Authors That Inspire: Rosie Molinary
I met Rosie Molinary when I registered to take her workshop on memoir at my alma mater, Davidson College. Her author journey began from her own experience dealing with body image and self-confidence. Now, with two books under her belt, Molinary hosts workshops to empower other women to follow their own paths and dreams. If you live in the Charlotte, NC area, check out Molinary’s visionSPARK workshop to be held on January 5th at a local farm. You will leave the workshop with an inspiration board and a new mantra to build your new year upon.
From The Studio: A Business Update
I can’t seem to do a clean site launch. I’m sure some of my more devoted readers will notice small changes to Runs With Markers on a weekly, and even daily basis. Also getting a slow facelift is my professional site, gracebarkley.com. I finally have my brand visually where I want it to be. Now, it’s just the business side of the equation that gets some tinkering. Last week, I received my first freelance assignment for South Magazine. Be sure to look for my article in the February/March issue of the magazine, hitting stands all over the South at the end of January. You can see articles I have already written for South on their blog.
Meanwhile, to boost my freelancing portfolio, I am following the guidelines of Lexi Rodrigo, a mom and freelance who authors The Savvy Freelancer. Her list, 31 Days to Start Freelancing, provides individuals with a step-by-step process to get their businesses up and running. I would definitely recommend checking this out regardless of your industry. Designers, writers, decorators and bloggers can all benefit from her great program.

Art I Love: Toba Khedoori
I discovered Toba Khedoori at the Venice Bienalle back in 2009. The best way to experience her work is nose to paper as her detail is simply remarkable. Khedoori is an Australian-born, Iraqi artist represented by David Zwirner in Los Angeles.
Bloglovin’
Just a heads up to my readers, I’m on bloglovin’ now! Just another way to keep track of what I’m up to.
Star Light, Star Bright: Celestial Designs I’m Loving
With the Christmas season approaching, one motif I think that gets forgotten about (along with Reindeer)is stars. I’m not saying these stars have to be biblical, celestial bodies are something that humans have long drawn inspiration from.
