1. I will create every day in 2016. Or almost every day!
2. I will market every day in 2016. Or at least on lots of days!
3. I will make some new, excellent connections in 2016. And not just Facebook friends and twitter followers!
4. I will find at least one person who wants to write about me in 2016. I will get myself profiled and interviewed!
5. I will have lots of rich, meaningful experiences NOT related to art in 2016. Art is great but so are lots of other things!
6. If I haven’t already, I will find my artistic voice in 2016. I am tired of not making art that is “really mine”!
7. I will play more in 2016 and I will also take myself more seriously in 2016. I want to do both!
8. I will sell lots of art in 2016. Or at least some!
9. I will experiment and explore in 2016. Not day after day of the same old thing!
10. I will lead a rich, healthy life in 2016, one that includes art but that also includes all sort of other things, like love and friendship. 2016 will be an “art plus” year!

I do up goals for myself each year and find that by looking back on the list at least once a week it keeps me on track. These are great goals.
