Gabrielle Bernstein – my mentor and an amazing spiritual Guru, author and motivational speaker (You know – the one I rave about all the time) has composed this amazing vlog on the power of Eff it, Lets go! or “Screw it, Lets Do It” as Sir Richard Branson would say!! Gabby says that this mentality has pushed her to create her first business and has been the catalyst for some of her amazing career moves! By understanding FEAR as False Evidence Appearing Real (as Gabby and A Course In Miracles Says) you can JUST DO IT – Nike, or Be “Not Afraid, I was born to do this” Joan of Arc.

Whomever said it, Gabby says it in most relatable terms and mentions ME in her vlog!!!!!!

Art of fellow artist Naia Maro (NaiaMaro.com) and myself are shown off here in a beautiful story of how you need to ACT on your desires, if you have fears (as everyone does) identify them – my fear of NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH – there I said it, had me “in a headlock” and made me feel like giving my illustration as a gift to Gabrielle for inspiring me to draw again and making me feel alive through re-activating my passion, a mere drawing on paper was not good enough.  I felt like I needed to frame it, or give it with a bow or add a card to thank her for how much she has changed my life.  I just had the illustration printed out on photo paper, and the original with me. She restated in her lecture that night to identify your fear and DO IT ANY WAY! I did.  The AMAZING thing is, that if I had waited to give it to her, to frame it or wrap it till the next time I saw her when THEN it might be “Good Enough”, I would have missed the opportunity that I didn’t even know existed yet.

It was an amazing feeling, I think we both cried – She was so happy and I was so happy to give it to her!  She looked at me and said that she loved it, and that she NEEDED ART FOR HER NEW CD COVER AND TOTEBAGS!  (Which are now MADE with links below)! So watch this vlog to see the inspiration and the art!! I hope Gabby inspires you as she has me to EFF it, JUST DO IT!!!
