Vigil for Survival Event

So are you making the right decision? How do you know? Does self-doubt sabotage your willingness to experiment with new ideas, interests or meet new people? Self-doubt often increases our self-judgment, making us more self-conscious and less entrepreneurial.

Coming Soon: Berkshire Directory of Creativity
If you have a website (or several) and you’d like to get the word out about the creative work you are doing here in the Berkshires – send us the link and we’ll add it to the Berkshire Art Kitchen website.
We are in the process of creating a directory of Berkshire-based creative businesses featuring artists, graphic designers, musicians, writers, as well as galleries, museums and other venues for creativity.
(Much needed in my opinion – so I hope you’ll send yours along!)
Here’s to your creativity!!!
