Nikki Yeager

I know I've overloaded your inboxes with emails and updates over the last two days. But that's because it's been one crazy ride of interviews and art shows and new business and photo shoots.. and I just wanted to share with everyone who means anything to me

Today an interview between me and Carolina Baker was posted on BeChicMag.com. The second it went up I felt a little buzzer in my pocket. 11pm last night and I had a text.

The text.

"it's posted."

That's all it took, two little words. A tiny sentence without much substance but suddenly everything was just a little bit different. I called my mom and dad, squealing. People steered clear of me on the street corners as I jumped up and down talking 45 octaves higher than your average girl. This is the first time anyone has written about me (without me going out of my way to request it, that is!).

And the writer, Carolina, didn't just slap together a piece. She talked to me. And when I read "Nikki inspired me to continue working on my dreams," I started squealing all over again. Because I knew it was true, she didn't make that up. Which gives me warm fuzzies every time it crosses my mind.

Part of me is in disbelief that I have the power to "inspire" anyone. Part of me is overwhelmed by the fact I got noticed for my art. And the other fraction of my brain is just plain joyous. I've been tweeted, written about and commented on, all in one day. I know it may seem small to some of you... but that's never happened before.

And I can't help but think to myself- is this where it all starts? Does it just get bigger from here?

To which I've answered myself: yes. I believe it does.
