“Be Free To Create!” When I wrote this many months ago I believe it was shortly after I did a sip and paint with my children at their school. We painted palm trees and a sunset. I followed the directions exactly and was excited about the results. I felt like an artist. I thought, “I could do this on my own” 🤦🏾♀️. I went home and tried to paint a picture and miserably failed. Meanwhile, my daughter just painted no matter if she made a mistake or not. It flowed. It was easy to follow a format and step-by-step directions, however, when I was left on my own I didn’t know where to begin. I didn’t know how to be free. Something fun became frustrating and I couldn’t understand why I wanted it to look exactly the way the picture looked as if I have been painting since I was out of the womb. I love art and creative expression, however, my desire for things to be a certain way caused me to lock my creativity away. So if you haven’t noticed, I’ve deleted all my previous post and I want to start over. I felt locked in a certain format and wanted things to look structured and organized. I don’t know if it’s my military background, the Scorpio in me, or what but that is who I am. That approach wasn’t working because it caused inconsistency. I want to give my self the freedom to express what Happy Work Week truly represents and not box up my creative expression with a bow on top 🎁 So now that I have that novel out of the way, what does freedom feel like for you? What does it mean for you to be free to create? If you made it this far, please share your thoughts. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5E556YJnFP/?igshid=1jb4no7lqgwjj
