In the busy world in which we live
my biggest asset is…
Time
I know…. I feel it too! There never seems to be quite enough of it!
Let me tell you a story… my story!
A decade and a half ago I had every reason to be immobilized creatively.
I was a single mom, teaching full time, a sole provider for my family; you can imagine, time was at a premium!
But I made a decision to pursue my creative self in whatever small amount of time I had. That was a decision that changed everything! My decision went something like this:
Everyday, even if it is only 1 small mark, I will paint.
Some days it really was just 1 small mark, but I was creating a habit, building my creative voice, developing my skills, and finding joy in that expression.
I didn’t have much time, but I found a little time, then a little more.
Time in a day, is the same given quantity to each of us…
so we have to sort through our priorities and consider our season of life.
Let me ask you….. Is now the time?
To start a small, manageable habit…
To let your creative voice speak…
To develop new skills…
To find new joy in your artistic expression?
All it takes is 1 small decision that over time changes the trajectory…
Make the decision!
Follow through.
Don’t give up…
You’ll be amazed at the result.
