FINDING YOUR BLISS
Exercise by Master Healer Artie Wu, Preside Life:

- Something art-related, Empowering artists: Needed, no biz model.

- Dinner parties + potlucks: Happy; not sure how to make biz model work
- Something in fashion / apparel: Interesting, no exp.
- Run a surf shop: Lazy; location not ideal
- Run a breakfast spot that serves great coffee: Fun!

I wrote this before CivicHacks. Before Startup Storytellers, 247Creative, Test City, U.S.A., WearGood, Game Jam, GoodCrib Hackaroo, Tiny Acres and WellHQ.
I was really sad and dejected on many levels. The bottom of the well in grief.
Before I started going after my Bliss, the eternal Calling, I had to start back in my hometown where I could heal.
It's fun to see how much of this has already been incorporated into my life now.
And how now I see things like communication and marketing as the core strengths that have helped me do all of it.
Live Your Calling. Start by writing it down.
