I’m kind of glad January is almost over. It’s not that it hasn’t been amazing and fabulous. It’s just been…a lot. A lot of scary. A whole helluva lot of stretching. Stretching past fear, past self-imposed limitations, past my ideas of what is possible or not. On December 24th, in “The Crisis is Over” I [...]

How To Fail Miserably At Selling Art (or anything else)
November 24, 2010 – 7:16 am
Do you know what is a really effective way to completely screw yourself over when launching 31 new pieces of art and hoping to raise $18,000 to study in Europe? To be far too terrified to properly tell anyone about it. I’ll be honest – self promotion makes me want to throw up. I would [...]
You cannot hate yourself into happiness.
November 15, 2010 – 10:13 am
Now that I’ve finished the application to study in France, there’s suddenly a lot of empty space in my head. And since nature abhors a vacuum, it’s being filled with the clamoring of things that wish to be healed. You’ll recall that I took September off on retreat and that was good. It helped me [...]
I am a very little fish.
November 9, 2010 – 7:24 am
So when I decided to apply to the program in France, I decided to complete 6 mind-blowingly awesome paintings to send with my scholarship application. I thought, I’m going to apply all of the knowledge I’ve ever learned into these 6 pieces, and they are going to be amazing and then they’ll just have to [...]
Symbolism, Sieges & Sneak Peaks
November 3, 2010 – 8:35 am
I’ve been having a hard time the past few days. It’ seems to be hitting me in phases that I could be spending 3 months in France next year. Doing this, applying for this program – it’s hard creatively, but more than anything, it’s doing my head in. This is a big goal. This is [...]
Missing: Confidence
August 13, 2009 – 7:44 am
If found, please return to Sarah Marie Lacy, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. No, seriously. Somewhere, between finishing the show and moving to PEI, my confidence seems to have misplaced itself temporarily. Maybe I forgot to pack it? I was never exactly Janice Dickinson when it came to confidence, but I wasn’t hiding under the covers [...]
I'm messed up! It's amazing!
May 19, 2009 – 7:57 am
I woke up this morning absolutely fed up. For the past 3 years, I’ve been reading self help books and books on personal development, and books on abundance and the Law of Attraction and spirituality and god only knows what else. I’ve listened to courses, I’ve read blog posts, I’ve gone to webinars. I’ve done/tried/read/heard [...]
Who I am.
March 10, 2009 – 10:44 am
I have spent the last 3 years trying to fix myself, trying to become someone else. I’ll love myself when I’m not broken, I always told myself. If I could just fix this pattern, or get over that fear, or be strong or whatever, then I could love myself and I’d be happy. I’d be [...]
I'm dropping the shoulds
January 29, 2009 – 8:20 am
That’s right. For the next month, I am giving myself total permission to drop every single should I have. And permission to do exactly as I please, day in and day out, until the first of March. I am hereby dropping the following shoulds: – That I “should” be marketing -That I “should” be writing [...]
