Questions
1. What inspired you to start blogging?
I have been blogging for a few years, but mainly I was just logging my random thoughts and photos without any real purpose or focus in what I was saying. In early 2013, I knew that there was more to me than what I was sharing with the blogosphere and decided it was time for a change. I wanted my message to do more than just entertain! I wanted to, in some small way, change the world, by creating a community of creative people to venture out and starting with small measurable steps start creating the lives of their dreams. If that meant I would be able to explore the artsy side of life and share what I found, the better.
2. How did you come up with the name to your blog?
I had been looking for a new blog name for a few months, and I actually stumbled across This Artsy Life while I was doing my morning pages. I was going on and on, writing down what I wanted my dream life to look like, when I wrote the sentence, “When I think about this artsy life, I can’t helped but be totally jazzed!” It was then that I saw it, “This Artsy Life”, I knew I had finally found my new name.
List your top 5 “Big Girls”! These are the women who I most want to emulate in my life/artsy career!
- Melody Ross – Brave Girls Club
- Kelly Rae Roberts
- Christy Tomlinson
- Jennifer Lee
- SerenaThompson – The Farm Chicks
Tell about your dream job.
I would love to be able to say that I was a full time artist, life coach, photographer, art instructor, and art retreat hostess!
Is your glass half empty or half full?
I am definitely a glass half full kind of girl!!
If you could go anywhere for a week’s vacation, where would you go?
I would go to France and just take in all of the culture, the food, the sights, the sounds, people watch like a crazy American, which I am, and have THE BEST TIME EVER!!! 😉
What food can you absolutely not eat?
Mushrooms. I am allergic. 🙁
Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
Dark chocolate any day!!
How much time do you spend blogging?
I figure I blog between 10 and 15 hours a week! 🙂
What top 3 pieces of advice would you give a newbie blogger for starting a blog??
- Be consistent in your posting so people know when to come back to find new content.
- Share your beliefs, thoughts, opinions, etc. That is how we, as your readers, are going to get to know the real you!
- Find your own authentic voice.
