Less. {22} ___________________ Today I realized two things. One, I am going to make it. I am going to finish this challenge. It has been hard but I see a light at the end of the tunnel and I am proud of the thought and time I have put into thinking about things and how they apply to me and my art. And two, I am worrying about the control less every day. ___________________ Two weeks ago I would not have been able to share this way on Instagram. And maybe I never will again, but it is a milestone. I have less worry and stress over being vulnerable, about being open, about just being me. I have learned that the LESS I worry about what others think the more productive and happy I am. So goodbye to the self doubt and hello to being a real person. ___________________ Real. Now that is a good word too. That means that I will have to embrace the days that the art doesn’t come easy, and the days that I feel unsure and scared about things. That means I won’t always be pretty or happy or energized for the world to see. But it does mean I will be real and honest about things. And it means that even on the less than wonderful days I will have learned to take them in stride. Head high, full of grace, eyes wide open and ready to take on whatever the day brings. ___________________ And I am going to try to be real about art too. LESS worrying about the judgement. More sharing of the real and raw. That is real life, real art. And the more I accept that for the reality it is, the less I will try to control the uncontrollable. ___________________ Thinking you’d like to give this challenge a try?

Learn. {20} So many great words so far this month, but learn is a big one. I really crave learning new things. I am learning that I can study something new and not feel obligated to mentally record it verbatim. I am learning that I can research and investigate and read and watch and listen and just take away from the lessons what speaks to me as a life long student. And I am learning that no matter what I need to make time to just BE. I need to sit still and wind down and think and not always be going and doing and acting. But...Despite all that I have been taught, I have made mistakes in the past. BIG mistakes. Life altering, life changing mistakes. But I always kept putting one foot in front of the other. And maybe that is the biggest thing I have learned to date- that sometimes we learn the most from our mistakes. So I think while learning is important, so is messing up. If we didn’t fall down once in awhile we might never ever discover the good things that can and do come from the consequences sometimes. There are exceptions to every rule, good and bad, but I know that the mistakes that I have made in life, mistakes that I thought I would never rebound from, well those are the ones that got me here and that means I learned ALOT along the way. Art is no exception. I continue to learn and I continue to mess up. Like alot. But I know that for every “mistake” I make I have an opportunity to build on that and to learn from it too. (Like this green today- what the what? But I let it lie. I am learning to let go and that is a big deal.) Excited to learn something new?
