YES - Always remember what you're searching for

I was at an inspirational and informative conference for artists of all varieties yesterday, set at the Centaur Theatre in Old Montreal--a beautiful venue!

It was the YES conference in Montreal, Quebec.

I came away from the day-long event with the profound and unshakeable feeling that art is life and life is art.

The lessons that the panelists wanted all of us artists to remember and apply to our professional lives, could just as easily be applied to all facets of our personal lives as well:


  • Always remember what you're searching for, don't just give people what they want.
  • There's always a market for what you do. Never forget this!
  • Do it yourself. DIY.
  • Talent isn't enough, you also need drive.
  • Remember to have fun!

Great advice for any life endeavour professional or otherwise.

Peace and love to you all,

Jacqueline
