Fantastic messages, fantastic drawings and metaphors. I particularly love the "more" illustration. It was an place that I have experienced in the past but no longer carry with me. As an neuro-linguistics coach this is great and extremely useful for my practice in a visual form to share with my clients. Thank you!
Man, this is great! I love it when folks get vulnerable about perfectionism, mistakes, and satisfaction. It opens so many doors for those of us who struggle with (re)accessing and incorporating our dormant creative energy; fitting it into lives spent squashing that desire down for decades because we acquiesced to external pressures . . . and other impossible goals.
Well said, Jon! I am quite guilty of perfectionism and perpetual dissatisfaction. But without those flaws, would I make anything worth sharing? And it's so hard not to be overrun by external factors, that's for sure.
Yup. When people ask how I became a nurse maybe they expect a story of heartfelt altruism. The story goes: My dad asked my 17 y/o self what I would major in. I said, "Art?" wide-eyed & glancing around my room filled with lots of art including mine. He said he wasn't paying for art. "Pick a career!" There's where my path forked - from authentic self to some other version of what (I thought) would make me happy because it made the people who (I thought) mattered happy. Thirty two years later I'm scratching around in the dirt for evidence of that old path. I discovered I'm somewhat of a gardener. What an adventure, eh?
Awesome stuff. Beautiful combos of great ideas, simple and perfect illustrations and succinct prose. I look forward to these so much. 👍🏻
I especially love Everything.
Thank you, Sue!
