I go for longer more frequent walks, good for both of us.

What are your weekend rituals? 

​

I am always rearranging my desk and trying to keep it clear. Do you ever have that problem? I have stacks of papers to file, to read, to figure out what to do with them. Then one day it is clear? How? I just sit down and work through it until it is done.

There is hope. I hope that I have a clear desk every day.

Here is a photo of my desk right now, hardly any papers on it. I knew you would be jealous of my office assistants- Flora, Sean and Wesley!

Have a fabulous Friday and weekend!
