    News flash, You’re Never going to feel “Good Enough”

    This project is called North Point, these are hotel/condo/retail mixed-use projects. This is a master planning model of the entire site and surrounding city.

    I did this work back in 2003 when I spent the post 9 11 recession as a professional architectural model maker – that’s hand-built work for the young folks.

    Unfortunately, due to carelessness on my part caused by a lack of self-worth, I did not record any details about the project. 

    Funny right? 

    How our self-worth shows up in little ways, like devaluing our work so much that we fail to show it to ANYONE or to even document the details of such work. 


    It might sound hard to believe…
    Maybe, if this is your first time here, you’re thinking “yeah right! I can smell the fake modesty a mile away!” If not, then maybe looking at my work causes you to question “did she REALLY” make this?! Yes, I did.

    There’s so little I have documented through the years due to not seeing my worth, not wanting to be a show-off, feeling that if I did I  was “attention-seeking” which also meant I was bad.

     I force myself to dig up what little bits I can find and share those works now.

    Honestly – It’s the SCARIEST thing to me!

    The fear of being seen or drawing attention to myself is a “survival fear” that tells me “don’t ever stand out” 

    Small = safe. 

    BUT, yes yes there’s a but here – my lack of documentation is also because I love the process of creating so much that the end of a project is merely that, – the end. 


    Today I am being brave.

    Today I am giving you a part of me- my art. 

    Maybe it’s because I’m taking part in the Tony Robbins  “Comeback Challenge.” or maybe it’s because I’m tired of playing small!

    The things I want are BIG.

    Those dreams require that I step out of the shadows; into my spotlight to share my gifts & knowledge.

    They require me to take risks, in hopes that I can inspire even only one of you to be brave enough to be you too.

    You make you.
