I truly enjoyed your truth telling in story and illustration. 

Rejection has been a story of my life, (the details are not appropriate to tell here) and my artwork seems to have a mind of its own as I do not control the outcome. Even when I set out to paint something pretty and even have an image that is beautiful as inspiration, my inner psychology wins every time.

I have worked under many bosses who spoon feed rejection over even minor things just so they can try to get a response. 

I moved to a 1 bedroom apartment and created an art studio in the living room space. However, I have been too tired in dealing with the my spoon feeding boss of disrespect, debasement and ignoring even yelling. 

I yearn to have the energy to create art but I have been too tired after work for the past 5 years.

 

On Monday, I decided to get a new job in the same company on a different team one hall way away from my current office. 

I was officially hired Friday and will be giving my notice to the spoon feeder as soon as HR gives me the word that things are in order.

 

All this to say, your class topic is perfect timing for me as I shift the self-feelings of fear in working my two weeks with a helmet on. 

But you, and your teaching style has truly touched my heart and frame of reference that I am going to push this sting of dread that is sitting in my stomach as I write this confidently and breathing a sense of relief at the same time.

 

I want to thank you so much,

 

I am working on a skill share class in slow process at the moment but to say you are over the top in the aspects of presentation, creating meaning and relevance and shooting the video and all that goes into that, incredibly well.

 

Oh, and the video your wife shared with you and you shared with us is right on and so visually meaningful.

 

Blessings,
