Find Yourself Through Art

in Self-Love· Time/Space Management· Women Create Weekly

You don’t have to be perfect to get started.

Have you wanted to make something before?

Did you have a whisper of creation creep in?
What a beautiful whisper that is.

Exciting. Elusive.

But what about those pounds you need to lose?
Your house is a mess.
There are too many important things you need to take care of.
You don’t have enough time.

Is that the story that you hear in your head?

“You’re not good at that.”
“You don’t know what you’re doing.”
“You’ll never have time to finish it.”

Do you ever tell yourself that?

But what if…
What if you CAN.

What if you can act, WHILE you aren’t good enough?
WHILE your house is a mess?
WHILE your kids are unhappy?
WHILE you have family demands?
WHILE you’re not very good at it?

What if you had FUN?

What if you can create amidst the chaos?
What if the very act of that creation calmed your storm?
The storm of your life.

What if you can start in the direction of your dreams, with hope as your guide?

I can do hard things.
You can do hard things.

We can do it.

If I wait…
…until I think I have enough time…
…until I have a cute enough body to look good on video…
…until I feel like an expert in what I want to share with you…
…until I feel like I have a handle on motherhood…
…until I have a spotless home…

Guess what?
I’m going to have a whole lot of empty yesterdays.

I can’t change my past, but I can start today.
I can do one small thing that fills my soul.
And I can share that with you.

So that’s what I am going to do. And keep doing. And keep doing.

That’s why I created Women Create Weekly.

This room will help me be a Woman Creating Weekly.

I am so grateful for my husband who believes in me and sacrifices to help my vision become a reality.

You don’t have to be perfect to create a masterpiece.
You just have to be YOU.

 

p.s. Who else has self-image issues?? This was a brave thing for me to do… and you saw how I actually dress most of the time #yogapantsandpjs

p.p.s. Would you do me the hugest favor and share with your favorite button below? I would love to help more women spark their creativity.

Happy Easter Sunday, my friends. Whether you celeb Happy Easter Sunday, my friends. Whether you celebrate Jesus or rebirth, our hearts seek light and goodness. May we conquer darkness with gratitude today.
There’s an incredible garden in my parents’ ne There’s an incredible garden in my parents’ neighborhood I admire every warm visit. This was the first time I happened to pay attention to it in the winter. I’m not a gardener, but most of the plants were cut back in places, looking so bare and pathetic.

But I KNOW this garden. It's magnificent. 

And yet, here in the 30 degree temperature, I'm looking at blunt gray and brown stems. Empty earth, and such drab flatness. 

But it's there. These beautiful plants are resting, cut short and hiding under the soil. They can't continually bloom. But they will bloom again. Right now, they are resting. 

I want to give you permission if you are in this hibernation stage at the moment: it's really okay to do nothing and demand nothing of yourself. This stage doesn't last forever. 

Get quiet. Really quiet. 
So you can finally hear you. 

And give it TIME. Your spring will come. 

Just like that garden, YOU are magnificent.

Two images to show a major shift I had the other n Two images to show a major shift I had the other night. As parents we work really hard, and often have to deal with stressors and the heaviness of life. Sometimes the people we care most about get the crumbs of our emotional energy and attention. (Even if they’re getting our face time, we may not be fully present). I worked really hard for 2 months on some big projects (one being a 50-video beginner watercolor course!!) and my daughter wished we’d do something together. But I’m exhausted. Yet, I a few nights ago I took a breath and 5-4-3-2-1 decided to make a fun mini date before bedtime (thanks #melrobbins). We made matching hair in 2 minutes and then painted some watercolor valentines together. It really wasn’t a big deal, and didn’t take a lot of time. As she went to bed, she hugged me extra tight and told me I was such a good mom. Nice to hear, but I didn’t need her words to know I’d made the right choice, and that it really wasn’t even that hard. Something I thought I didn’t have the energy to do, was now done!! What about you… what in YOUR life are you deciding not to put off any longer? I wanna hear about it.
When was the last time you took yourself to lunch? When was the last time you took yourself to lunch? Only you, no coworkers, friends, or partners. #selfhealerssoundboard podcast mentioned this a few months ago, but I didn’t do it. It was only after feeling down for a few days after releasing my new watercolor course, that I realized I wasn’t celebrating. 50 videos with logical steps building a secure foundation is something to be proud of, but I was too burnt out to see it. Take a pause and with a birds’ eye view, what needs celebrating in your life? Maybe you cleaned a junk drawer finally, or sent a difficult text, or got recognized at work. Tell me… what will you celebrate? #selfcare #selfcoaching #celebrateyourself

Looking back on an amazing 2022! We've grown in the number of members, I surpassed my overall business profit goals, and I am launching my signature watercolor course in mid-January. I'm so grateful my soul craves to create, and the feeling I get when I do it regularly. Thank you for being here, my friend. I can't wait to see what 2023 will bring.
