MessageOn a cold winter day as I approached my 50th birthday, I heard a voice saying, “You need a hobby.” Off to the craft store I went, arriving home with paints, brushes, and canvases. Now what???
After viewing a few “how-to” videos on Youtube I find myself staring at a blank canvas…paralyzed by perfectionism. What have I done? What if I waste this canvas? What if what I make isn’t pretty enough to hang on a wall? My inner critic had her megaphone out.
A wonderful online class set my creative force free and transformed the fear into fun, taught me to enjoy the process rather than focus on the outcome. I merged my meditation practice with the creation time and it was amazing to see what emerged on the canvas when I tapped into Divine source. It was only the beginning of my new love affair with paint, color, play, exploration, creating…living life from a more colorful place and not afraid at all to go outside the lines. I love helping others tap into their divine creative gifts by sharing my journey back to intentional creativity
