I rocked my breakout!

With back-to-back art shows and tight travel, flying back to Salt Lake to do a breakout session for the Show Up for Teachers was a hustle. But wow, it was so worth it.

There were plenty of unexpected curveballs, right up to about an hour before I had to be on stage in front of 200 teachers. But when it was go time... I nailed it. I contribute the no fear and ability to pieces together a 45 min presentation seamlessly to the MH classes and the Sowcase back in March.

During the breakout session, we dove into something powerful, how to reconnect with your passion and reignite resilience by tapping into their childlike creativity. I encouraged them to take the creativity they already have and layer it onto their existing skills—and watch it blow up in the best way.

The session was 45 minutes long, with three 4-minute intervals where the music took over. That’s when I sprinted back to the canvas and painted—three different times, full throttle. Music blasting, adrenaline pumping, and me running back to the canvas and painting... was a rush!

By the end, I created a 48x48 ocean sunrise repeating "despite trials, eveyday is a beautiful new day when you are living your passion". They were on their feet, laughing, energized, and inspired. It lit me up.

I love doing this.
