KARL IS BACK!! 

And we're getting real today.  Karl is calming my boisterous energies and rampant doubts.   I've been in business and building a digital portfolio ready to show the world for a grand total of six months and somehow I believe I deserve some kind of recognition for it.  

The time has come to GET REAL and to overcome to destructive powers of social media.  However helpful they claim to be., your soul is often held hostage.  

Part 1 - Academy of Ideas:  https://academyofideas.com

Part 2 - Are the social media accounts of others anything to go by?  Do they provide an accurate window in to the circumstances of others and...does it even matter???  Therefore, how long are you willing to spend on becoming a master of not only your chosen skill in life but to become a master of yourself?  

Part 3 - Get things made for you.  Although I talk higher-end and getting in touch with very skilled craftsmen, there is an entire world of small workshops, ateliers and artisans out there desperate to hear from you and create for you something you will cherish forever.  It won't be "perfect" like something that has been run off a production line.  Perfection is always found in the imperfections.  That is what makes something truly handmade.
