That gave me a perspective I didn't know I needed! Thanks, Kyle!

Hi, Linda - so glad you liked this issue. I thought it was an important thought to share.

Dang, did you write this sensing I needed to hear these words? (Of course not but you get what I’m saying, yeah?) I moved to France two weeks ago to study French. A lifelong dream made real. So why do I feel terrible?

I stopped drawing everyday after getting into a good gosh darn rhythm. And I haven’t opened one single tube of paint like I intended.

Your post reminded me to reframe my “failure”. My priorities changed because my life changed. I’ll find my rhythm before long. Until then, danke schön from one mid-40s person to another.

Hi, Vicki - I'm glad to read that this article was a helpful one. Je sais que vous aller faire quelques chefs d'ouevres en France! Ca va aller.

That's a ton to "life" manage Kyle. Keep rolling is right!

Wish you were still in WSalem. The Artists Thrive 4-Day event was outstanding.

Hi Kaly,

I'm shocked at how much your emotional world resonates with me and how well you manage it. Thank you for the positive energy! And welcome to Germany. The Germans can be a bit reserved, but there are some truly wonderful people here. Just approach everyone with an open heart. There's always meaning in things, even if we only recognize it in hindsight.

Best regards!

Thx for much needed advice.

Sometimes you just have to push through. Procreate Dreams looks and can be daunting at times; but enter the process with “a child’s mind”. . .

LEARN BY DOING.

As an Art Teacher this should come natural but being all to human we forget.
