Welcome friend!

Hi, I'm Darlene and I love gardening, peonies, painting, sewing and good cup of tea with a friend. This is my space to share with you my passion for teaching, encouraging and helping others realize their goals. Sprinkled throughout, you will find my love for floral inspired watercolor & pattern design. Read More…

Even when we feel like we have nothing to say we still have a lot to say.

Sometimes we speak through our work, our art, our presence.

Being present with my creativity is such a blessing.

Being present with others has the same joy.

I would love to walk along side you as you dream and envision your future business.

Aren't we all searching for that Secret Recipe that gets us from point A to point B so much faster?⁠
⁠
Well, I am not sure about you but I am going a little crazy with all of the "get rich quick with your business" ads on IG and FB. ⁠
⁠
And true story, I have bought into a few courses (after I listened to them for a while and found them to be trust worthy) but not one has been the magic pill or secret sauce for me.⁠
⁠
I often think, mmmmh what am I missing? ⁠
⁠
If I am honest with myself I certainly have changed my focus a few times and confused my audience I am sure.⁠
⁠
I also have struggled with having to "solve my readers' problem" - that is extremely hard especially as an artist you just want to create.⁠
⁠
So, this is to encourage you. I see you struggling to make it work, to make it happen to make it all seem worth it. I do, I hear you and I see you. I am one of you.⁠
⁠
Don't give up, remain true to your calling and put in the time and energy needed for the long haul. That my friend, is the secret sauce.⁠

It's Friday and I'm struggling to get going.⁠
⁠
I really NEED to complete my surface pattern collection portfolio. But it is so much easier to sew.⁠
⁠
But once I finish, I get to present my work to future "employers" who I will be able to have a contract with - for me to make patterns for them!⁠
⁠
Sounds fabulous right?⁠
⁠
I am a bit hesitant as the work right now is very tedious and time consuming. ⁠
⁠
And scary to think of rejection...and success.⁠
⁠
But I am very proud of it.⁠
⁠
⬇️Can you relate to the fear of failure and success?⁠⬇️

Create space...⁠
⁠
actual physical space for your creativity⁠
⁠
and for mental space and dedicated time.⁠

Create space to sit and think, dream, journal, listen and grow.

What would those areas look like for you?
⁠
Also, having dedicated areas of a room for different processes is important. ⁠
⁠
Keep separate your "business" and your "creativity" space.⁠
⁠
The more you give importance to your creative space, the more organized and productive you will be.⁠
⁠
What does your physical, mental and time space look like?⁠

What lights you up?⁠
⁠
What gets you excited to get out of bed in the morning?⁠
⁠
For me it is two things (there are many more but these are the ones today);⁠
⁠
1) Helping women⁠ gain confidence and achieve their goals
⁠
2) Sewing⁠
⁠
Can you create an income around your passions?⁠
⁠
YES!!⁠

"Bloom where you are planted"⁠ ⁠ Quick story -

"Bloom where you are planted"⁠
⁠
Quick story - Yesterday I was so discouraged (for multiple reasons) that I had a rough day (and ate a huge chocolate bar🍫). ⁠
⁠
I was down on myself and went as far as to question whether or not this "coaching thing" was a good idea.⁠
⁠
Well, this am I had my first scheduled coaching call.⁠
⁠
I was so excited and invigorated for this client during and after our call.⁠
⁠
I know now that this is the right direction for me - to help women 40+ discover and step into their dream goal. ⁠
⁠
Remember and hold onto those feelings and thoughts when you feel like you are right where you need to be. You will need them when you have a day like I did yesterday.⁠
⁠
This is your calling and your purpose.⁠
