Hey people, listen up! Get close and personal with me as I share parts of my life with you. This won't be offered anywhere else, so sign up today. The Rewards begin now!

​Patreon is a platform for independent artists, and is a great way for you to contribute to their worthwhile causes. 

I believe there is an exchange in everything we do. When I sit down at a restaurant, I expect to pay for my meal. When I go to a concert, or a movie, or a museum, I can’t get in without paying for a ticket. I see my writing the same way.

Writing is my life’s work, my passion. I put everything I have into each piece that I write. There is value in my work. I am providing something – my heart, my wisdoms, my insights, my thoughts and feelings.

This is my passion and it is also my job. I would be so grateful if you would honor my work and support my craft. This way, I can keep writing and you can keep reading.

I'm looking forward to sharing my inspirational quotes, my weekly/daily journal writings and videos with you. Thank you for your generosity. I wouldn’t be where I am without your readership and support.

Much gratitude!
Peace,
Zushka

I'm adding one more position to my ever-growing resume:  Motivational Speaker

While working in my Jerome studio this lovely Sunday afternoon, a small group of Canadians wandered in. "What do you do here?" one of them asked. I gave them the four-cent-tour, showing them the featured artist of the month's paintings on display in my gallery, a table full of my photography, my book The Secret Butterfly Trail for sale, autographed of course, and some of my modeling photos. They enjoyed the free coffee and goodies too.

The questions came and I answered them like I usually do - animated, smiling, full of laughs and one-liners, like "I was raised by hippies in the middle of the woods in Connecticut." But once the conversation started, I explained simply and matter-of-factly how I ended up in Jerome, and Sedona, and Michigan, and how I talk to the Universe every day, surrender and live in a constant state of gratitude (with a little humor and sarcasm thrown in). One of the visitors said "You should be a motivational speaker, if you aren't already."

"Oh, no. I'm much too busy with photo workshops and designing websites, drawing floor-plans and arranging First Saturday Art Walks." Seriously, could I add one more thing to my busy schedule? I mean, I'm already in need of a Personal Assistant and probably a couple other helpers. I couldn't possibly be a public speaker too.

"You're famous," said an older man with bright eyes and a big smile. I stared at him for a few seconds, then looked at the rest of the group. They were all looking at me the same way. "Well, I'm not famous. But I have done some public speaking, and I talk to groups just the way I've talked to you here today, like I talk to friends about my life-stories." 

We hung out on the comfy couches in my studio, sipping coffee and talking and laughing. The best part:  they opened up about their personal lives, sharing their tragically beautiful stories with me. After an hour or so, the sister of the other man said "You've been through more than most people, and look at you - you're doing great. Would you mind talking to my daughter? She's struggling."

I don't know what I'd say to her daughter, except the same sort of things I say to my own, which is pretty basic. "Do a little bit of everything and see what sticks. When something clicks, and you obsess over it and can't wait to try it again, do that for a while and see where it goes. Have a vision and don't wander away from that vision. Keep your vision alive, every single day." That was how I got into photography, and everything else I do with passion. I didn't take a class or study with a master. I picked up a camera and started experimenting and sharing my photos with the photographers I modeled for. Sounds like simple advice, and it is, but you also have to be willing to sacrifice and fail, over and over and over again. I'm a pro at that!

Motivational Speaker - Why not? I'll give it a whirl. Like with everything else I create in my life, I'll jump in feet first and figure it out as I go.  Like one of my favorite motivational speakers, Tom Bilyeu, says:

"No one is born a visionary. You cultivate that s**t." - Tom Bilyeu
