I think one reason that doing art and especially sharing art is hard is that it\u2019s a piece of you. You are essentially \u201ccreating a piece from yourself\u201d and if you expose it or share – the hope, the wish, the prayer is that people will be kind. That they will see something good. That they will accept and love and value the pieces of yourself that you put out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s hard. Because not everyone will see or accept you. Sometimes we feel like it\u2019s easier to protect or hide those parts of ourselves. To not expose or (even safer) to not even create. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we lose out on something incredible when we stifle or repress the creative parts of ourselves that long to be expressed and seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels easier to deny our creative longings than it does to express them. But vulnerability is critical for both artistic and personal transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m on an artistic journey. I\u2019m on a personal healing and transformative journey. I\u2019m on a vulnerable journey; and if you are interested in walking along side of me. I welcome you. There is no judgement here. You will be seen and there is space for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Art Challenge starts on September 1 and goes for 30 days. We\u2019d love to have you join us in whatever way you can. I\u2019ll be here in all my glory and chaos. The mess and the wonder is invited to just be present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need anything special. Paper and pen or pencil works but I would suggest some kind of a sketch pad, just so you have a journal of your journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
