I filed my rejections and went to my<br />

easel for real. When I emerged some<br />

years later I found I truly had something<br />

to love, something to do, and<br />

somewhere to be. Amy was teaching<br />

improv at the Upright Citizens<br />

Brigade and bringing her comedy<br />

sketches to the table readings at<br />

her new job at Saturday Night Live.<br />

I was delivering my paintings to a<br />

new neighbourhood, the Park Avenue<br />

moon smiling down on another<br />

grateful hustler. Some days I even<br />

had a little walking around money --<br />

slip through the hole in my pocket to<br />

jangle around in the hem of my coat.<br />

Sincerely, Sara<br />

Esoterica: Letting go and caring less about that thing you want so badly is a tricky<br />

feat. Amy sums it up like this: “Care about the work you do but not about the result.<br />

Care about how good you are, but not how good people think you are. It’s a hard one,<br />

but organic plodding with joy might just get you where you really want to go. Mix in<br />

public opinion and past regrets. Add a dash of future panic and a whole lot of financial<br />

uncertainty. Career is something that fools you into thinking you are in control and<br />

then takes pleasure in reminding you that you aren’t. Career is the thing that will not<br />

fill you up and will never make you truly whole.” Creativity, however -- and that light<br />

inside that drives you -- is the love of your life.<br />
