Hi ho, hi ho...

it's off to work I go, but not before listing my ever-changing suggestions for how to keep a smile on my face and song in my heart while being a working artist in this carnival world:

1. Start where you are
2. Work with what you have
3. Slow down
4. Pay attention
5. Cultivate a sense of humor and an appreciation of irony
6. Take naps
7. Drink water
8. Remember that control is an illusion
9. Be flexible
10. Show up on a regular basis
11. Add color in unexpected places

Have a great Sunday, wherever you are.
