You Don't Start Off At The Mountaintop

The Creative Brew

This episode the context of this topic is based from a talk that Coach Timmy Box, the head coach at Palomar College and the US National Beach Wrestling coach gave after a practice, along with some insights from watching the Olympic Games and seeing the array of world-level talent on display for everyone to witness. Many times we find ourselves comparing our circumstances to others. We all have our mountains to climb. Some get to the top faster than others, if you can stay consistent, resilient, creative and keep the dream alive you will get to your apex. When you get there take it all in, because sooner or later you will have to go back down to the valley to pursue an even bigger mountain. I gave some quick shoutouts to the Covet Art Gallery in Oceanside, Ca. they have an exhibit this weekend with a few pieces of my artwork on display and other amazing artists in the gallery space for people to connect and purchase a piece of art. Check them out on IG @covetartgallery My good friend Jarrod Dunn founder of the T.A.P. House, helping people that’s been recently released from jail, building them back up to become productive people in society. This program is building fast with future plans of housing up to 20 people. You can help support this great initiative, through corporate or personal donations to the T.A.P House. You can connect with him on FB at Jarrod Dunn or IG @ jarrod_dunn_1111 Ikigai Artifacts, a staple in the creative community in Oceanside is sadly closing their doors. As a business owner here, it can be tough being in retail and being an independent shop. Sato has done so much for the creative community to give a platform for other artists, vendors, and musicians. Right now his last event will be in August. If you want to help support Ikigai is selling a lot o the merchandise, paintings, ear plugs, etc. at discount to clear out the inventory. Of if you just want to give a donation go to @ikigaiartifacts to donate. Thanks for everything you’ve done for the arts here in Oceanside.
