The sunday post is a weekly collection of links to things that have caught my eye around the interwebs. It’s intended to inspire, inform, and engage with you on everything from current events, to business, art, or crafting. You can find past Sunday Post entries here.
science and van gogh – how van gogh’s “starry night” is a visual depiction of a phenomena that scientists are just beginning to understand. This. Is awesome. No further comment.
why I won’t work for publicity by diydoyenne – while I don’t care for t he negative tone of this article, I totally get it. And until bloggers, artists, photographers, designers and other creatives decide collectively that this is a truth that we need to live by, there will continue to be those that attempt to take advantage of our time and talent.
7 pieces of wisdom that will change the way you work on 99u – oh, man. This is so true. I have read and re-read Stephen Pressfield’s book. It’s one of the best out there. Almost like the essential personal guide to being an freelance artist – he covers all of the aspects of the mental preparation and discipline. When I find myself slipping, I pick up his book. This article sites Stephen Pressfield’s book, and offers wisdom from several others. So good.
Riptide by Vance Joy – I heard this song on the radio yesterday and immediately had to look it up. It’s just happy. And fun.
This dress from Anthropologie – I’m starting to think about what to wear for the holidays, and this one caught my eye. I can see it with my black tights and glitter toms. Done. And comfy.
Have a lovely weekend!

Hi There!
Thank you for linking up to my post! I am sorry if it felt negative to you, as that was not my intent. I am a pied piper of positivity and empowerment, not a Negative Nellie. Standing up for myself and doing so with a little moxie and chutzpah and a few juicy expletives is not about feeling or being negative, it is about taking back my power and in the process encouraging others who may be feeling the same pressures and obstacles to do the same. One can be resolute and even a little edgy about it without being negative! I think women in general get uncomfortable with standing up for themselves. We make a lot of excuses and apologies. I am at an age where I no longer feel compelled to sugar coat everything, but that doesn’t mean I am a glass half full kind of person. I am a choose joy kind of person and the last line of my post should make that clear, because we are all worthy of being treated with respect!
Cheers
Madge

Hi, Madge! Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post! I absolutely agree that whatever you need to do to get the respect for yourself is warranted! I’m happy you’ve found your voice and are able to do just that. Seriously – I know exactly what you’re talking about, having worked in the crafting industry for many years. No more working for free. Enjoy your day, and keep up the fab work! ^_^
