    ❤❤❤❤ Thank you, Lisa❤❤❤❤❤ I am prepping to read your book “Art Inc.”!! I am working part time and take care of my elderly parent…I’m a self taught since the age of 7…^____^ Yet, as I was growing up as a budding artist Art felt more much like a “hobby” quote my family whom I am the only artist… I am now wanting to use my art and art styles to speak as well as share my stories growing up…❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you and Love your videos❤❤❤

    I am not a great artist...I asked my Art teach" why to I get as high of grades in art class as the two super good artist in class?"
    She said,
    It's because of your creative ideas ,everyone in class is waiting for what you come up with next, but the other two are great at drawing,but they never have original ideas of there own like you do.
    Many years later. I trance medium ( old Irish Gentleman) said many things and they were so correct,so when he said, your spirit Guides are telling me to tell you to keep working with your colored pencils....I was think what? I only did every craft,candels copper and bead work,ceramics
    Dream catchers, etc.
    Then at one point in life I was really broke and could not afford craft matetials...
    But I remembered my ex husband hand bought me a box of prisma colored pencils and paper from when he was an Art teacher....so I got them out. I spent many hours,up to 10 hours every day working on my own idea 's it took me 8 years and it got better and better. I actually got rid of the old stuff. I traded 11 pieces of old work. For a belt at a flea market.
    Art saved my life.
    My parents had six children....the were
    Narrasistic patents and traumatized us. Told us nothing except, sit down shut up, neglected us, went to bed hungry. My little brother and sister and I would watch Saturday cartoons eating raw oat meal,and raw potatoes....
    I have...cptsd ptsd, depression/ anxiety disorder, social anxiety,
    Bipolar 2 disorder.
    They ruined each child in different ways. Some shut down and became narrasists themselves, bit I turned up my sensitivity and learned to feel my mother's moods,just by walking past her every morning.
    I became an intuitive empath...
    My younger sister Ann, turned 50, that year and went into the woods and hanged herself in a tree. She was found by a hiker 17 hours after she died...they would not let us view her, because she hung so long it deformed her face.
    I mourned very,very deeply, for I loved her as deeply as I love my children, it took 3 years to feel normal again.
    I may actually have a disorder called complicated mourning, but I don't mourn that deeply for other family members I've lost...
    Just Ann...my Dad I did.
    It took 1 year. Yet never cried a tear for my Mother. She was really bad to me. She hated me cause I looked like my Dad...
    I have an older sister,who stays heavily medicated, and has Bern in bed or on the couch for ten years,it is crippling her body....
    So yah....Art saved my life. When I had no where, to go, no money,no friends, I turned to my art....and it kept me going. I do not like to be over medicated, and I have drug resistant depression....
    But I had art... I worked hard everyday, I am on full disability. Oh I tried to be out in the world, though I never felt fit in, still don't.
    I have five portfolios filled. But no money to do anything with it. That's why I watched your video...
    Ty
    And blessings 🙌 🙏 of white light and higher vibration 🎉🎉🎉😂

    Believe me, the art is too much pampered these days around the world. Anything too much is not good.
