Sharing the Experience
"Are you willing to take a chance on you?"
~ Suzanne A. B.
Have you ever signed up for something you knew might be good for you—but you didn’t feel excited about it at all?
That was me yesterday. I attended an all-day art retreat that I signed up for weeks after my mom died. I was resistant in signing up, but some part of me knew it would be nourishing.
Drawing and creating was my happy place as a kid but it’s been a long while since I made time to draw and paint.
The reasons were many: It took too much time. There were more important things to do. And I simply forgot how much I loved it.
Is there anything that you've loved to do as a kid but forgot or have since resisted?
