Hello Positive Principle People,


When I received Max's congratulatory message for being cast, I was excited and then quite nervous. I applied to the show because I needed something to help me expand. Now that I'm officially on the show (thank you Max and Polly), I will have to step up to do the things that have been obstacles for a long time.


I get intimidated by people with the power to open doors for me. Spiritually, I feel that my artwork is more powerful than art world gatekeepers, and yet I haven't found the magic combination to open those doors here in the physical world.


Life is such a big mystery, isn't it? I wonder what I haven't been able to overcome and why. We are mysteries to ourselves, yet we have an inner compass pointing us towards what our lives could be like.


Over the past few weeks, through Max's Money May program, I started paying more attention to shadow beliefs. These are beliefs that sabotage you, but are hidden in your subconscious. I'm looking forward to uncovering these with Max's help.


In these days leading up to the show's premiere, I've been feeling lots of mixed emotions. To be honest, I felt afraid to continue with the show. I actually have to put my money where my mouth is! On the other hand, if I hold myself accountable, I just might live my dreams!


Although I'm afraid to face my shadow beliefs, I know that the rest of my life can't keep waiting.


Here are some of the photos that I'd like to display at an art show. Although they don't look like traditional pictures, they are indeed photographs. I made them using multiple exposure and a Polaroid camera. They are a love letter to color and light.


I hope you enjoy them!


Much love,
Joan
