Beautifully written, it so mirrors what I am just now discovering about myself and my process. For the past year (since doing the Bloom True course) I have been on an amazing creative journey, allowing me for the first time in my 50+ years to feel in my heart and yes! even down to my bones! that there is a body of work waiting for me to bring into this world. To be able to say and believe wholeheartedly that I have "my work" to do fills me with satisfaction, meaning, and purpose in a way that I've not experienced before. So profound indeed. Even though I've found my work is in fiber - quilting, embroidery, etc. the creative process remains the same. My journey has been facilitated and enriched immeasurably by the other creative folks I've met along the way, including you. Thanks again for sharing your world with us.<br />Sherri Shokler Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446305209377314838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398694221061693365.post-82093684079201427622014-01-25T15:13:16.254-06:002014-01-25T15:13:16.254-06:00I just discoverd you through the dirty footprints ...I just discoverd you through the dirty footprints website and I LOVE your wild, colorful art!

I was just telling my husband that I needed to spend more time practicing painting and that I was growing frustrated with not being as good as I wanted to be.
