Hello and welcome to my blog.
My name is Rebecca Gallagher and each week I share what’s going on in the journey to build a creative voice. Hoping to bring encouragement, possibly a nudge, and maybe a giggle or two. Whether it’s documenting the journey of creating new artwork every day for two years, sharing the process of sending 50 shirts to 50 Congresswomen, or waxing poetic about my love of coffee, I hope to bring you value. I’d love to hear from you and find out what you’re into. Drop a message, question, or just say hi!

Share this:My apologies for missing the last few weeks. While I did have a few unexpected circumstances come my way, it wasn’t my intention to drop this ball. However, these days, I’m not as thrown off by things not going … Read More
Last week I shared a couple of happy highlights and was so delighted at the number of you who reached out to share your thoughts about how to deal with doubt and what it looks like to work toward something you want. #yourock… Read More
This past week I got a couple of messages that really boosted my spirits. Since I’m trying to get better celebrating along the way I wanted to share those highlights in this week’s post.
I submitted an audition for a book earlier in the week, which in itself is nothing unusual. On any given week I can submit multiple auditions for various projects. Rarely do you ever hear anything back after sending your audition, unless of course you land the gig.… Read More
There is a place where I believe we spend a majority of our lives. A place I am calling “The Unsexy In-between.” It is not the Mountaintop, a.k.a. the glorious moment when we reach a goal or an opportunity comes our way as a result of work we have done.… Read More
