Getting beyond the first page of any project is a challenge for me. Why? Fear of not doing it right. Fear of others "hating" what I create and the fear of it not being perfect. This journey is about me creating at random and letting it flow out from my being, of who I am, who I was and who I am becoming. Its embracing my humanness and my left brain tendencies but also encouraging and prompting the right side to make some bold statements of truth in my creative being.
Where does this come from? this fear...I think it is part belief system that was put in place a long time ago, when I was told to stop drawing/painting because it was a waste of time, or to stop writing poetry because it was stupid. Though those things were my passion... I stopped doing them at the age of 16. To regain that passion and freedom that I had in those days, those earlier days is my hope to recapture and I am blessed that I can journey through this self discovery with my two friends, and learn from them in the process.

Lesley,
You truly are a Renaissance Girl...you can do it all. You must host an art class. I love these summer layouts, your colors and use of recycled study books. Nicely done!
