There are many things that have gotten in the way of me pursuing my dreams but as I was organizing my art studio tonight, I realized that I have been one of my own biggest hurdles. Going through drawings, paintings, and sketches I’ve worked on over the years, I came across multiple pieces that I started and never finished. There isn’t anything wrong with these pieces, they were just barely more than a thought and then forgotten again, for no good reason. As I processed through this tonight, I started to understand myself a little more. I began to realize that…

I didn’t stop drawing and painting entirely because of life and it’s many hurdles. I stopped many drawings and paintings because I was afraid to finish them. Afraid they wouldn’t turn out the way I wanted them to, afraid I couldn’t find the time to complete them, afraid no one would like them, afraid I wouldn’t have anything to do with them once they were done. SO there they sat for many years…until now. I have officially decided to move forward with my art career FEARLESSLY, doing this because it makes ME happy and I’m not going to let ME get in the way. There has been, and will continue to be, life stuff….some good, some bad…that gets in the way but as I go forward today, I will not be one of those hurdles…I HAVE TAKEN MY FIRST STEP.
