In Nashville, kids go back to school Friday and my favorite time of year is around the corner–Fall! This is MY new year. This is when I make my resolutions, reestablish a schedule, set new goals, lay out my calendar and make some change happen!

I wanted to share a key to my ability to get so much done consistently. I use the Principles of Design as a guide, just as artists do when they are creating. They are CONTRAST . UNITY . BALANCE . PROPORTION . HARMONY . REPETITION . RHYTHM . EMPHASIS. The way I remember them all? The acronym: Can You Be Prepared to Harness Really Radical Energy?
Your Artist Within understands intuitively these design principles. I can tell you for me this fall the ones that are jumping out are Harmony (because I am going to picture myself easily floating with the current), EMPHASIS (because I am going to focus on my book and its readers and how I can help them the most), and RHYTHM (because I am going to have a schedule that allows me time for each element of my life).
FIRST, admit to yourself right now that your life IS a piece of art and YOU are the artist! Every action is a brush stroke, each experience a color….Make it a masterpiece! ~Whitney
